Role
Who you are
- A hunger for building great software faster than ever using AI coding agents, along with an understanding of the pitfalls and how to avoid them
- A great knack for simple and elegant system design
- Deep expertise building and maintaining great web applications, especially in a B2B context
- Comfort with Javascript/Typescript, MySQL, React, Next.js, and AWS
- Extensive experience shipping agile software sustainably (Git, CI/CD, database migrations, logging & monitoring, infrastructure considerations, etc)
- A self-starter who thrives in a hands-off management environment — someone who takes ownership of their work with a “roll up your sleeves mentality”, is comfortable with ambiguity, proactively identifies problems and solutions, and drives their work forward with minimal oversight
- We’re a startup so we’re not just looking for someone to run a playbook. We want you to help build it
- Passion for what we’re building here at Ethena and a strong alignment with our core values (which includes an impeccable sense of humor)
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our engineering team! This role will report to our Engineering Manager, and will be responsible for building great products quickly with the power of AI-driven development, without sacrificing quality. They will be a key contributor to Ethena’s growing product surface area and engineering operations
- Develop full stack software using Typescript, MySQL, React, and Next.js
- Direct AI coding agent(s) to assist you in building great things quickly, while maintaining a production quality codebase
- Own features big and small from the idea phase through to production
- Collaborate with other engineers, designers, product managers, and members of the wider Ethena team
Our take
Ethena originally started as a training platform to prevent harassment at work, with its model driven by short, bite-sized “nudges” and flexible 5 minute training sessions rather than time consuming, and often ineffective seminars.
The company was quickly celebrated upon launch for its fresh take on deploying anti-harassment training. Leaning into the micro-learning method has proven popular as it makes training much more gamifiable, and far easier to digest, while it offers much less distraction from the daily workflow.
Ethena’s has won major customers in the form of Netflix, Figma, and Zendesk. Since receiving impressive 2022 funding, the company has expanded its focus to include a wider range of compliance training, from financial compliance to corruption prevention, to diversity & inclusion, all to meet the growing demand for its tight, user-friendly approach.
