Contractor Software Engineer (Global Contractor)

Why this role?

You’ll work on production systems, own projects end-to-end, and ship improvements quickly. We value curiosity, solid judgment, and thoughtful communication. When priorities shift, you adapt. When things break, you collaborate to fix them and move forward—no blame, just learning.

What you’ll do

• Design, build, and ship production features across our stack.
• Write clean, well-tested code and participate in code reviews.
• Collaborate on architecture, reliability, and performance.
• Use AI tools aggressively to speed up exploration, coding, and QA.
• Document decisions and communicate clearly in an async-friendly way.

Our stack

Elixir, Phoenix LiveView, Postgres, GitHub, Kubernetes, Terraform, Google Cloud.

What we’re looking for

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Track record of shipping and maintaining production systems.
• Pragmatic problem-solving and product sense.
• Clear, respectful written and verbal communication.
• Comfort working independently and collaborating across time zones.

Nice to have

• Elixir/Phoenix LiveView in production.
• Postgres performance tuning and observability experience.
• Infra familiarity (GCP, k8s, Terraform) and CI/CD.
• Security, reliability, and testing discipline.

Contract & flexibility

• $30–$60/hr (contractor).
• Fully remote — work any hours from anywhere.
• Async-first culture; fast review cycles; small, focused projects.

Other Information

• Tools covered: We’ll pay for the subscriptions you need (Cursor.ai, ChatGPT, etc.).
• Team: Small, sharp, and highly efficient engineering group.
• Growth: Revenue-backed with super low churn — scaling fast.
• Funding: Recently raised a $20M Series A to fuel product expansion.
• Location: HQ in Salt Lake City, Utah — but you can work any hours, from anywhere.
