Senior Software Engineer

We're Proof, a startup in the legal tech industry. We’ve built a best-in-class legal services platform that is used by thousands of law firms, and growing over 10% month-over-month. We’re looking for talented individuals to join our team as we continue to scale and grow as a company.

Proof is 100% remote, work from anywhere within the United States!

What you’ll do:

• Play an integral role in the development of the Proof platform, working with a small but powerful team of engineers. You will not be a cog in a machine, and the work you do will directly impact the lives of tens of thousands of law firms, lawyers, paralegals, and individuals throughout the US, and eventually the world.
• Conduct design and code reviews to ensure scalability, performance and alignment with standards and best practices
• Work in an agile programming environment
• Write code primarily in Go & JavaScript
• Help the team define and maintain development practices
• Build out new features & service offerings
• Refactor existing systems as we move towards a service-oriented architecture

What we’ll expect you to know on day one:

• 5+ years experience writing production-grade code in a modern programming language

• Extensive experience with at least one backend programming language. (e.g. Go, PHP, Ruby, Node.js, Java). Specific experience with Go is a plus.

• Ability and willingness to learn and adapt to new languages and technologies

• Experience with or desire to work with service-oriented architecture

• Extensive experience with at least one modern frontend framework (e.g. React, Vue, Angular)

• You're a self-starter, take initiative, self-manage and require little day-to-day direction to be successful

• Proven understanding of REST APIs

• Knowledge to evaluate trade-offs between correctness, robustness, performance, space and time

• Experience in taking ownership of features, while working with a team on short and long-running projects

• Experience writing automated software tests (e.g. unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests)

• You're excited to learn new technologies, languages, tools and best practices

• You're a proactive communicator; you communicate concerns and blockers early

• Great to have, but not required:

• Experience with DevOps. Our stack is primarily Terraform/Kubernetes/AWS

• Knowledge and experience of event-driven architecture and message brokers (e.g. RabbitMQ, Kafka)

• Experience with large scale distributed systems and event-driven architectures

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines

• Prior experience building mobile apps with React Native
