The role:
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who brings not only technical excellence but also zeal, curiosity, and a deep sense of purpose to their work. On our Engineering Services team, you’ll help build and scale innovative software that powers Curri’s logistics platform—critical systems like user management, financial services, and pricing engines that touch nearly every corner of the business.
We’re seeking someone who is energized by complex problems, embraces new challenges with a growth mindset, and finds joy in creating clean, efficient, and impactful solutions. You’ll lead by example through mentorship, collaboration, and a genuine enthusiasm for helping Curri scale with intention and integrity.
This is a high-leverage role—ideal for someone who cares deeply about building systems that matter, improving the world of construction logistics, and working alongside a team of mission-driven, kind, and curious people.
What you will do:
- Design, develop, and maintain core backend services for foundational domains (e.g., accounts, user management, finance, pricing).
- Build intuitive internal UIs that streamline workflows and improve operational efficiency.
- Lead system design efforts, ensuring services are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with platform-wide architecture standards.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams, product managers, and stakeholders to deliver high-impact solutions.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to improving development practices across the team.
- Own projects end-to-end—from defining technical specs through shipping reliable, production-ready systems.
What you need to have:
- 6+ years of experience building scalable backend systems using technologies like TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Redis, NATS, and React.
- Strong expertise in domain modeling, system design, and building distributed systems.
- Experience designing, implementing, and supporting cross-functional foundational services (e.g., authentication, billing, pricing).
- Ability to build usable internal tools and dashboards that support internal teams.
- Proven track record of mentoring other engineers and raising technical standards.
- Ability to operate autonomously, with strong ownership and a bias toward action.
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Startup mentality with experience thriving in fast-paced, evolving environments.
Bonus points for:
- If you’ve mentored teammates on new ways to deepen their technical craft.
- Experience with financial services or pricing engine development.
- Prior work at high-growth startups or companies solving complex logistics or operations challenges.
- Familiarity with monitoring and error tracking tools like Datadog, Sentry, Jira, and Linear.
- Hands-on experience with real-time communication technologies such as Socket.IO, SignalR, STOMP over WebSocket, or native WebSocket APIs.
- Background in event-driven architectures and message-based communication.
- Familiarity with streaming technologies (e.g., WebRTC, RTMP, HLS).
What is in it for you?
- You will have the opportunity to work for a dynamic and successful start-up on a diverse team where you can make a huge impact by doing meaningful work.
- Significant and meaningful responsibilities from Day 1, with the ability to shape our GTM strategy. The possibilities are limitless and depend on you.
- Work in a remote environment with a flexible schedule. We don’t micromanage and want to help you do great work.
- There is no work/life—there is only life, and we want your time at Curri to be life-giving and foster the best version of you. We care about family and your own personal development and don't expect you to always be engaged with work.
- We offer a competitive salary, and benefits including, but not limited to, health, dental, vision, 401K, and an equity compensation grant.
