Role
Who you are
- You've had a successful track record as a Senior or Mid Engineer in another company and can articulate and demonstrate your development over time
- You have a good understanding of API and contract design
- You can articulate how you hold yourself and others to high bars of technical excellence
- You can design and develop complex systems that scale
- You can write clean code and tests related to it and also advocate for this across the team
- You can give great examples of where you've been able to help engineering teams figure out the why, the what, and the how and that you're also able to do on problems of complexity and scale
- Experience building design systems would be an additional bonus!
What the job involves
- You’ll engage with customer feedback and translate learnings into product changes and improvements. You’ll ensure you focus on the most impactful areas and that work follows best practices and standards, delivering desired outcomes while balancing speed and quality
- Our Senior Engineers set a great example for the team. You’ll challenge and drive technical discussions on the team to help others align to the best possible decisions. Preferably you’ll use visual language (e.g. system diagrams) to paint your ideas and points of view
- You’ll raise the bar for our Engineering team by making solid arguments for relevant refactoring and improvements to our adopted processes and by producing system designs for implemented changes. You will own your own impact and support your other peers. You will contribute to the development of our engineers by reviewing code, pair programming, and helping them up-skill
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Many business processes have been made much simpler over the last 20 years. Payroll software, on the other hand, hasn't changed much. Running payroll still requires huge amounts of manual data entry, which leads to errors, lockdown periods and general frustration. Pento aims to change that by providing a SaaS-based online platform intended to optimize payroll services.
Its platform helps to automate payroll system and offer complementary features to employees, such as user-friendly access to pay history and personal pay-related data, enabling small and medium-sized companies to find a digital way to automate salary processing, taxes and is fully connected to HMRC. It operates a classic SaaS model, charging a monthly subscription per seat.
Typical Pento customers are companies with 1-150 employees, although the startup is also seeing quite a lot of demand from bigger companies too. It now boasts over 700 of these as customers. With enough recent funding, Pento is gearing up for significant improvements to its tech and expanding its team as needed in the next few years.
