About the role

As one of the first Senior Software Engineers at Elba, you will end up wearing many hats and having meaningful impact.

You will comfortably go up and down the stack; from writing backend and frontend code, running AWS infrastructure, to implementing whatever necessary tool or process we don’t yet have.

It doesn’t matter what languages and tools you know when you join us, but it does matter that you can write clean, effective code and be excited by learning new languages and tools.
Our software is constantly evolving, so we need engineers who can do the same!

You know how to :

• Use SSR to optimise page rendering
• Interact with a GraphQL API using Apollo
• Write node.js handlers for custom logic
• Test (Jest / testing-library)

Our current stack is based on Typescript :

• React Frontend (Next.js on Vercel, TailwindCSS)
• GraphQL API Layer (Hasura)
• Node.js for custom logic (Serverless Functions on Vercel)
• We use a monorepo strategy, leveraging typescript across the board together with GraphQL to interact with our data in a type-safe way from everywhere 😎
• We use Github Actions for CI/CD
• React Testing Library, Jest, Playwright for testing

About you

• You care deeply about customer needs, the problems they face, and therefore the products we’re building to solve them.
• You’re excited by our mission and the vision of empowering employees with the cybersecurity tools they need.
• You are able to, or want to be able to, work at every level of the stack. We believe this to be the strongest indicator of extraordinary engineers.
• You’re excited by the ambiguity of being one of the first employees in an early-stage company.
• You care deeply about your growth and the rate at which you grow. The success of our company is a function of the people in our team. Your growth rate will be directly causal to Elba’s growth rate. We spend a lot of time thinking about each other’s success paths.
• You get excited about learning new things, writing blog posts and going to conferences to talk about all things product and engineering.
