Rabbet connects people and data to streamline construction finances.

Rabbet offers cloud-based software for commercial lenders and real estate developers to centralize construction finances, automate administrative tasks, and reduce the time spent managing draws. Founded in 2017, Rabbet offers visibility and efficiency across billions of dollars in commercial construction projects.

Rabbet is backed by a leading FinTech VC (QED), a large strategic investor (Goldman Sachs), and Y Combinator. You’ll be joining a company that values efficiency, guidance, transparency, and relationships. We’re a small, but growing team (~25 employees), so there’s plenty of opportunity and expectation to have a big impact.

Rabbet is looking for a talented Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our remote, US-based team. We are in need of a growth-oriented self-starter who takes pride in their work, focuses on outcomes, and wants to work in a collaborative startup environment that prioritizes growth, shared ownership, and maintaining a product focus.

What you'll do as a Senior Software Engineer

• Own the development, maintenance, testing, and operations of a full-stack application. The backend is primarily Elixir/Phoenix/Absinthe and hosted in GCP. The frontend is React, primarily JavaScript with some TypeScript.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with our product manager, designer, other engineers, etc. to understand our users’ problems, design and build solutions to those problems, and validate our work.
• Build and maintain the application throughout the product life cycle.
• Take ownership and be empowered to make key decisions about what we build and how we build it.
• Grow as an engineer and assist those around you in their growth via mentorship, pairing, code reviews, and so on.

We're looking for someone who…

• Goes beyond building features to a spec by understanding the “why” and being an active participant in the product development process
• Is passionate about growth
• Takes responsibility for the outcomes of their work
• Thrives in a collaborative, cross-functional environment
• Enjoys architecting elegant solutions to technical and customer problems
• Is a “force multiplier”, not only delivering rock-solid solutions themselves but also actively works to level up other team members

Requirements

• 6+ years of backend software development experience, with 3+ of those in a functional language. Elixir or Erlang experience strongly preferred.
• 3+ years experience in React
• Self-directed and capable of working effectively in a startup environment
• Able to design data models and architect software solutions that consider both performance and future maintainability in a large, existing codebase
• Very communicative and responsive, as we work from home

Preferred Experience

• Experience building GraphQL APIs using Absinthe
• Understanding of Postgres database design and optimization
• Experience mentoring other engineers
• Previous experience working in a fintech startup

Compensation, Benefits, and Perks

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and contribution
• Opportunity to participate in ownership of a growing startup through our employee stock option plan
• We care about your total wellness: we offer a 401(k) plan with a generous matching contribution as well as comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
• We understand the importance of family and time to recharge: we provide parental leave benefits, ample PTO (that we encourage you to use), and remote flexibility.
• $1,000/year education stipend, to be used on courses, conferences, books, etc.
• Opportunities for growth towards technical and people leadership
• Entrepreneurial culture and a small, dynamic team

Location and Travel

• Must live in Colorado, North Carolina, or Texas (exceptional US-based candidates not in one of those states may be considered, though we do not offer sponsorship)
• Must be willing to travel to Austin, TX or Denver, CO once per quarter (we alternate based on the weather)
