About The Role
Hipcamp is looking for a full-time remote Senior Software Engineer to join our growing team. We’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of product thinking, engineering execution, and real-world impact. This is a hands-on role for product-focused engineers who enjoy owning outcomes end-to-end—from shaping product requirements to shipping and iterating on user-facing features in production. You’ll work across the stack and collaborate closely with business, product, design, and data partners to build software that directly impacts customers and the business.
We value engineers with strong systems thinking, clear communication, and good engineering judgment—especially in how they use modern tools, including AI, to increase leverage while maintaining quality and accountability.
What You'll Do
- Ship end-to-end product features: from idea and scoping through implementation, launch, and iteration.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (Product, Design, Data, and other stakeholders) to turn real user needs into pragmatic solutions.
- Build and maintain production systems with a strong focus on readability, maintainability, and operational reliability.
- Review code as a teammate, providing clear, constructive feedback that improves quality and reduces risk.
- Pair program and collaborate on solutions, balancing speed with long-term technical health.
- Leverage AI tools intentionally (copilots, assistants, refactoring tools, etc.) to accelerate development while maintaining ownership and judgment.
- Make tradeoffs explicit, communicate reasoning clearly, and adapt solutions as requirements evolve.
- Tie engineering work to impact, using metrics and outcomes—not just delivery—as a measure of success.
About You
- 3+ years of product engineering experience: Building and shipping user-facing features end-to-end, with a highly independent mindset of ownership through launch, iteration, and ongoing maintenance in a real production environment.
- Full-stack systems fluency: Strong proficiency in at least one primary language and comfort working across frontend, native mobile, backend, APIs, and data flows in a challenging and rewarding environment.
- Code quality & collaboration: Experience working in a shared production codebase, writing clear, maintainable code and contributing high-signal pull request reviews that improve quality and reduce risk.
- Problem solving under ambiguity: Ability to break down loosely defined product problems, clarify requirements, make tradeoffs, and deliver incrementally without over-engineering.
- Leveraging AI: Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate implementation and debugging, paired with sound judgment, verification, and personal ownership of outcomes.
