Senior Software Engineer 🔥


It’s an exciting time at Crossbeam. Just one year post-launch, we have hundreds of companies using our platform, raised more than $15M of venture capital from leading VC firms, and are working with awesome strategic investors like Salesforce, Hubspot, and Slack. Best of all, we’re just getting started. In a market full of uncertainty, we are fortunate to have an unwavering long-term vision and the funding to see it through at full speed.

How did we do it? We picked a big problem and are solving it with amazing technology. Crossbeam helps companies partner with each other in a more data-driven way by acting as an escrow service for data. Our platform allows companies to find overlapping customers and prospects with their partners while keeping the rest of their data private and secure.

With this big idea comes some fun and unique technical challenges: We’re like a social network for data warehouses, so the data gets big and our results need to show up fast; we need to reliably find “matches” between data sets originating from different systems; we need our users to love the experience and capture real value every step of the way; security and trust are paramount. And there’s more where that came from.

You’ll join a small-but-mighty team of experienced engineers to take our software from early success to enterprise scale. This is an opportunity to truly influence and contribute meaningfully to our product and engineering practices.

We are looking for an engineer with experience building web-based software. You will be responsible for building new features (primarily in the backend, but also the frontend), writing tests, reviewing code, and handling support issues.

Requirements

  • 5+ years experience
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Deep understanding of relational databases and their performance characteristics
  • Experience architecting, building, and scaling large backend services
  • Knowledge of good devops and software development practices

Not required, but a plus:

  • Clojure or other functional programming experience
  • Experience with distributed systems processing large data sets
  • Experience with a frontend framework like Vue or React
  • Knowledge of a wide variety of databases, like Postgres, Redis, ElasticSearch, or others

These are some of your traits:

  • The idea of working in a fast-paced startup environment while shipping high-quality software excites you.
  • You embrace complex technical challenges and thrive on discovering simple solutions.
  • You’re not afraid to speak up when you have a point of view, but can “disagree and commit” once a final decision is reached.

HOW WE WORK

We are a small team of experienced engineers shipping lots of code. We collaborate early and often, putting an emphasis on designing technical solutions before coding them. We emphasize remote work, with teammates in the Philadelphia area working from home at least half of the week. The majority of our collaborative work happens on Slack and Zoom. We celebrate with team offsites and events about once a quarter, and welcome our remote team to join for some facetime whenever they can.

This role can be based in Crossbeam’s Center City Philadelphia Headquarters, or remote anywhere in the US. Remote employees should be able to travel to Crossbeam HQ in Philadelphia a few times per year.
