Software Engineer

The Payments and Compliance Engineering team at Roadie is looking for a Software Engineer who is excited to develop backend systems that uphold trust, reliability, and smooth onboarding experiences.

You will join a tight-knit team of Engineers who work together on both our long standing Ruby on Rails monolith and our expanding set of Go microservices.

• Partner with senior engineers and tech leads to scope and understand project requirements
• Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing, and pair programming to support team development
• Apply industry best practices to improve performance, efficiency, and maintainability of applications
