Software Engineer (NYC)

How we work

• As an early employee, you’ll get to work directly with the CEO and early team to define and execute on tasks with high impact to Arpari and our growth.
• We promote an outcome-focused, low-bureaucracy work environment with an emphasis on having impact and moving relevant metrics.

The Role

As a key member of our team, you'll have a significant impact on shaping the direction of the company and product. You will manage Arpari features from design to deployment, solve complex issues, and collaborate with different teams.

For the right candidate, this is a rare opportunity to help build an industry-defining company from the ground up.

What we're looking for

We are not looking for specific frameworks, skillsets, and experiences. We value above all else folks who want to make real customer impact by building great software.

For example:

• You thrive at solving tough problems
  • You enjoy breaking down challenging problems into simple & well-designed solutions
  • You are fact-driven and want to measure the real impact of your work
• You enjoy building products and making real-world impact
  • You take responsibility over end-to-end deployment of what you build
  • You like shipping code frequently, iteratively, and collaboratively
  • You value MVPs and customer impact over perfectly engineered systems
  • You care about scalable infrastructure & process. Even better if you are the one to help improve / implement the system!
  • You choose the best framework / technology for the task, even if you might have favorites. We work primarily in Python on the backend, and React on the frontend, but are always experimenting with what framework enables the greatest performance and delivers the most value
• You like to work in an fast-paced, high-growth, team-based environment
  • You are entrepreneurial. This means having a growth mindset, finding problems without being told about them, thinking independently about issues and clearly advocating your position, and taking full ownership of your work, even if things go wrong
  • You are a helpful teammate and understand best practices for building products as part of a team e.g., code review / version control

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package, including equity
• Periodic team retreats
