Visão geral da vaga

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER Who we are Makai Labs builds software that automates entire companies. We work across a diversified portfolio, which means our systems touch a wide range of domains, processes, and operational constraints. Our engineering team is small, senior, and high-output. We move fast, hold high standards, and trust each other to take ownership without being managed. What we're looking for A senior engineer with deep experience building and operating large-scale systems. You've shipped production systems that had real consequences when they broke. You've made hard architectural tradeoffs and can explain why. We write detailed, well-reasoned tickets -- we expect you to execute on them with autonomy and raise the bar on what gets shipped. We also value the experience you bring: senior engineers are expected to contribute to shaping tickets and influencing direction, not just execute on them. If you have interest in contributing across the stack, we welcome it and have domain experts who provide review and guidance on the areas where you're less seasoned. What we care about most - Systems thinking: distributed architecture, fault tolerance, scalability, observability - Engineering fundamentals that transfer across languages and frameworks - A track record of ownership -- projects you drove, not just contributed to - The instinct to go further than asked The Stack Our backend is Python. If you come from a different backend language, we expect the transition -- and we will invest in supporting it. What we will not compromise on is the depth of your systems experience and your drive to do excellent work. Our frontend is React. Qualifications and skills - 10+ years of professional software engineering experience - Strong backend engineering depth, including hands

Requisitos

10+ years of professional software engineering experience - Hands-on experience with APIs, SQL databases, cloud platforms, Docker, and CI/CD workflows

Benefícios

Strong written and verbal communication in English, especially in remote and asynchronous environments - Compensation that grows with your impact. We don't do annual review cycles -- when you raise the bar, we recognize it. High performers move fast here.
