About minware

minware provides development observability software that helps engineering organizations gain full visibility into their software development process to improve predictability, efficiency, and more.

Kevin Borders founded minware after bootstrapping his previous company to $86m in revenue and selling in 2021, with the idea of helping others benefit from lessons learned growing an engineering team from 0 to 40.

minware is a self-funded seed-stage company. After promising initial customer traction, we are looking for people who share our values to help bring minware to a larger audience.

The Role

As an early engineer, you will have the unique opportunity to work directly with minware’s founders to build the product from the ground up. We are looking for someone who enjoys designing, developing, and maintaining back-end applications.

We are seeking an ambitious and nice engineer who has experience independently executing complex projects and building scalable, maintainable software. As a purveyor of developer productivity analytics, we are diligent about process efficiency and code quality. Though we are small, we try to avoid unnecessarily creating technical debt and are looking for someone who can lead us toward this goal.

Work closely with product managers and customers to define minware’s capabilities
Design and architect new system components
Manage a backlog of tech debt reduction and internal efficiency improvements

Qualifications

Experience building and maintaining a complex back end application
Familiarity with principles of high-quality code, including continuous integration, declarative and functional programming
Strong communication skills for interfacing with non-technical stakeholders and occasionally with customers
Well-versed in agile or lean planning and project management processes
Experience with the core stack (Postgres, Next.js, Apollo GraphQL) or similar technologies is preferred
Proficiency with infrastructure (AWS, Terraform) is optional, but nice to have

Benefits and Perks

Competitive base salary, bonus, and seed-stage equity compensation
100% remote work, flexible hours, and unlimited vacation policy. (Read here about how we built trust in our previous all-remote company.)
Full health care premium coverage for you and your family
