About The Position

Hi, we’re CompanyCam. We’re a simple-to-use photo documentation and productivity app for contractors of all commercial and home services industries. Packed with intuitive functionality, CompanyCam facilitates unparalleled communication and accountability across a contractor’s entire business. We’re committed to providing a consumer-grade, game-changing experience that helps our users build trust within their company and with their customers. But don’t let that corporate description fool you—the people behind our buttoned-up product are laid-back (but hardworking), genuine, and kickass, and you could be one of them! The Role We’re looking for an experienced, thoughtful, and impact-driven Staff Software Engineer (Ruby/Rails) on the Integrations team, to provide technical leadership across CompanyCam’s engineering organization. As a Staff Software Engineer, your impact goes well beyond a single team. You’ll work across teams and initiatives, partnering with engineers, product managers, designers, and engineering leadership to solve complex, cross-cutting problems that move the business forward. While you’ll continue to contribute directly to code, your primary focus will be on technical direction, architectural decision-making, mentorship, and raising the bar for how we build software. Most importantly, you’ll play a key role in evolving our engineering culture, practices, and systems as we scale — helping us make better decisions, reduce risk, and invest wisely in our platform, developer experience, and people. Working At CompanyCam Our engineering team is remote-first, spanning every time zone in the United States. We welcome people from all backgrounds and really don't care whether or not you have a CS degree or even a high school diploma. All that matters is that you're not an ahole and you're good at what you do. At CompanyCam we’re driven to produce work with meaningful outcomes. That means not just dumping features and “improvements” but being able to reflect and learn from our outputs. We’re actively working to center our work on continuous discovery habits (CDH) as outlined by Teresa Torres. Our teams are made up of a product manager, a product designer, a tech lead and an appropriate number of engineers for the scope of your team. Rather than being overly prescriptive, we provide guardrails and just enough constraints to keep teams moving. Each team is expected to collaborate, iterate, and refine their best practices to produce high-quality work.

Requirements

Show up: Have the courage to do difficult but necessary work.
Grow up: Take ownership, learn continuously, and bring a growth mindset.
Do good: Treat your teammates and customers the way you'd want to be treated.
Extensive professional experience building and leading software systems (typically 15+ years, but we value impact over years).
Advanced proficiency in Ruby on Rails and backend system design.
Proficiency in React/React Native.
Strong understanding of full-stack architecture, monolithic application patterns, and scalable backend systems.
Experience designing and operating systems using PostgreSQL and REST APIs in production environments.
Familiarity with cloud-hosted infrastructure, including AWS.
Strong independent judgment and ability to navigate complex, ambiguous problems.
Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly and empathetically to a wide range of audiences.
Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical decisions across teams.
You live and work permanently in the U.S. (We’re not set up to hire outside the U.S.).

Identify, forecast, and mitigate technical and operational risk across the business.
Create clarity around technical decisions, trade-offs, and direction in ambiguous or high-impact situations.
Set and uphold high standards for code quality, security, privacy, observability, and documentation through direct contribution, review, and mentorship.

Sponsor and explore new ideas, tools, and technologies that improve developer experience, team effectiveness, and product outcomes.
