Senior Software Engineer

About Us
Circle is building the all-in-one community platform for creators and brands: think "Shopify for creator/brand-led communities". We make it really easy to bring people, discussions, live streams, content, events and payments together — all in one place, all under a personalized brand.

In November 2021, Circle raised $25M (Series A) to accelerate the way we help creators and brands interact with their customers, their partners, and their community.

Circle is a 100% remote company! We now have a team of about 100 (and growing) based in different countries all around the world.

About the role
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Rails/React) to join our CMS engineering team. At Circle, our CMS team is responsible for the core user-facing areas of our product — including community discussions, courses, the Home feed, our automated weekly digests, search, and more. This is a high leverage role with the opportunity to make an immense amount of impact for thousands of Circle communities and millions of members.


What you'll be doing

 
Work on our CMS team to build out the best content consumption and management experience for our communities.
 
Improve the quality of our codebase, identify architectural deficiencies, and create achievable paths to solve/evolve them in payments-adjacent areas.
 
Engage in considerate, but robust, PR reviews with Circle's engineers.
 
Work closely with Circle's co-founders and designers throughout the feature spec + design process.


What you'll need to be successful

 
Significant full-stack experience working with the React and Ruby on Rails stack.
 
Knowledge of Elasticsearch.
 
Strong judgment and attention to detail when it comes to architectural, product, design, and process decisions. Your judgement should inspire a high level of trust within the team.
 
Great communication skills which empower async work across the team.
 
A desire to work in an environment that values speed of iteration and individual autonomy.
