Senior Platform Software Engineer

• Tabs is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Platform team, reporting to the engineering leader who owns platform and infrastructure

• Your customers are the engineers around you

• The work is measured by a single question: can the rest of engineering ship faster because of what you built?

• Platform at Tabs is deliberately understated

• We are the first and last line of defense — the layer that makes deploys boring, failures legible, and the path from commit to production short

• What you’ll experience is real leverage: every improvement you make compounds across every team

• You’ll own the foundation every other engineer builds on: build systems, CI/CD, infrastructure, developer tooling, dev containers, and the API infrastructure and standards teams build against

• A lot of this work lives outside any product roadmap

• It’s ours to define, and we set the bar for the rest of engineering

• You’ll also help shape what’s next, like the internal platform-as-a-service we’re planning to build

• All of it supports a product that runs the contract-to-cash lifecycle for high-growth companies, where reliability is measured in real money

• We move on two-week cycles, and the platform keeps up

• We work hard. Two-week sprints, weekly ship goals, short feedback cycles. Built around intra-month product releases

• We work smart. Get in front of the other engineering teams, use both data and customer feedback to drive decisions, while keeping the bigger picture in mind

• We work together. In-office culture with people you want to work with. Lots of whiteboard space. Expense coffee, lunch, and dinner when in the office

• Own platform and infrastructure work that shortens the path from an engineer’s commit to production

• Build and evolve the build systems, CI/CD, and developer tooling the whole engineering team relies on every day

• Improve observability and operational tooling so problems surface early and are cheap to diagnose

• Make hard tradeoffs on behalf of the wider engineering org, and explain the reasoning behind them

• Partner with product engineering teams to find out what’s actually slowing them down, then go fix it

• Write production-quality code and automation across the stack, not just at the infrastructure layer

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO: You decide when and how long to take time off

• Fully paid health insurance: Fully paid medical, dntal, and vision insurance

• Complimentary meals: Free lunch and dinner in the office

• Parental leave: Generous paid leave to new parents

• Commuter benefits: Tax-free commuter benefits

• Regular team events: We work hard and play hard- You get genuine satisfaction from solving other engineers’ problems

• You make pragmatic calls under constraint and can defend them

• Startup experience is a must — you’ve owned broad surface area at a company moving through a growth stage, not one narrow specialty on a large, heavily staffed team

• Fluency in TypeScript, Python, or a similar modern language, with the judgment to write code others will maintain

• You’d rather build the thing nobody notices than the thing everyone sees

• You dive deep instead of handing off, and you finish what you pick up

• You have no ego about it — this team operates as a team

• Strong hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and build tooling

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience

• Strong foundation in computer science and coding

• Experience operating production systems and reasoning about failure modes
