Founding Software Engineer
Ryvn
About the Role
As a Founding Software Engineer at Ryvn, you'll design and build distributed systems that transform how organizations deploy and manage software at scale. You'll work across the stack — from core platform services and APIs to performance optimization and developer experience — owning problems end-to-end and shipping code that runs in production environments across healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.
You'll work side-by-side with the founders to shape Ryvn's technical architecture, product roadmap, and engineering culture. This is a rare opportunity to join early, build foundational systems from first principles, and help define the DNA of a company reimagining how software reaches the world.
What You'll Do
Build at scale: Design, build, and maintain highly available systems that orchestrate software deployment across hundreds of production environments
Shape the foundation: Work directly with the founding team to define Ryvn's technical direction and architecture
Solve and streamline: Identify inefficiencies and design elegant solutions — with the autonomy to ship fast and keep our technology ahead of the curve
Own complex systems: Debug performance issues across distributed systems, from backend services to production infrastructure
Balance tradeoffs: Navigate engineering decisions thoughtfully — balancing short-term velocity with long-term scalability and impact
What We're Looking For
3+ years of software development experience: Ideally including time at a small, high-growth company
Full-stack fluency: Comfortable working across web frameworks, APIs, and databases in multiple programming languages
Strong technical judgment: Able to make pragmatic, well-reasoned tradeoffs to drive projects forward
Ownership mindset: You take initiative, see problems through, and care deeply about the systems you build
Life at Ryvn
Fully in-person team in NYC
Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
Unlimited PTO and sick leave
Annual professional development stipend
Company-paid lunch, dinner, and coffee
