Paperless Post is seeking a software engineer to help build the systems that will allow our best-in-class digital events platform to scale beyond our current user base of over 100 million. As a member of our Software Action team, you’ll work across the entire stack in order to push both new and existing code to a state-of-the-art platform. You will develop and hone skills across a wide swathe of programming languages and paradigms and be an integral voice in solving major technical challenges across the organization.

The Software Action team is a highly focused engineering team dedicated to overcoming large technical challenges across a variety of software engineering disciplines. Examples of projects we’ve worked on include on-demand image rendering pipelines, porting production applications to Kubernetes and creating tooling to reimagine and greatly improve developer workflow within the wider engineering team.

Our team is entirely comprised of engineers who love working across the stack. The challenges we face can vary widely, which provides plenty of opportunity for learning and growth. We collaborate often in order to effectively overcome these challenges together. Members of our team are willing to dig in and debug any system necessary in order to understand how it works and what we can do to make it better.
