About the job
About Layer
In the past ten years, a dynamic ecosystem of software tools tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) has flourished, assisting them in managing various aspects of their operations. From payments to payroll, businesses have seen significant advancements; however, accounting solutions have not kept pace. Many small business owners continue to grapple with disjointed, generic accounting software and the high costs of bookkeepers.
At Layer, we are revolutionizing accounting software and bookkeeping by integrating them into the everyday tools that SMBs rely on. Our platform empowers software companies to swiftly deploy modern accounting solutions and bookkeeping services to their SMB clientele, eliminating reliance on outdated accounting systems or costly bookkeepers.
The Role
We are seeking engineers who aspire to build not just a superior product but also a thriving team and company culture. This requires a blend of broad technical expertise across our technology stack, alongside less common skills such as:
Thinking innovatively from foundational principles while aligning with customer needs.
Demonstrating curiosity about both technical and business challenges.
Skillfully managing competing priorities and trade-offs in relation to company goals.
Exhibiting a strong sense of ownership over product and team decisions.
Fostering a supportive environment that enhances the strengths of team members.
We believe that exceptional early-stage engineers often possess some common experiences, such as:
2+ years of experience with dynamic software teams.
Experience navigating the ups and downs of developing new products from inception.
A proven track record of leadership growth within teams.
That said, we deeply value individuals who take the initiative to tackle problems and pursue opportunities they are passionate about, so we welcome those who may not fit the exact profile to reach out.
Our Tech Stack
We do not prioritize candidates based solely on their familiarity with our technology stack. One of the advantages of hiring exceptional engineers is our confidence in their ability to adapt quickly, with support from the team. However, we want every candidate to be excited about the tools and environment they will encounter on day one.
