Button’s mission is to build a better internet, fueled by commerce. Today, we work with some of the largest and most interesting businesses in the world to connect consumers with what they want at the tap of a button. We build with the consumer experience in mind, have a reputation for paving the future of mobile, and have a good time doing it.

As a Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack, you’ll design and build the services, APIs, frameworks, and UIs that power Button’s core products. Our systems sit at the foundation of commerce experiences used by millions of users, and our front-end platforms enable both partners and internal teams to activate and understand those experiences.

You will lead the development of new user interfaces and full-stack features that advance our ambitious product goals. You’ll work across modern web technologies, with a strong emphasis on React and TypeScript, and partner with backend engineers to deliver fast, intuitive, and reliable user-facing applications. You’ll be a key contributor to shaping our engineering and technical culture, driving design reviews, and mentoring members of our team.

Our Engineering team values a fast-moving and high-trust environment that affords each member the opportunity to develop expertise operating full-stack systems at scale. You’ll compose solutions from a broad range of technologies, including React, TypeScript, Go, NodeJS, Docker, and AWS ECS. You’ll also move fast; we ship changes to production dozens of times each day.

As a Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack, You Will:

  • Develop intuitive, performant user interfaces using React and TypeScript, alongside scalable APIs and backend services.
  • Collaborate with a cross-functional team to develop new features within our core platforms.

  • Deliver the full-stack functionality that enables Button’s largest partners to launch and monitor commerce programs.
  • Maintain a “mystery-free” production environment and keep the pagers quiet by implementing excellent monitoring, anticipating and planning for the unexpected.

  • A strong understanding of web development fundamentals, including component architecture, state management, accessibility, and performance.
  • An excellent understanding of API design, and experience designing reliable interfaces for use across systems and teams.
  • Experience coding in JavaScript/TypeScript (React, NodeJS), with additional experience in Go or Python a plus.
  • Experience and comfort in a production environment. You’ll be working in a “magic-free” service-oriented environment, using AWS ECS, Docker, and modern observability tooling.
