Software Engineer II / Senior Software Engineer

Role Description

In this role, you’ll build end-to-end product features that make it easier for engineers to ship and operate software, with significant depth on the frontend — combining customer-facing UI/API work with improvements to workflows, reliability, and the day-to-day internal developer experience.

• Ship customer-facing product features primarily for our AWS-based PaaS across our stack, which includes: Ruby on Rails backend systems, a web app (React-TypeScript), a Terraform client (Go), and a CLI client (Ruby), and more.
• Take technical ownership of our React-TypeScript web app — setting the direction for how we hone and maintain the frontend, including how we harness AI to move faster.
• Work closely with Product and Design to clarify requirements, make tradeoffs, and deliver in small, high-quality increments.
• Partner with Design to define and build a shared component library that enables consistent, high-quality UI across the product.
• Improve developer experience, including internal tooling, local development workflows, and the path from code to production.
• Contribute to reliability and operability improvements, including CI/CD, release processes, observability, and incident response tooling.
• Participate in the on-call rotation, and help drive follow-ups that reduce repeat incidents and make the system easier to operate.
• Partner with our customer-facing engineering team to investigate customer issues and deliver fixes or improvements when needed.
• Use AI tools to improve your development workflow and velocity.

Qualifications

• You have experience shipping production software as a fullstack engineer, with significant strength in frontend engineering (targeting Senior I to Staff). Developer tools experience is a plus.
• You communicate extremely well — you are clear, effective, and proactive in your communication, both speaking and in writing.

Requirements

• You have strong software engineering fundamentals and coding ability, and comfort working across a fullstack codebase.
• You are a prolific and thoughtful developer in at least one mainstream language, and can pick up new languages/frameworks quickly.
• You have particular depth of knowledge in React and the modern frontend ecosystem, including component architecture, state management, performance optimization, and accessibility.
• You are comfortable building developer-facing interfaces and workflows, not just backend services.
• You are comfortable working in cloud infrastructure or distributed systems.
• You are comfortable thinking through security, privacy, and compliance implications as part of feature work.

Benefits

• Aptible has been around for over a decade with a real product and real customers who depend on it.
• We are a small, tight-knit team doing meaningful work in a complex system.
• Genuine ownership to drive lasting impact: the kind where our work shapes the whole product, not just a corner of it.
• A supportive team that genuinely cares about the work, the customers, and each other.

Interview Process

• Introduction to Aptible with the Hiring Manager.
