Senior Backend Engineer

DX helps companies build world-class engineering organizations by providing leaders with insights into developer experience and productivity. DX is bootstrapped, profitable, and consistently growing revenue more than 3x year over year. We’re headquartered in Salt Lake City with customers like Indeed, Etsy, Dropbox, Twilio, Pfizer, and Vanguard.

About the role

We are looking for a backend engineer who can be proficient across our tech stack that includes Rails and Postgres. You’ll deliver features with a high degree of independence, collaborating directly with customers on product discovery and support.

Our engineering team is extremely small and we aim to keep it that way. This means that each person on our team carries significant weight and responsibility, and must ship a lot. In return, we have great compensation, zero bureaucracy, little to no meetings, and the opportunity to immensely impact the business each day.

Our team is mostly based out of Salt Lake City, so candidates must have at least 5-hours of overlap with Mountain Time zone. We also appreciate candidates who live in Utah or are interested in relocating (most of our team members are transplants).

What makes a great fit

• You are task-oriented and thrive off getting stuff done, day in and day out. You love knocking out checklists at a fast pace.

• Your output and work ethic consistently exceeds that of your peers and you want to work on a team where others match your level.

• You’re accustomed to carrying a lot of weight, e.g., being the first to jump on a bug, going the extra mile to get something done today vs tomorrow, or proactively helping with projects that aren’t your own.

• You’re a generalist, with depth in certain areas like design, database optimization, front-end development, or infrastructure.

• You feel comfortable directly communicating with customers and writing tactful support emails.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth startup
• 401k with 4% match
• Unlimited PTO
• Fully covered medical insurance
