Software Engineer

StackWave's mission is to accelerate life-saving scientific discoveries by equipping scientists and engineers in the life sciences with powerful and intuitive tools.

We are a small engineering-driven company with a track record of success and poised for significant growth. Founder-owned and founder-run, we are focused on building reliable, well-designed, and easy-to-use software that our customers love. We work with big and small companies, and every customer engagement is a unique engineering challenge. This is a complex and dynamic field that demands constant and continuous self-education and personal growth, and that’s what we love about it.

As a member of our engineering team, you will be part of a tight-knit group of people working remotely from Boston, Houston, and Portland, ME. We're building a company where people are equipped to do their best work, so we encourage flexible hours and telecommuting. We are also an agile team and have embraced agile principles across our engineering practices.

As a Software Engineer, you will be principally responsible for adding features to web-based software applications. We face new and varied engineering challenges every day, and so your work will range up and down our software stack and across different application areas and engineering concerns. Your responsibilities will include participation in code reviews and technical designs.

To succeed in this role, you should be able to learn quickly, work cooperatively, and operate independently. As a distributed team whose members manage their own schedules, you must manage your time effectively and have a strong intrinsic motivation for the work that you do. Professionally, experience working across the software stack developing data-driven software in an enterprise environment is critical.
