Role Description:
This is a part-time, remote Senior Software Engineer role. The Senior Software Engineer will design, develop, and maintain back-end services and APIs that support web and enterprise applications. Day-to-day work includes writing clean, efficient, and testable code, reviewing code from other team members, and contributing to architectural decisions. The role involves collaborating with consultants, project managers, and clients to refine requirements, estimate effort, and propose technical solutions. The Senior Software Engineer will also troubleshoot production issues, improve performance, and help implement best practices for security, reliability, and maintainability. Mentoring less-experienced engineers and contributing to technical documentation and standards is also expected.

Proficiency in Software Development and Programming, with experience building and maintaining production systems.
Hands-on experience with Back-End Web Development, including APIs, databases, and server-side frameworks.
Advanced skills in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and familiarity with design patterns and clean code principles.
Experience with version control (e.g., Git) and collaborative development workflows.
Ability to work independently in a remote environment, manage time effectively, and communicate clearly with distributed teams.
Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, or GCP) and CI/CD pipelines is a plus.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
