Senior Software Engineer (Python, React)

Better Software is a product development studio that partners with entrepreneurs and enterprises to launch new initiatives. Many of these products evolve into large-scale systems, and we act as long-term engineering partners behind them.

We are looking for Senior Software Engineers who can work directly with founders, operate with high autonomy, and build products from scratch. This role sets a far higher bar than typical engineering positions. You are expected to work with :

1. Extreme Ownership  This is not a typical “take a ticket and implement it” role. You will :

Build entire products end-to-end, not just individual features.

Drive clarity in requirements by working closely with product managers, designers, and founders.

Make technical and architectural decisions with a long-term view.

2. Extreme Velocity  The only luxury early-stage products don’t have is time. You’re expected to :

Ship usable versions fast.

Remove blockers proactively.

Be comfortable working in rapid build–test–iterate cycles.

3. Excellent Code Quality  Most of the products we build go on to scale. You must :

Write clean, modular, OOP-driven code following SOLID principles.

Never ship features without automated tests.

Maintain ERDs, schemas, and documentation rigorously.

Treat code reviews as a craft, not a chore.

4. Final Gatekeeper of Releases  You are the last line of defence before anything ships. You are expected to :

Personally use and test new features before release.

Ensure nothing goes live without passing functional and qualitative checks.

5. AI-Powered Engineering (Non-Negotiable)  We operate with an AI-first engineering model. This means :

You must know how to use tools like Claude Agents, GitHub Copilot / Codex, and other AI systems to accelerate development.

This is not copy-paste ChatGPT coding.

You are expected to coach AI tools, review their output, ensure clean maintainable code, and verify all changes before merging.

Simply said, without AI-assisted development, you cannot meet the velocity expectations of this role.

6. Tech Stack  You will primarily build using :

Backend : Python (Flask / FastAPI)

Frontend : React, React Native using Typescript

Perks & Benefits :

Work remotely from anywhere, enjoying flexibility and no commute.

Comprehensive health insurance covering family members, with 24 / 7 remote doctor access.

Generous PTO (12 paid, 6 sick days) plus holidays and paid parental leave.

Fully funded annual team trips.

Lead new initiatives and solve real challenges to enhance your career.

Join a supportive, results-oriented team focused on learning and growth.
