We’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer, Full Stack committed to high standards of excellence to help us continue to build world class products for our customers! As a software engineer at Spekit, you'll be focused on solidifying the core Spekit building blocks and creating and improving an experience to make Spekit a part of everyday work for users. The right candidate is technically strong on the front end (React) as well as the backend (Python).

Our customer-focused, product engineers build and test features end-to-end, support systems in production, and collaborate with the broader team on architectural design, technical debt, and the overall development process.

At Spekit, we take our core value of learning & growth mindset seriously. In this role, you will learn alongside our other talented engineers, and have first-class support by our experienced management and leadership teams. If you’re a do-er who thrives in a fast paced environment and wants to leverage your expertise to make real, measurable impacts on the future of an organization, we want to hear from you!

What we’re looking for in you

Product-based mindset: We think long-term with the product vision in mind. We empathize with the customer - whether that customer is an end user, another team, a 3rd party integrator, or Spekit's own employees. You have a desire to develop a product that end users LOVE to use on a day to day basis!
Curiosity: You can take a vague description of a feature and find the answers necessary to come up with a plan for development. You find the unknowns and work in a way to flush them out as soon as possible. You use small iterations and copious amounts of feedback to make sure you are on the right track. Where feedback loops are large, you propose ways to reduce the size of the loop
Action oriented: You are not shy about diving into complex problems. You’re determined to find the simplest solution, even if that solution is hard work. If you don’t know the answer, you seek others out with domain knowledge so that you can learn and make an impact. You have a willingness to work through unexpected roadblocks and leave improvements behind so that others don’t hit those same roadblocks.
Influence: You can communicate a vision and you have the tactical knowledge to help our team incrementally get there
Quality: We hate bugs and we test first. We look for root causes. We recognize complexity is a source of bugs, so seek ways, in both the product and the code, to do things more simply
Technical excellence: You are proud of the work you merge to production. You stand behind the pull requests you approve. Every line of code has a purpose. We solve today's problems today, and have the confidence and ability to solve tomorrow's problems tomorrow. You are not your code. You seek criticism and engage in discussion because you want to be better
