Better Software is a product development studio that partners with entrepreneurs and enterprises to launch new initiatives.
Many of these products evolve into large-scale systems, and we act as long-term engineering partners behind them.
We are looking for Senior Software Engineers who can work directly with founders, operate with high autonomy, and build products from scratch.
This role sets a far higher bar than typical engineering positions.
You are expected to work with:
1.
Extreme Ownership This is not a typical “take a ticket and implement it” role.
You will:
- Build entire products end-to-end, not just individual features.
- Drive clarity in requirements by working closely with product managers, designers, and founders.
- Make technical and architectural decisions with a long-term view.
2.
Extreme Velocity The only luxury early-stage products don’t have is time.
You’re expected to:
- Ship usable versions fast.
- Remove blockers proactively.
- Be comfortable working in rapid build–test–iterate cycles.
3.
Excellent Code Quality Most of the products we build go on to scale.
You must:
- Write clean, modular, OOP-driven code following SOLID principles.
- Never ship features without automated tests.
- Maintain ERDs, schemas, and documentation rigorously.
- Treat code reviews as a craft, not a chore.
4.
Final Gatekeeper of Releases You are the last line of defence before anything ships.
You are expected to:
- Personally use and test new features before release.
- Ensure nothing goes live without passing functional and qualitative checks.
5.
AI-Powered Engineering (Non-Negotiable) We operate with an AI-first engineering model.
This means:
- You must know how to use tools like Claude Agents, GitHub Copilot/Codex, and other AI systems to accelerate development.
- This is not copy-paste ChatGPT coding.
- You are expected to coach AI tools, review their output, ensure clean maintainable code, and verify all changes before merging.
Simply said, without AI-assisted development, you cannot meet the velocity expectations of this role.
6.
Tech Stack You will primarily build using:
- Backend: Python (Flask/FastAPI)
- Frontend: React, React Native using Typescript
Perks & Benefits:
- Work remotely from anywhere, enjoying flexibility and no commute.
- Comprehensive health insurance covering family members, with 24/7 remote doctor access.
- Generous PTO (12 paid, 6 sick days) plus holidays and paid parental leave.
- Fully funded annual team trips.
- Lead new initiatives and solve real challenges to enhance your career.
- Join a supportive, results-oriented team focused on learning and growth.
