Senior Software Engineer

WHO WE ARE DebtBook is the financial platform powering treasury and capital markets across the public sector. State and local governments, public universities, health systems, and the bankers and advisors who serve them run trillions of dollars in debt, cash, and investments on DebtBook. We've built the most sophisticated treasury platform in public finance — sitting at the intersection of treasury management and a $4 trillion fixed income market that's been waiting for modern infrastructure. ABOUT THIS ROLE We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a focus on front-end skills. This could be a great opportunity if you know a lot of front-end and you are looking to expand your back-end skills. You will need to balance working on projects on your team and working across teams to implement improvements to our front-end patterns. You will not be writing all of the front-end code for your team, and should have some time to learn and grow your back-end skills. Our engineers get to work on products in multiple stages of maturity: we are enhancing some products that have been in use for years, we are launching some products, and we have some that are in early development. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time. HOW WE WORK Our application is a Majestic Monolith built with Ruby on Rails, React, and PostgreSQL. Our app is hosted in AWS, and we use GitLab for our CI/CD pipelines and deployments. We use feature flags to allow us to continually integrate our code. Our front-end is built with React, TypeScript, and MUI React. We have an in-house library of accessible components that is documented in StoryBook. Most of the components are built out and being used in new development, and we are in the process of implementing them throughout existing parts of the application. Our back-end is a Ruby on Rails JSON API that communicates with a React SPA (single page application). All of our engineers work on the front-end, back-end and database. We have some engineers who are much more experienced in one, but we can all do some work in any part of the stack. We have a small dedicated infrastructure team, but our teams deploy and monitor their own code. Engineers collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and industry specialists to understand problems and design solutions. Engineers write and manage breaking down work into tickets and owning the tickets. WHAT YOU’LL DO Participate in all stages of the SDLC: solution shaping, system design, ticket writing/breakdown, write full-stack code, review code, perform deployments, participate in monitoring, and gather data for reporting. Own the quality of your work. Write tests and work with your team to ensure everything works before merging and releasing. Work cross-functionally on your team to ensure work is scoped to deliver quickly and deliver the right functionality. Work collaboratively with other cross functional product-focused teams WHAT YOU’LL BRING 4+ years of related professional experience Experience with React Some familiarity with back-end web development Ability to communicate complicated technical concepts well with teammates in all functions, including non-technical roles WHY DEBTBOOK DebtBook is a fast-growing company where we dream big, move fast, make an impact, and bring joy to everything we do.
