Full description
The Opportunity
Settlor is a fast-growing software company focused on building innovative solutions for the title, escrow, and real estate industries. We are looking for a Senior Web Application Developer who is not only experienced, but truly passionate about coding - someone who is always curious about what is possible with the latest features of our chosen frameworks and languages, and who would rather understand a system than just extend it.
As a Senior Web Application Developer, your impact is immediate. You will drive the design and implementation of the real estate applications at the center of our platform, working closely with the engineers who built the framework, the design patterns, and the back end of our software. You won't just close tickets; you will shape architecture, raise the bar in code review, and level up the engineers around you. Our team demonstrates and values technical thought leadership, and this is a role where that leadership is expected and rewarded.
We are a small but mighty team, which means the scope here is real. The decisions you make about structure, performance, and practice will still be visible in this codebase years from now. If the idea of working hard, learning new things every day, and being part of a nimble and savvy product team sounds appealing, we want to hear from you.
This is a hybrid position based in Denver, Colorado. Typical office hours are 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM; Monday and Thursday at home, Tuesday and Friday in the office, with Wednesday as scheduled weekly/monthly.
Why Join Settlor?
- Impact: Your work directly influences our customers' experience with our platform and our company and is foundational to our long-term growth and evolution.
- Culture: A collaborative, "no-ego" environment where we celebrate wins and learn from losses. We purposefully operate in a hybrid-office environment because we believe in the power of teams and relationships, and we have learned that both are best built and nurtured in-person.
- Growth: Often hard to find in the age of A.I. and constant turnover with software engineers, we invest in professional and personal growth as demonstrated by our high-retention of engineers who started their careers with us and have found little reason to look elsewhere.
- Customer-Centric: We build for the long haul by prioritizing solutions to real-world challenges for our customers. Your work ensures we evolve in lockstep with our users' needs, creating a product they truly love and trust.
- Technical Thought Leadership: Architecture and design patterns are discussed openly here, and senior engineers have a real seat at the table on technology selection.
