Software Engineer II

Software Engineer II @ Tilt Team:
Engineering

Tilt is looking for a Software Engineer II to join our Leave Experience team and help us scale our product by independently delivering high-quality features, improving technical systems, and collaborating deeply with cross-functional partners. This position is a full-time role reporting to the Engineering Manager.

Job Description:
Roles & Responsibilities

• Independently build and deliver medium-sized features and projects that align with business goals by breaking down complex tasks, estimating effort, and delivering reliably with support from senior engineers.
• Improve system reliability and maintainability by reducing bugs and technical debt.
• Actively engage in product and engineering discussions and team cadences such as stand-ups, backlog refinement, and retrospectives, offering thoughtful feedback and driving improvements.
• Write maintainable, well-documented code and participate in code reviews that promote shared learning and respectful feedback.
• Participate in sharing knowledge and provide guidance to developers with less experience in domains or areas of the codebase where they have knowledge.
• Identify and communicate risks, bugs, or roadblocks early and clearly, collaborating with stakeholders to identify and implement solutions.
• Escalate architectural or cross-team concerns to senior engineers and, when needed, to product, design, and engineering leadership.
• Own specific product components and demonstrate improvements over time.
• Participate in our on-call rotation to help manage engineering escalations and ensure system reliability.

You’re a great fit if:

• You’ve independently delivered full-stack features from design to deployment in production systems, leveraging Python/Django on the backend and React on the frontend.
• You work independently and deliver projects on time with minimal oversight by effectively time-boxing your efforts and proactively seeking help when needed to stay unblocked.
• You consistently write high-quality code and are skilled at breaking down complex problems.
• You bring high levels of empathy to your work, mentoring and collaborating with teammates thoughtfully while connecting deeply with Tilt’s mission.
• You are comfortable working in ambiguous environments and help figure things out.
• You are comfortable using many systems at once and can learn software quickly.
• You are fearlessly flexible and curious and you thrive in an environment where we don’t have all the answers.
• You have experience working in startups and/or B2B SaaS environments.

Virtues/

Competencies:

1. Health & Family First:
You balance work and personal life effectively, get things done at a pace consistent with the business needs, show up and are reliable, and encourage others to put their health and family first.

2. Autonomy + Team. Always:
You are highly organized and can manage multiple priorities and deadlines at once, and are focused on scale and building - you understand that pace is equally as important as quality.

3. Be Curious:
When you don’t have all of the answers, you dig in and ask questions, don’t let negative assumptions drive your actions and instead assume positive intent and find truth, and are intentional in discovering the paths of self development Tilt has to offer and seek out opportunities to engage in professional growth.

4. Love Our Customers:
You show empathy and compassion; you strive to meet people where they are to offer maximum support.

5. Fearlessly Flexible:
You go with the flow and deal with ambiguity, and are not afraid to work without clear direction.
