FinQuery is looking for a Lead Platform Engineer to join our team. We’re looking for someone with a passion for software engineering. You’ll be building, leading and working side-by-side with a small elite team focused on building platform capabilities to meet customer needs and infrastructure to meet application growth. We are 100% cloud-based, hosted on AWS using general agile development practices. In this role you are both the leader as well as a critical “get it done” person. You will work remotely with colleagues across the organization to design, develop, and deliver valuable software to our application teams and customers and continuously improve the way we do it.
What you will be doing:
- Build systems and APIs that multiple applications utilize
- Write lots of high quality code, quickly. You’ll set the bar for the team in terms of solid, practical, maintainable, testable code. You’ll also set the bar for how fast you can turn ideas into working software.
- Be the thought leader of the platform capabilities - understand our suite of apps and work closely with the CTO and other engineering leaders to turn ambiguous needs into high quality, scalable, maintainable software.
- Tackle complex problems, resolve them, and ensure solutions prevent future issues. Do so in a super pragmatic way - build/buy/use should always be on your mind and your team should never suffer from “not invented here syndrome”.
- Evolve our architecture to meet current and future needs for scaling, performance, security, and reliability. Your focus is on quality and speed of delivery.
- Participate in the processes the team uses to organize around the work and get feedback such as planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews.
- Communicate across the org to ensure your team is effective and achieves their goals.
- Work up and down the stack to implement new features and improve our systems. Our stack is C#, Ruby/Rails, Python, AWS, Postgres, Redis, Node and React.
Tools and Tech you will lead or work with:
- 5+ years experience in one of our core languages (C#, Ruby, Node, Python)
- 7+ years experience in software generally, ideally in SaaS
- Degree in Computer Science or equivalent, or similar professional experience
What experience and skills we need you to have:
- Substantial experience in at least one of our technology stacks. You have opinions about its strengths and weaknesses. You provide technical direction for a team implementing solutions in that stack. You also should know when to use a different stack.
- Experience increasing quality/reliability of systems through rock solid technical practices.
- Experience improving the practices of your team and organization
- Experience ensuring non functional requirements are met and maintained.
- A track record of accepting feedback and working to improve.
- Experience leading others and giving feedback.
- A desire to learn and grow outside of work through books, podcasts, meetups, conferences, etc.
- Degree in Computer Science or equivalent, or similar professional experience
Benefits:

- 401(k) plan with employer matching
- Great health benefits with multiple plan option
- Option to choose between in office, fully remote, or a hybrid work environment for all employees
