About the role
As a Software Engineer III on the FireHydrant team, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the server-side of our web application, working closely with your peers on the Engineering team, Product, Design, and our customer-facing teams.

- Partner closely with designers, product managers, and customer-facing teammates to understand end-user requirements, formulate edge cases, and translate criteria into simple solutions that solve customer problems
- Respond to critical production escalation issues through shared on-call rotation – our systems need to be working when our customers’ systems aren’t
- Champion engineering best practices and quality among your teammates and across the organization, including teaching and learning from your peers and responding to engineering related questions cross-departmentally
What we’re looking for
- Progressive (ideally 3+ years) Full Stack software development experience, including hands-on experience building applications in Ruby on Rails, Go, and React
- Proven track record of delivering projects on time with a team in a remote/hybrid setting
- Self-starter capable of diving into challenging problems and successfully delivering results on time
- Passion for quality - you care about writing maintainable code and leaving things better than you found them
- Deeply curious - you are customer-focused and have a desire to learn more about our product space and the end user
- Proactive communicator - you jump to solve problems without being asked
