Product & Software Engineer

Volt is transforming the massive and rapidly growing communications platform industry ($400B). Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital investors, we are on an ambitious mission: To make leveraging communication infrastructure easy for software companies. Our work is to improve developer experience and lower total cost of ownership by building a fully managed messaging infrastructure stack, so that software teams can focus on building applications that delight users.

About the Role

Volt is hiring Product & Software Engineers to join our rapidly scaling product development team. As one of Volt’s early engineers, you will play a key role in the success of our team achieving our mission. You will be challenged to solve novel technical and DX challenges, work close to users on a product-minded team, and given freedom to contribute where you can create the greatest impact.

Technical Challenges

A few things you will experience:

• Work with a huge amount of data at scale and database tables with hundreds of millions of rows.
• Strong focus on users and product innovation — engineers are front-and-center in our product development and decision making processes. You will be directly involved in customer research, designing and implementing features, measuring product results, and iteration.
• Very agile but non-dogmatic development environment, deploying several times each day
• Develop solutions to novel technical and developer experience problems — we are building the first true platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for mobile messaging.

Where

We are remote-first. If you’re local, our office is open and available to you — we are based out of the One Technology Center in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma.

About us:

• We are a small, quickly growing team of relentlessly resourceful entrepreneurs and startup veterans.
• We are building a growth-oriented, inclusive, passionate team that learns while doing and challenges each other to accomplish extraordinary things.
• We believe in ownership and transparency. We all take responsibility, and no team member will ever need permission to make a difference for our team or for our users.

Requirements

If you don’t match all of these, don’t be discouraged from applying. We understand that learning new stacks and codebases are a part of joining any team.

• 4+ years of software engineering experience, preferably in a high growth startup environment
• A collaborative, pragmatic, user-focused mindset. We are a small but focused team and everyone must be aligned on our goals.
• Experience with performance and optimization problems, and an ability to resolve and prevent them
• Experience across the stack in production web and server codebases with sophisticated use of relational database systems
• The ability to build within unfamiliar systems and write maintainable, well-tested code
• The ability to thrive in a remote-first organization
• A desire to help build a strong, healthy engineering culture

Technologies We Use

• Languages: TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go (golang)
• Infrastructure + Tools: Postgres, Redis, AWS, Terraform, Docker, Git, React

Benefits

This will be a salaried position. Volt provides health, dental, vision, and life insurance at no extra cost to employees. The salary range for this position is $70,000 to $120,000 depending on experience in startups and software development, and a significant additional portion of compensation is equity in the form of stock options. In addition, we fly the whole team into Tulsa at the start of each quarter to collaborate and spend time together in person.
