About the Job

As an early-stage engineer at Elate, you will have a significant influence on application architecture and engineering culture. We are seeking someone who can challenge what we already have in place and push us to a better future.

Our team is a perfect fit for someone who wants to solve complex problems and who desires greater impact than what they would find elsewhere. We value open dialog and always strive to learn from one another.

What to Expect

  • Truly full stack development - you will be a part of every facet of the product.
  • Fast moving - we love to build, ship, and get feedback as quickly as we can.
  • Collaborative environment - we make the best product through collaboration, feedback, and iteration.
  • Opportunity for growth - you can shape your engineering future and work to build the best path forward as Elate grows.

What We Are Looking For

  • Someone who can lead the design, architecture, and development of major features and services within the product.
  • Mentor - someone who can provide technical leadership to a team of engineers, guiding them on best practices.
  • Collaborator - someone with great communication skills that can work with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Not afraid to fail and iterate quickly.
  • Positivity - someone who celebrates wins and doesn’t blame others.
  • A pathfinder - someone who can find the right solution for right now.

Experience

The ideal candidate has:

  • 8+ years of experience in software development, with 3+ years in a senior engineering role.
  • Strong experience with cloud system design / service oriented architecture (Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure).
  • Expertise in the full software development lifecycle, including Agile methodologies, code reviews, and version control.

The ideal candidate can

  • Show us a product they’ve built from the ground up.
  • Describe an engineering problem they’ve overcome.
  • Tell us what they love about Software.

Experience with these technologies is also a plus: Ruby/Rails, React, Terraform, Dagger Elate

Benefits

  • Generous Equity Compensation - you’ll be an owner of the business from an early stage
  • Hybrid Position (Tues/Thurs in Indianapolis office, Mo/Wed/Fri remote)
  • Time to Recharge (One-week summer break, one-week winter break, and unlimited PTO)
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental, Vision)
  • Elate Issued MacBook

If this describes you, and you are eager to embrace change and aggressive growth, then we are looking forward to meeting you.

Elate is committed to continually encouraging and supporting diversity in our workforce. We welcome any and all individuals who will challenge our norms and help us think differently.
