[Remote] Senior Software Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. YipitData is a market research and analytics firm that uses proprietary technology and alternative data to deliver strategic intelligence to investment funds and Fortune 500 companies. The Senior Software Engineer will own production-grade features and systems across multiple product surfaces, working across the full stack and infrastructure. The role also involves driving cross-team initiatives, partnering with stakeholders, and using AI coding tools to improve development velocity and quality.

Responsibilities

• Own features and systems end-to-end across multiple product surfaces — architecture, implementation, deployment, and iteration
• Design systems that are clean, maintainable, and built to scale — you know how software should be structured
• Work directly with stakeholders across engineering, product, data, revenue, and customers to translate business problems into shipped software
• Drive initiatives across teams — you're not waiting for a PM to write a spec; you're in the room shaping what gets built and why
• Use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a daily force multiplier — for implementation, code review, testing, documentation, and exploration
• Operate across the full stack: backend services, frontend applications, data pipelines, and infrastructure
• Make pragmatic technical decisions that balance speed, quality, and maintainability in a fast-moving environment
• Raise the bar for the engineering team through code quality, tooling improvements, and knowledge sharing

Skills

• You have 4+ years of hands-on software development experience with a proven track record of shipping customer-facing applications — and the impact to show for it
• You are stack-flexible: comfortable working across Python, TypeScript/React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Databricks). You learn new tools fast and don't let unfamiliar tech slow you down
• You have an AI-accelerated workflow — you actively use AI coding tools to ship faster, not as an experiment, but as how you work every day
• You thrive in ambiguity — you can take a vague business problem, break it down, and deliver a working solution without heavy-handed direction
• You are a strong communicator who can work directly with non-technical stakeholders, translate between business needs and engineering tradeoffs, and drive alignment
• You are responsive and reliable — you take ownership of production systems and communicate proactively, especially under pressure
• You have a bias toward action and ownership — you see a problem, you fix it; you see an opportunity, you ship it
• You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline
• This role may be performed fully remotely within the United States. Please note that for this position, we are not able to consider candidates who currently or in the future will require visa sponsorship
