What are the opportunities for a Software Engineer at Gearset?
- Our small engineering teams start from a few core principles but evolve over time. They all work a little bit differently, depending on their preferences and the problem they're working on. You’ll impact what we build, as well as how we build it.
- A great team does their best work with context and feedback - there’s no substitute for talking directly with the people impacted by our work. Engineers work across the business and talk directly to customers and partners, to ensure we're solving the most pressing problems.
- Our tech stack includes C#, React, TypeScript, Postgres, AWS and Kubernetes. You’ll become familiar with our pragmatically chosen stack, but you’ll also help us define what great looks like.
- You'll have access to leading LLMs and AI development tools to support your work, with a collaborative culture and dedicated internal channels for sharing AI tips and tricks to help everyone grow.
What you'll achieve
- Enhance and extend existing features, and collaborate with the rest of the development team to spec, design and build new features end-to-end.
- Share your expertise and learn from a diverse team, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous growth.
- Engage directly with users—understanding their challenges, gathering feedback, and shaping features that truly make a difference.
- Contribute opinions on a range of topics, from development practices to product strategy and roadmap, to impact business decisions.

Salary and benefits (the stuff you’d expect!)
