SENIOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER

At SnekTech, we believe that having a solution to a problem doesn't mean it's the right solution, or even the right problem to work on. We focus on finding the right combination of big problems and elegant solutions to maximize the impact of our work. Our first product is a new way for fans to purchase unique digital art while also funding carbon-reduction efforts; it's an environmentally-friendly alternative to NFTs for artists who don't need the immutable ledger guarantees of blockchain.

​

Our software stack consists of a digital eCommerce website and a back-end workflow that includes payment processing, image processing, and cryptography. We use AWS and open source technologies, but we also have unique components with challenging problems. And we're planning for success: solutions must be easily scalable from zero to millions of users.

​

You'll help define standards in code, processes, and culture. You'll set an example for other engineers by working smart, estimating tasks accurately and setting realistic expectations. You'll deliver simple, scalable, and maintainable solutions that help the company succeed.
