As a start-up, we’re moving fast, experiencing exciting growth that will lead to exciting developments in optimizing file privacy and security and you can be at the center of it.
Though we may be a quickly growing company, we value a work-life balance. We trust our team members will complete projects on schedule and can find support when needed.
While Inkit is opening doors, there’s no egos here—we’re all about teamwork.
Together, we’ll redefine document security.
Job Overview We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our team to architect, develop, and enhance our secure document generation platform. The ideal candidate will demonstrate technical leadership through innovative software design and implementation using Go, Python and TypeScript to deliver exceptional user experiences while maintaining the highest security standards.
About the Role This position will join our small but growing engineering team focused on building our core product offerings. The successful candidate will have significant autonomy in making software design decisions and implementing best practices throughout our application stack. As we prepare for commercial growth, this role is critical to ensuring our applications are well-architected, maintainable, and deliver exceptional value to our users.
We are particularly interested in candidates who demonstrate a deep understanding of software design principles, patterns, and practices, not just coding proficiency. The ideal candidate should have well-formed opinions about application architecture, API design, state management, and testing strategies, backed by real-world experience. We value team members who can articulate the "why" behind technical decisions and who approach software development as a craft that creates business value.
As a distributed team, we place high value on proactive communication, transparency, and a bias for action. Your ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly, mentor junior developers, and take initiative on impactful projects are essential qualities for success in our environment.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement scalable, maintainable application architectures across the full technology stack
Develop robust backend services and APIs using Go and Python with a focus on performance and security
Create responsive, intuitive frontend interfaces using React and TypeScript following modern best practices
Optimize application performance and resource utilization throughout the technology stack
Independently design, develop, and maintain high-performance web applications and APIs
Architect solutions for scalability and efficiency, ensuring robust backend systems and intuitive frontend interfaces
Technical Leadership
Lead complex feature development from conception through deployment
Make sound architectural decisions balancing technical excellence with business needs
Provide mentorship and code reviews to help junior developers grow their skills
Champion software quality through testing, documentation, and knowledge sharing
Manage deployment processes, handle complex troubleshooting, and ensure reliable system operations
Drive continuous improvement within the team through knowledge-sharing sessions
Collaborate with product managers to translate business requirements into technical solutions
Propose innovative approaches to solving user problems through software
Continuously research and evaluate new technologies that could benefit our platform
Participate in product planning to provide technical perspective on feasibility and approach
Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices
Quality & Best Practices
Implement comprehensive testing strategies including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
Establish and maintain coding standards and best practices for the engineering team
Design for security and privacy from the ground up in all application components
Create self-documenting code and technical documentation where appropriate
Conduct and participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and maintainability
Collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams to understand requirements and define timelines
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience)
5+ years experience in full-stack software development with demonstrated technical leadership, preferably in a startup
Strong proficiency in backend development using Go and/or Python
Advanced experience building frontend applications with React and TypeScript
Experience designing, building, and documenting RESTful APIs and microservices
Solid understanding of software design patterns, data structures, and algorithms
Production experience with Docker containerization and container orchestration
Experience running applications in production on AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, etc.)
Knowledge of relational database design and query optimization
Excellence in writing clean, maintainable, and well‑tested code
Strong communication skills and experience mentoring junior developers
Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast‑paced environment
A proactive attitude with a passion for mentoring and supporting the engineering organization
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.)
Experience building applications on top of AI/Large Language Models
Understanding of event‑driven architecture and message queues
Knowledge of accessibility standards and practices
Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
Benefits and Perks
Flexible work environment with options for remote work or at our offices
Comprehensive health benefits, including Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO) to support work‑life balance
Our Values
We Touch Reality
- Customers and their stories are not foreign. We actively seek out engagement with them, whether calling them on the phone, meeting through conferences, or listening to interactions with product/sales.
They Win, We Win
- Above all else, no other metric matters more to measuring our performance as an Engineering organization than Customers succeeding through our product. We build for them, not ourselves.
Bias for Action -
When you see a problem you can solve, fix it. We don't wait for someone else to tell you it's your job, we seize the initiative. For major architectural changes, features, or anything that affects other teams' work, we give people a heads up but don't wait for consensus to start exploring solutions.
Shared Ownership -
We all own the outcomes, not just our individual pieces. When something breaks, we focus on fixing the system together rather than finding who's at fault. Mistakes are inevitable, how we handle them as a team defines us.
Transparency First -
We emphasize keeping engineering discussions and topics in the public forum, not tucked away in DMs or private channels. Those spaces are specifically for conversations that cannot be had elsewhere.
Join Us Are you ready to help shape the future of secure DocGen? Apply now, and let's make a difference together!
Inkit is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
We value accessibility. Please email us at info@inkit.com for accommodations during the application and interviewing process.
