Breaking into high-impact fintech infrastructure, Anrok’s early career software engineering roles offer a rare blend of strong compensation, ownership, and exposure to complex global tax/payment systems. With base salaries ranging from $165K to $250K, these positions are designed for candidates who want to work on deeply technical challenges—like automating sales tax compliance for SaaS companies—while collaborating with experienced engineers in fast-scaling environments across San Francisco, New York, and Salt Lake City.
As a Software Engineer, you will collaborate with coworkers to deeply understand customer needs, design thoughtful systems that solve real-world problems, and build best-in-class product experiences. Our stack is TypeScript (frontend and backend), Postgres, and React, but prior experience is not required.
In this role, you will
Own the scoping, design, and development of product features.
Identify and fix bugs and technical debt.
Collaborate with Support to address technical issues for customers
What excites us
You have an undergraduate degree and 1+ years of fulltime experience.
Experience with frontend development is a plus, but not required.
You think through problems thoroughly to ensure we’re building the right solution to the right problem at the right time, and you will push back when necessary.
Your designs take into account current and future needs, technical debt, and maintenance, and you can clearly articulate the tradeoffs.
You level up the people around you by sharing your knowledge and experience.
