Justworks' mission is to help entrepreneurs and businesses grow with confidence.
Role
Who you are
- As a successful candidate, you have demonstrated the ability to build, deploy and maintain large-scale, distributed applications
- You have worked within a service-oriented architecture and know how to separate data and functionality as necessary
- You’ve worked on multiple codebases. You’ve experienced both the paralyzing nature of a completely greenfield project and the head scratching frustration of legacy systems you’ve inherited
- You’ve experienced a handful of different ways to work as a Product Team and enjoy tinkering with the way your team gets work done
- You feel passionately about enabling your teammates to be successful regardless of their role or seniority
- You care more about building a high quality product than you do about clever technical implementations
- You feel comfortable working across the technical stack even though you wouldn’t consider yourself a “full stack engineer.”
- You love to take complex problems and solve them in simple, obvious, and generic ways
- We really can’t say this enough: you love teams and how we treat each other and how it feels to be on a team
What the job involves
- Collaborate with a cross functional team to improve and scale the frameworks our other engineers build on top of
- Add capabilities to our high-volume, fault-tolerant processing infrastructure
- Take ownership of designing and developing core application functionality
- Implement internal services
- Enhance our testing, monitoring and continuous deployment infrastructure
- Keep extremely sensitive data compartmentalized and secure
- Perform other related duties as assigned
Our take
Justworks operates in an increasingly crowded space of all-in-one business operation suites, that include tools like human resources, payroll, employee management, benefits, and others that businesses critically need to operate as they scale.
Globally, human resource management has become an extremely fertile field, worth over $20 billion annually and predicted to grow to over $50 billion annually by 2030 - creating great opportunity for Justworks to continue to grow. The company is regarded as a market leader, but does see competition in the shape of Paychex Flex, Rippling, Paylocity, and TriNet, among others.
Solutions delivered by Justworks have proven to be extremely popular with SMEs, and this has not gone unnoticed by investors, with the company picking up exceptional amounts of funding. Justworks is known to have sights on going public, though action towards this end has been delayed until global mass-market conditions have settled from a period of volatility. However, the company's 2024 acquisition of the international employment-of-record (EOR) company Via is a promising sign of it's continued strength.
