Software Engineer (Mid to Senior Level)

About the Role

We’re looking for a curious and motivated Software Engineer to join our growing engineering team at Second Nature. In this role, you’ll contribute to designing and building the software that powers our business while developing your own technical skills in an environment that fosters learning, collaboration, and ownership.

You’ll work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to create software that delights our users and drives meaningful business impact. As part of our growth-phase company, you’ll have the opportunity to make a visible difference in how we build, ship, and scale our products.

• Ownership-driven – You embrace our “if you build it, you own it” philosophy, caring about code from design through delivery and beyond.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to the design and development of backend services and APIs.

• Write efficient, maintainable, and well-tested code in TypeScript (and occasionally other languages).

• Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and pair programming to learn from others and share your perspective.

• Collaborate with product and design teams to translate ideas into technical solutions.

• Help maintain and improve our continuous delivery pipeline as part of our trunk-based development practice.

• Support monitoring, logging, and testing efforts to ensure high system reliability.

• Join lunch & learn sessions and technical book clubs to expand your skills.

• Gain hands-on experience in modern DevOps practices and AWS cloud infrastructure.

• Learn directly from senior engineers and leaders invested in your development.

• See the impact of your work on real customers in a company scaling rapidly.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of software engineering experience in a production environment.

• Experience coding in TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, or similar languages.

• Experience with relational databases and writing performant queries.

• Understanding of core software engineering principles, data structures, and algorithms.

• Commitment to writing maintainable, testable code.

• Curiosity, humility, and a passion for continuous learning.

• Front-end user interface experience with React is nice to have.

Our Stack

• Language: TypeScript

• Cloud: AWS

• Development approach: Trunk-based development with continuous delivery

Our Core Values

• Pirate Ship; not a cruise ship. Bias towards action.

• Massive Growth takes massive growth. We embrace challenges to increase our impact.

• Grow the Pie. We focus on results so our customers & their customers win. Triple Win!

• Purple Heart. We put the team before ourselves.

• Extreme Ownership. See something? Say something; right the ship to get us back on course.

• Be a moment maker. We aim to shatter the status quo.
