Software Engineer

About Rundoo

Our mission is to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology. Think of your local hardware store or mom-and-pop nursery-these are our clients. From paint to lumber to flooring, over 200,000 such stores across the country sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We're aiming to help them modernize so that they can continue to thrive.

Backed by leading investors including Battery, Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $48M across four rounds and are growing quickly: We're live in over 500 stores across the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean, and integrated with over 20 industry partners. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.
About the role

You'll be based out of our Redwood City office and work in person with the rest of our engineering team. As a Software Engineer , you'll ship features end-to-end across our stack: a Go backend, a TypeScript/React web app, and React Native mobile apps. Your work goes directly to the supply-store owners and staff who run their businesses on Rundoo every day.

You'll report to one of our engineering leads and work in a small pod of about 4-5 engineers. You'll own clearly-scoped projects from start to rollout, get deep in the part of the product your pod owns, and build your system and product intuition with mentorship from senior engineers through pairing and code review. It's a good fit for someone 1-3 years into their career.

What you'll do as a Software Engineer at Rundoo

• Ship features end-to-end , from the proto and backend logic to the web and mobile UI
• Own small, clearly-scoped projects (typically 1-3 weeks) with limited direction, from scoping through rollout
• Go deep in your pod's part of the product so you can fix arbitrary bugs and add new features with confidence
• Align with PM and tech lead on what you're building and why, and write tickets clear enough for another engineer to pick up
• Talk to clients directly , calling stores to research how they work and to get their feedback on what you've shipped
• Write design docs for your features and reason about how your work interacts with adjacent systems
• Review teammates' code and act on the feedback you get , keeping our codebase readable and maintainable
• Spot broken team processes and fix them , automating manual work where it speeds up delivery
