Senior Software Engineer

Double is looking for a Senior Software Engineer. We’re currently a team of 3 engineers and 1 designer, looking for an independent contributor who can hit the ground running. We expect this person to grow with our team and be a major reason why we win.

Type of Work

We’re looking for a generalist backend engineer who knows python really well and is comfortable working with data and finance theory. Some examples of projects you’d own.

• Build and maintain data pipelines that pull stock data, trade data and account data from various places. Ensure robust infrastructure to support production applications.
• Build accurate and production grade APIs to serve realtime user data such as account balances, handle ACH transfers, stock trading and other mission critical elements of our product.
• Work on Fraud detection and KYC, and building flows and dashboards for internal agents to monitor the flow of funds.
• Ensure code quality with code testing and review

You should agree with most of the following:

• Moving quickly is the most important thing I can do as an engineer to help Double win.
• I don't shy away from hard work. Long hours and relentless effort are the norm, not the exception.
• Excellence is non-negotiable.
• Change is fun, and I thrive in chaotic environments. I can pivot on a dime and adapt my approach without breaking a sweat.
• I can navigate ambiguity and find my way forward with limited resources or instruction. I'll make things happen, even when the path isn't clear.

Experience

An ideal candidate will have at least few years of experience doing something like:

• Working at a Fintech on user facing features
• Have build data pipelines that deal with with complex data from various sources
• Have architected systems before for something like notifications, pub-sub systems or real time pricing feeds.

Stack

We write a lot of Python.

• Our app is built in Django, Airflow, Postgres, Redshift, React, Celery
• We’re open to new technologies but the most important factor is moving quickly

Location

• Double is based in San Francisco and it’s important to us for this role that you are as well. We’ll work together out of our North Beach office ~3 days a week.
