You will be involved in building and scaling a data-driven platform that is creating an impact in people’s lives-after-retirement. The work ClearGlass does has a direct impact on the size of people’s retirement pot. You own problems you're working on, and you won't just be an implementer of someone else’s idea. You will have the ability to design solutions and work with multiple stakeholders to implement them.

Clearglass is very well funded by top-tier VCs and can provide job stability. The team is working from home currently, but will slowly move to a hybrid set-up. They offer support (including financial) to set up your home office.

You should know at least one of these:  

• PHP

Good to have skills:  Laravel, Postgres, NodeJS, Python, Ruby, Go, C, TDD, MongoDB, CakePHP

Role-specific info:

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work closely with the Tech Lead, and the rest of the engineering team to build and scale a data-driven platform. This role will act as a great springboard to accelerate career growth & transition into a Tech Lead level role. Your primary focus will be the development of server-side logic, building new services and APIs, developing core business logic, supporting the maintenance of current APIs, reviewing work, and improving the performance and reliability of our systems as we rapidly scale our product and organization. An effective Senior Software Engineer will be a self-motivated learner; a highly creative engineer having obsessive attention towards detail and thoroughness. 

• You’ve been building web applications professionally for 5+ years
• You’re proficient in PHP 7, Laravel, and PostgreSQL
• You possess strong OOP and design pattern knowledge
• Familiar with modern engineering practices: Code Reviews, Continuous Deployment, Automated Testing, etc
• You write understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability and experience with TDD (Test Driven Development)
• You have the ability to build RESTful APIs
• Explaining complex technical concepts to designers, support team, and fellow engineers is not a problem for you
• Well versed with the fundamentals of computer science and distributed systems

What would you do here:

• You want to be a team member rather than an employee
• Cultural fit is the most important thing. Start-up life is a roller coaster and they want to make sure no matter how the day has gone they can still go out (virtually) for a pint at the end of it. You take ownership
• You have an eye for detail
• You’re a problem solver and a perpetual learner
• You possess a positive and solution-oriented mindset
