Who You Are

Are you passionate about design and development? Do you have experience building, deploying, and maintaining large-scale, distributed applications? Are you ready to take your skills to the next level and join a team of innovative self-starters in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment?

As a Senior Software Engineer on Justworks’ International team in our Mexico City office, you will have the opportunity to take a product from “zero to one” by leveraging your aptitude for navigating ambiguity and your experience working within a service-oriented architecture. If you are someone who:

  • Has a founder’s mindset who enjoys building and scaling a team, setting standards, being a mentor
  • Places emphasis on a team finding the right answer ahead of any one person being the one who was right
  • Thinks in terms of outcomes rather than outputs
  • Avoids over-engineering solutions and appreciate how building software can be a means for learning, gaining insights, and ultimately solving problems that people actually have

We’d love to hear from you!

What You Will Work On

  • Collaborate with a tight-knit, cross-functional team to find solutions to customer challenges
  • Take ownership of building flexible, test-driven software that minimizes tech debt and enables change
  • Support, monitor, and maintain integrations with industry leading third-party platforms
  • Shape API driven services that are secure, compliant, and highly auditable
  • Enable an experience that is fully internationalized and localized for a global customer base
  • Promote engineering excellence through technical leadership, knowledge-sharing and mentorship
  • Enhance our testing, monitoring and continuous deployment infrastructure
  • Keep extremely sensitive data compartmentalized and secure
  • Perform other related duties as assigned

How You Will Do Your Work

As a Senior Software Engineer, how results are achieved is paramount for your success and ultimately result in our success as an organization. In this role, your foundational knowledge, skills, abilities and personal attributes are anchored in the following competencies:

  • Good judgment - the exercise of critical thinking, analyzing and assessing problems and implications, identifying patterns, making connections of underlying issues, understanding risks and developing mitigation strategies, and taking ownership of the outcome.
  • Resourcefulness - taking a can-do approach, even in the face of obstacles and constraints by assessing what’s in front of you and effectively and efficiently optimizing what you have, whether it's working on something new or thinking about how to do something better.
  • Teamwork and communication - putting our collective best together through documentation, collaboration, relationship-building, listening, empathy, recruiting, and evangelism.
  • Influence and leadership - fostering a community of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, mentorship, and forward-thinking.
  • Skills and knowledge - the capacity to actively learn and apply specific domain knowledge, know-how, and best practices to continually enhance and improve.

In addition, all Justworkers focus on aligning their behaviors to our core values known as COGIS. Read more about those values here.

  • Experience supporting other engineers and acting as a “tech lead”
  • Experience working using Agile/Scrum methodology in a fast-paced environment
