At Scrunch, we believe senior software engineers are the lynchpin of high quality engineering teams. No other role has as much impact on the technical excellence of an early stage startup.
We're looking for a great generalist senior software engineer to join our team. This is a high-ownership role that will deliver critical features & improvements end-to-end – from devops & platform selection all the way to tuning UI to feel "just right". We especially value engineers who have strong product and design sensibility.
For this role, we'd like to see candidates that:
Have experience working in a high-velocity software development organization.
Are proficient at designing and building web application features end-to-end.
In this role you'll work with design & product experts, but you'll also design and ship user experiences on your own.
Experience with Tailwind and React component systems like shadcn is a plus, but not required.
Can build high-quality REST APIs (We use Python for APIs, but experience building APIs in TypeScript, Go, etc. is also OK.)
Are proficient with relational databases and application-style SQL
Plenty of experience using an application database stack like ActiveRecord with Rails, Python SQLAlchemy, TypeScript Drizzle, etc.
Ability to write SQL by hand if needed, including joins and aggregations
Are proficient writing unit tests and designing for testability.
Capable of handling DevOps tasks such as updating CI/CD pipelines, integrating and using error monitoring & other observability tools, etc.
Scrunch AI is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome people of all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and identities. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
