We’re a rapidly-growing start-up in the heart of Sawtelle Japantown, just blocks away from the 405 and the 10. Our loft-style office houses a passionate, hard-working team of ramen-slurpers, beach-combers, and LA-daydreamers. At our core, we’re a tech company, yes, but our people make the magic happen.

We are looking for a highly talented and creative Senior Software Engineer who is comfortable in an agile environment, looking to work with a collaborative team on building new platforms.

At Bridg, you will be solving complex problems with a business that celebrates innovation and values your contributions. We want you to wake up each day excited to use cutting edge tools/technologies and software development practices. Our product sits on top of many modern technologies including Kafka, Redis, Amazon S3, DynamoDB, and ElasticSearch.

The Bridg platform gives restaurant and retail chains the same level of customer insight (and revenue growth) as data-savvy online retailers like Amazon, leveraging hundreds of millions of data points.

Hungry for more? Snag a freshly-ground espresso and a ripe kiwi from our fully stocked snack-area; mosey over to one of our many rotating food trucks – we like the Jamaican truck, personally; or stroll up Sawtelle for a sit-down feast (yes, there’s something for everyone’s belly out here). We work hard, so we can play hard: personal and professional growth opportunities are punctuated with monthly team activities, like bowling alleys, dive bars, and catered lunches. And, yes, there just might be a rooftop holiday party. Not to mention robust health, dental, vision, and vacation benefits.
