We are one of the fastest-growing vertical SaaS companies in history, and we are just getting started. EvenUp is backed by top VCs, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Bain Capital Ventures, SignalFire, and Lightspeed. We are looking to expand our team with talented, driven, and collaborative individuals who seek to have a lasting impact. Learn more at www.evenuplaw.com.

What We Look For

Extensive experience building frameworks, libraries, and distributed systems with a focus on reliability, observability, and performance.

Proven proficiency developing high-quality software—including production-ready code, infrastructure management, and RESTful APIs to industry standards.

Structured thinking and a strong track record of delivering complex engineering projects.
