About the position
Pilot is a successful startup hiring a Staff Software Engineer. Our team is building products that solve meaningful problems for startups and small businesses every day: giving them real-time insights into the health of their business, giving them close control and visibility into their books, and providing tools for making strategic business and financial decisions that help them save or make money. Pilot's aim is to provide our customers with the same superpowers as large companies with full finance teams - superpowers that include having a deep understanding of financial health of the business, the machinery to constantly improve it, and the predictive abilities to thoughtfully plan for the future. We do this at a fraction of the cost a large company would pay for this, by delivering these capabilities through powerful software. Pilot's backend is written in fully typed Python 3.11, and our frontend is JavaScript, TypeScript, and Vue.js. We use Terraform to manage our production infrastructure, and deploy Docker containers to ECS. AWS CodeDeploy powers our deployments and we rely on Honeycomb for our monitoring and Postgres as our database.
