About the role

In October 2024, our team released an exciting new extension of Circle: Marketing Hub. We're now looking to expand the Marketing Hub team with a new Senior Full-stack engineer as we aim to make Circle the top choice for creator/brand-led communities. You'll be working on features related to CRM, marketing, member sign-up/authentication, and workflows.

In this role, you will partake in all stages of the development lifecycle, from initial task definition to final deployment. As a senior engineer, you'll break down large epics into actionable tasks, follow through with development and testing, review PRs, push updates to production, and gradually release behind feature flags. Your responsibilities will also include bug-fixing and continuous improvement of the codebase. This role requires a high level of technical proficiency and a strong understanding of software development best practices.

Note, we have a strong preference for candidates in North/South America time zones.

What you'll be doing

Work autonomously on a product built in Ruby on Rails backend and React front-end.
Build critical features and improvements for our web app and APIs with a product-first mindset.
Work closely with Circle's leaders throughout the feature design process.
Work closely with our designers to create a world-class user experience.
Foster a bias for action, prioritizing speed of iteration without compromising on the quality of code or user experience.

What you'll need to be successful

Motivation to understand the business, our users, their requirements, and to deliver results.
Comfortable in a fast-paced environment with a certain level of ambiguity.
Adaptable with the ability to change direction quickly if necessary.
Familiar with agile software development principles.
Should be able to lead a complex project end to end with judgment and an attention to detail when it comes to architectural, product, design, and process decisions, your judgment should inspire a high level of trust within the team.
Experience working on a fully distributed remote team.
