About The Position

Maybern is transforming the way private fund managers effectively manage their funds through cutting edge technology. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help drive the evolution of our platform. The Platform Team provides core components for the rest of the Maybern engineering team to build on top of, including foundational data modeling, integration testing, and release tooling. We aim to create simple, reliable interfaces for complex systems to enable our engineers to move quickly yet safely, so our product teams can focus on delivering value for our customers. The right candidate's north star is developer productivity: you design, build, and rigorously test solutions so that product teams can stay focused on customer features while the complexities of scalability, performance, and fault‑tolerance are handled transparently by the platform.

Requirements

Comfortable working across server-side languages and frameworks; we’re tech-agnostic in interviews, and use Python and Django in practice.
4+ years of software engineering experience, including meaningful exposure to cloud infrastructure, platform systems, or developer-facing tools.
Experience monitoring cloud applications, responding to incidents, and improving production reliability and observability.
Understand relational databases, transactions, distributed systems, and the tradeoffs involved in building reliable services.
Can take broad guidance, scope ambiguous work, and independently drive complex projects forward while collaborating closely across the organization.

Nice To Haves

Developer Experience Mindset. On our Platform team, you will shape the internal tools and services that let product engineers move fast without tripping over infrastructure details. You understand how to turn engineering needs into opinionated, self‑service platforms that are reliable, observable, and easy to extend.
Collaborative. You collaborate well across teams, can distill and incorporate feedback, and communicate clearly and concisely
Leader. You're eager to shape our technical foundation and will level up team practices and processes. You can take broad guidance and determine the best path forward. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are comfortable wearing multiple hats
Strategic. You see both the forest and the trees: think big picture, execute fine details. You can plan for the long term while navigating short-term tradeoffs
AI-Forward. You’re excited about applying AI where it creates real leverage for engineers. You can build and own AI-enabled developer tools, internal workflows, and automated engineering processes.
Early-stage startup experience is a plus.
