Software Engineer

Layer is looking for a Software Engineer to join our team. You will work with a small team on a web application designed for Architects, Construction, and Building Operations professionals to manage building data across the entire lifecycle of a building.

As a Software Engineer, you will be doing front-end and back-end web development in JavaScript (TypeScript) using modern web technologies. You will be on a small development team working to continuously improve our product for our users. Layer is a progressive web application designed to work on most desktop & mobile devices. We regularly ship new features to production and we want you to make an immediate impact.

Learn more about who we are and what we do.

We're Looking For

• Experience - 1 to 3+ years in modern JavaScript web development. You will be working in Angular, React, Node.js, and a number of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services including Firebase. Bonus points if you have GCP or Firebase experience, but this is not a requirement.

• Problem Solvers - we want you to be passionate about solving problems for our users (more on that below). We move fast, break things, and work closely with our users to build a better product.

• Owners - we're a small team, which means you will be taking ownership of your work throughout the development process.

We Are

• Focused - we are extremely protective of your time. You'll spend more time building and less time in meetings.

• Balanced - no nights and no weekends. We have a minimum vacation policy of 3 weeks per year, and if you aren't taking enough vacation we'll be bugging you about it.

• Relaxed - we work hard, but don't take ourselves too seriously. Our engineering team is based in Lincoln, Nebraska, with most of us split our time in the office and home about 50/50.

Some Examples

To give you a taste of the work we do (and to very humbly brag about our awesome team), here's some work we're really proud of:

• Drag and drop PDF Report builder

• Export project data into a template and reuse it across any project in a user's organization

• A native Barcode Scanner plugin for iOS that integrates with our progressive web app

• The Layer API

• A full project data sync (client first) using Replicache

Compensation & Benefits

We offer a competitive compensation package (with equity) that includes benefits like remote working, flexible schedule, unlimited vacation, 401k matching, health/dental/vision, professional development stipend, team lunches in office on Tuesdays, and more.

Location

Hybrid - Lincoln area with two days a week (Tuesday and Thursday, typically) in our Lincoln office and the rest remote.
