Senior Staff Software Engineer (Remote)

Senior Staff Software Engineer | Workflow86 | Worldwide

Workflow86’s goal is to simplify the automation of business processes, making it accessible to everyone.

Our platform provides a workflow engine for orchestrating all kinds of business processes. But uniquely we allow our customers to jump between using natural language, and a no-code UI to create & edit those workflows. To achieve that, generative AI is at the very core of our system, not a bolt on.

We are looking for engineers that are eager to further their careers in a fast-paced start up environment, and can take ownership of customer results.

The Role:

As a Software Engineer at Workflow86, you will develop and operate our cloud application as part of our small cross-functional team. We are hiring two roles, and so are open to folk ranging from strong in frontend, with a willingness to learn a little backend, thru ‘typical’ Full Stack engineers, to backend engineers willing to learn some frontend.

The desired level for these roles is Senior plus ie. a independent technical contributor, that can take on bigger challenges, and improve the way we work. Typically people with those skills have more than 5 years experience, but we will happily hire folk with less experience with the right skills.

These roles are 100% Remote/WFH joining a team centered on the Australia/Sydney timezone (which means you need to be based somewhere between Southeast Asia and Hawaii). These roles are open to folks in Australia as direct employees, New Zealand as IR56 employees, and in other countries through a employer of record ie. Deel. Unfortunately we cannot provide visa sponsorship and you’ll need to have working rights wherever you are going to work from.

What We’re Looking For:

• Someone motivated, that will be pleasant to work with
• A high ownership, highly collaborative attitude
• High judgement, independence, and an ability to make intentional trade-offs
• A strong desire to produce great code, that drives a great application
• The ability to give, and take constructive feedback

Key Skills:

• Hands on experience developing Java microservices on AWS and/or React Web Applications
• Clear verbal & written communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to think strategically, and translate business objectives into solutions
• Bonus: Experience with non-trivial LLM based solutions

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, maintain, and operate high-quality back-end software applications
• Ensure the security, scalability, robustness, and responsiveness of our system
• Raise the quality bar through code reviews, discussion, and constructive feedback
• Write smart test automation from Unit to E2E
• Provide 24/7 support for critical production Incidents as part of a team roster
• Invest in team improvement, contributing to a culture of continuous learning, and combined success
• Contribute to or lead strategic discussions, solution design, and technology decisions
• Contribute fresh thinking on things like AI, development tools, product features, remote working, and engineering process

What We Offer:

• A competitive salary and equity package (weighted towards equity)
• Flexible working arrangements in a 100% WFH/remote team
• A friendly, supportive, open, no BS Australasian start-up work environment – no suits or toxicity
• Lots of opportunities to get stuck in, deliver results, and grow your career
• Hardly any meetings, no hierarchy, easy access to everyone in the team
• An opportunity to play a significant role in a venture-backed AI start-up at an early stage

Interview Process:

• Apply (~10 mins): Fill in our Application Form. This takes a little longer than firing off a CV, but has been quite successful in removing the screening calls we used to perform.
• 1st Interview (75 mins): Deep-dive whiteboard session into a API or system design problem
• 2nd interview (60 mins): A hands on, in IDE, coding exercise (not leet-code)
• Reference Checks: Two reference checks, including one from someone you reported to, and one from someone who you were senior to.

We strongly encourage applications from folk that don’t have every skill listed. Our current team consists of people with different strengths, and we think this is a good thing. Beyond that we will not discriminate on any protected class, any class that should be protected, whether you’ve got a gap in your employment history, been laid off etc.

As an AI company we know AI’s place, and its not evaluating applications, or running interviews. AI will not be involved in handling applications or interviews. We typically respond to applications within a business day.
