Senior Software Engineer

About the role

At Kubbly, we believe the way businesses and consumers will engage with each other will look completely different in the next 5 years. As Senior Software Engineer you’ll be responsible for building the systems and tools that will enable this change. You will work alongside the founding team to drive the product roadmap, develop new features and scale the platform. You will be product- and customer-obsessed many times evaluating your own hypotheses.

We are looking for exceptional minds to join us on this adventure, where each person has the opportunity and the obligation to make a difference.

We value passionate, data-driven ideas and believe in operating with high conviction and low ego. We debate vigorously to find the best solution and then align as a team to execute.

We are mostly in-office from our HQ in Williamsburg – 4 days per week. The focus on collaboration stems from our experience that live collaboration fosters cross-pollination and team bonding that a fully remote team cannot experience.

• This is a Senior role - You get to work independently, be an owner and help shape the vision and product roadmap.

• Lead the end to end system design starting with conception, development, and scaling of tools and features that will be used from business to monitor and drive customer engagement.

• Design, build and expand our proprietary database that powers our AI engines providing customer insights.

• Implement and optimize robust CI/CD pipelines to facilitate reliable, frequent software deployments.

• Raise the standard for code quality (best practices in software development, code reviews, testing, etc) and help us shape our engineering culture.

• Collaborate closely with the team to streamline workflows and reduce friction in the development lifecycle.

• Maintain clear, comprehensive documentation for all release processes and infrastructure systems.

• Stubbornness on the vision, flexibility on the details. This means you are flexible and curious to learn about new things constantly; you are perfectly fine to bury the hatchet for efforts that don’t lead to PMF and view this as a learning opportunity.

• Customer Obsession: we’re small and what we build is driven only by our desire to achieve PMF. This means we listen to our customers’ pains and work backwards to create awesome solutions.

• Desire to work (mostly in person), next to CTO, CEO and being involved with engineering decisions.

• Exceptional collaboration, and communication skills that foster a high-performing team environment (we believe that less is more when it comes to communicating clearly).

• 3+ years of experience in Software Engineering or Dev Ops.

• Strong programming skills (Python, Rust, Java, React, Golang, Type Script, Node.js or other scripting languages).

• Proficiency in cloud platforms (AWS preferred - EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, ECR, ECS/EKS), including building and maintaining containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Deep understanding of REST principles and experience working with backend APIs and services.

• Experience with relational databases (Postgre
  
  SQL, MySQL, etc.) and solid understanding of data normalization principles.

• Expertise in CI/CD best practices and tools (Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, Circle
  
  CI, etc).

• Experience using GenAI work boosting tools in your day-to-day job (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc).

• Strong skills in shell scripting (bash, zsh) and terminal multiplexers (tmux).

• Experience in early-stage or high-growth tech environments.

• Familiarity building and managing data and process pipelines using Airflow or other workflow orchestration tools.

• Experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools (Pulumi, Terraform, etc).

• A great opportunity to shape the future of Kubbly and grow into leadership roles as the company grows.

• Competitive salary and generous equity.

• 14 paid company holidays.

• Unlimited paid time off.

• Significant coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance.

  • Contribution towards medical, dental, and vision insurance for dependents.

• Generous 401(k) company match.

• Home office set-up.

• Gym membership.

• All the cold brew when the machine is not broken and every type of coffee possible.

• Great views of the Manhattan skyline.

$120,000 - $170,000 USD (for NY based candidates) plus significant equity.

(Base salary will be a factor of location, experience and participation in equity)
