Job Description

**Summary Description**

SpectrumAi is looking for a seasoned Software Engineer to join our growing
team. As a senior full stack engineer, you’ll work closely with other
engineers, including offshore contract staff, and cross-functional partners to
design the technical underpinnings of SpectrumAi’s products and execute on our
ambitious product roadmap. In this role, you’ll be expected to be hands-on
building key systems and features for our products, and you’ll contribute to
the successful delivery of large-scale technical efforts. The right candidate
will be familiar with our technical stack, which includes Python/Django and
React JS. The ideal candidate will be someone who thrives in an early stage
startup environment where the ability to be nimble and build fast are
paramount, and one who will contribute to the rich diversity of the current
team. This is a great opportunity to be a founding engineer for a mission-
driven company.

**Key Responsibilities:**

* Lead technical architecture for broad or complex requirements with insightful and forward-looking approaches that impact an entire engineering function and solve open-ended problems.
* Contribute a leading voice to the development of methods, techniques, and standards across the engineering organization.
* Perform code and architecture reviews with peers and make recommendations on how to improve our code, architecture, and software development processes.
* As an experienced engineer, guide the efforts of your squad or functional group through active mentoring, coaching, and leading by example to foster a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
* Own key components of the codebase and their long-term health, while also improving the health of surrounding systems.
* Directly identify and build the right technical foundations needed for SpectrumAi’s products to scale.
* Proactively identify and address communication challenges to align on complex issues across diverse and geographically dispersed audiences and influence organizational goals and strategy.
* Contribute to incident response efforts, fostering a culture of preparedness and compliance, and ensuring that you are equipped to handle security and performance incidents effectively.

**Key Competencies:**

* Proficiency in modern programming languages and techniques, like React, Django, SQL, REST API and agile development.
Ability to balance immediate needs with building for scale, and comfort with
the challenge of making difficult decisions when resources are limited, as
well as ultimately supporting the decisions of others.

* Excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical constituents alike.

**Requirements:**

Our employees bring a diversity of skills and experiences, and we’re excited
to learn about all the ways your background will contribute to SpectrumAi. To
be successful in this role with us, you'll at least need the following:

* Bachelor’s degree in related field or other relevant educational background or training
A strong technical background, including 5+ years of experience designing and
engineering rapidly-scaling systems
Comfort with working on a new product under fluid conditions, seamlessly
balancing tactical and strategic considerations

* Experience serving as the technical lead and defining the roadmap for complex projects spanning multiple teams and functions
* An impact mindset - that is, you measure your success in terms of business impact, not lines of code
A collaborative and humble mindset.
We truly believe that teamwork makes the dream work, and expect you to be an
excellent team player who is open and eager to work with colleagues across the
company, rolling up your sleeves as needed to help the team deliver on key
priorities

**Special Considerations:**

* Experience working in a PHI-heavy environment
* Experience working in an early-stage startup environment
* Experience collaborating closely with outsourced engineering teams
