Software Engineer, Product
: Job Details :

The Role

Pilot is a successful startup, and we're hiring generalist software engineers for our product teams. All of our teams have unique charters to collectively build the software, services, and systems that enable Pilot to deliver a high-quality experience, profitably, at scale. From the Banking Universe — teams that ingest, normalize, transform, and categorize customer financial data to the Business Universe — teams that ingest our customer revenue and expense information and produce accurate, automated accounting: all of our teams have exciting missions and ambitious roadmaps.

Pilot's aim is to provide our customers with the same superpowers as large companies with full finance teams — superpowers that include having a deep understanding of financial health of the business, the machinery to constantly improve it, and the predictive abilities to thoughtfully plan for the future. We do this at a fraction of the cost a large company would pay for this, by delivering these capabilities through powerful software.

Pilot's backend is written in fully typed Python 3.11, and our frontend is JavaScript, TypeScript, and Vue.js. We use Terraform to manage our production infrastructure, and deploy Docker containers to ECS. AWS CodeDeploy powers our deployments and we rely on Honeycomb for our monitoring and Postgres as our database.

Key Responsibilities

• Building, testing, and deploying software in a continuous manner (we deploy daily or more often).
• Creating and contributing to technical specs and testing/rollout plans.
• Working with internal customers and stakeholders to ensure we're solving the right problems.
• Collaborating with your teammates in pursuit of your own and the project's goals.
• Supporting your software and services as required.

About You

Even if you don't have experience with the specific technologies in our stack, we'd love to talk to you! Our requirements are:

• 2+ years of experience as a software engineer
• Experience with Python in production is a plus
• Able to work collaboratively across functions
• Strong written, verbal, and technical communication skills
• Able to write well-structured, well-tested, and maintainable code

Additionally, we're interested in engineers with specialties or backgrounds in accounting, fintech, and/or data pipelines — these are not required, but a bonus.
