Senior/Staff Full Stack Software Engineer

Binti builds software for state and county government agencies, focusing on reinventing social services. We started in child welfare, with the mission of helping every child have a safe, loving, and stable family. To date, we've helped approve more than 100,000 families to foster or adopt, and we support over 46% of the nation's child welfare system. We have expanded our product offerings in child welfare, moving more to the root of the problem, helping families stay together and avoid separation, and are now expanding horizontally across other areas in social services.

Binti is a for-profit, mission-driven software company based in San Francisco, CA. Investors include Founders Fund, First Round Capital, Kapor Capital, and others. We're a team of ~90 people and growing quickly. We care about creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and can bring their full self to work. We have a huge, ambitious vision to rewire government to be more effective in expanding opportunities for people around the world, and we are looking for mission-driven, high-empathy, high-performance, and low-ego team members to join us on our exciting journey towards that vision.

Overview Of Role
We're looking for product oriented engineers who are skilled at leveraging AI both in their coding and in the products they build, and who are passionate about using technology to drive positive impact. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to take significant ownership of technical projects that will drive the success of the overall business. Strong candidates bring deep product and technical acumen, combined with the ability to move fast.

LOCATION
Binti is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Much of our team is local to the San Francisco Bay Area and works via a hybrid setup – in-person from the office on Monday & Thursday and remote otherwise. Satellite offices, like Seattle, Washington, set their own in-office days and hybrid policies, but in general employees are encouraged to join the leadership team on the days when they will be in the office for collaboration and team cohesion.
