Senior Backend Engineer (Go)

Rundoo’s mission is to build cutting-edge software that helps building materials suppliers enhance their businesses. Think of your local hardware store or mom and pop shop—these are our clients who we partner with across the country. From paint to hardware to flooring, stores across these industries sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We’re aiming to change by being the first in the industry to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology.

Backed by leading investors including Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $18M across three rounds and are growing quickly. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.

• You'll make significant individual contributions that get used instantly & heavily by our clients who depend on our software to run their businesses.

• You'll leverage your orthogonal expertise to introduce abstractions and systems that improve the team's velocity.

• You'll raise the bar for engineering quality by setting and enforcing standards.

• You'll mentor teammates to help them grow as architects & engineers.

• You'll work closely with product & design teammates and our clients to collectively define what we're building.
