Champion embodies our passion to build and cultivate an excellent company where we celebrate and advocate for what makes each team member a champion. We seek members with winning mindsets, creative and diverse thinking, and the desire to be all in.

Who We Are Looking For

As an early-stage startup, you will be part of the starting lineup — and at this level, you'll help define it.

We're looking for a seasoned Senior or Principal Engineer who brings deep technical expertise, strong architectural instincts, and the leadership presence to raise the bar across the entire engineering organization. You'll be a driving force behind our product, shaping both the technical vision and the culture of the team. We have great momentum with our initial product and a growing customer base — now we need someone who can help us scale intelligently and build for what's next.

What You'll Do

• Architect and lead the design of scalable, high-performance systems across our full stack using TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and React
• Drive technical strategy — evaluate tradeoffs, establish patterns, and make foundational decisions that will shape the platform for years to come
• Own complex, ambiguous problems end-to-end, from discovery through delivery, with minimal direction
• Design and build data infrastructure — data pipelines, warehousing solutions, and the data models that power product analytics and customer insights
• Develop and integrate ML-powered features where applicable, including model evaluation, feature engineering, and productionizing models at scale (strong plus)
• Mentor and grow engineers at all levels through code reviews, design discussions, and technical guidance
• Partner cross-functionally with Product and Design to refine roadmap items into well-scoped, high-impact work
• Leverage AI-powered developer tooling (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and set a standard for how the team integrates these tools into everyday workflows
• Champion (pun intended) extensible, secure, and observable software patterns across the organization

What You'll Need

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of leading technical initiatives on high-performing teams
• Deep proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, React, Vu, and/or Python; strong ability to ramp quickly on new technologies as the stack evolves
• Demonstrated experience architecting and operating distributed systems, microservices, and REST APIs at scale
• Strong hands-on experience with Cloud platforms (AWS or Google Cloud), including infrastructure design and cost-conscious scaling
• Advanced SQL proficiency and experience with relational database design, query optimization, and schema evolution
• Experience with data warehousing and data pipeline development (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, dbt, Airflow) — strong plus
• Exposure to machine learning workflows — feature engineering, model serving, or MLOps — in a production environment (strong plus)
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders in a remote-first environment
• A strong testing discipline, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing strategies

Additional Information

• $140k – $180k annual salary based on experience
• Comprehensive benefits, including healthcare, dental, and vision coverage for employees
• Meaningful equity grants
• Monthly equipment stipend to cover laptop, monitor, and any software or equipment you may need
• Hybrid or fully remote position
  • Local team members (preferred) come into the office approximately 2x per week (flexible)
  • Remote team members travel to the office approximately 2–4x per year for training, corporate events, or other business needs

Values We Live By

Go On Offense — We champion a culture of experimentation and adaptation, unafraid to maneuver as circumstances evolve, and we play to win.

Be Better Than Yesterday — In our arena of growth, every day is a new game.

Get Curious, Not Critical — We learn in a deeper, more meaningful way, driving greater impact.

Check Your Ego at the Door — We are curious, collaborative, open to feedback, and all in to do whatever it takes. The best idea wins, no matter who it comes from.

One Team, One Goal — We believe and understand that we all impact the collective goal.
