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

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.
