Senior Software Engineer - Backend (E5)

Position Overview

As a Senior Software Engineer - Backend in the Fountain Worker Experience team, you will be part of a dedicated product team of 3 to 4 developers throughout the entire product cycle, which includes planning, architecture, development, and maintenance of the Fountain products. To do so, you will receive support from product managers, designers, and other software engineers.

To succeed in this position, it is important to have a proven track record of working with rich enterprise products and a solid technical background in backend development, data structures, and architecture.

The Worker Experience team is organized into product squads, each responsible for independently developing new products using a product-led growth approach. New products are released every quarter, with a focus on product-based software development. It is important that you are comfortable with this approach.

We are a rapidly growing team and product within Fountain that operates with agility and speed. You will be expected to make decisions even when faced with uncertainty, and you will have the freedom to do so. In fact, you will operate with the autonomy typically found in early-stage product development, rather than in a larger organization.

This role requires collaboration within a globally distributed organization, spanning different time zones, continents, and cultures (including Western and Northern Europe, USA, South Africa, India, and more).
