About the role

As a back-end engineer, you'll contribute to the evolution of our existing FSI platform, ensuring that our web services and data storage layer run smoothly and correctly while delivering useful tools and analytics to our customers. You'll also help guide our back-end technology choices, prototype new systems, debug performance bottlenecks, analyze datasets, and much more. A deep understanding of web technologies, an appreciation for data-layer architecture and tuning, and an analytical mindset will empower you to be involved in the majority of the Hazel tech stack.

A senior engineer will also be expected to bring leadership skills to bear when gathering requirements, joining customer conversations, organizing projects, and shaping our team's culture. We also anticipate that you will take on mentorship of more junior engineers and demonstrate leadership by example.

When it comes to the collaborative aspect of our work, you'll be joining a team that operates in an agile manner, keeping processes to a minimum and enabling engineers to stay focused on their work. Our team takes pride in close collaboration, honesty, empathy, friendliness, and our commitment to diversity.

Compensation is $125K - $160K (DOE), plus equity and a generous benefits package. Although we're currently working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we do anticipate a return to in-office work; therefore, we do not have fully-remote opportunities at this time. We are not able to provide H1B sponsorship; relocation assistance within the United States is negotiable.
