Senior Software Engineer
About The Position
ChartHop is an AI-powered people operations platform. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help build a configuration-driven integration system that makes it faster to connect HRIS, payroll, ATS, and other systems. You will also contribute to AI functionality across the ChartHop product and experiment with AI tools in your development work. The role involves designing, building, and maintaining integrations, APIs, and data pipelines, while owning work throughout the development lifecycle—from researching API documentation and planning through implementation, deployment, and monitoring. You will collaborate with product, customer success, and external partners, and help improve integration development tools, monitoring, and alerting. The back-end stack is primarily Kotlin and MongoDB, with TypeScript and React on the front end, AWS infrastructure, Valkey caching, and Anthropic AI models. Most of the work will be in Kotlin. The interview process includes a recruiter call, hiring manager screen, culture interview, take-home assessment, live technical review, product manager collaboration interview, and CTO leadership interview. ChartHop describes itself as an inclusive employer that values diversity.
