Senior Software Engineer (Web)

TRUCE builds contextual mobile device management solutions, and we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer for the web team. This person will be a senior member of the team and will be responsible for architecting, building complex features, and providing technical guidance to other developers on the team.

An ideal candidate would be someone who loves to learn, takes pride in delivering a quality product, and likes to move fast. This position is also a good fit for a solid technical developer who wants to influence architecture and design decisions and mentor other developers.

Our web applications are built using the LAMP stack and hosted on AWS, but we are looking to move closer to a SPA-style application.

The interview process will require writing code in addition to the technical interview. AI or LLMs will not be allowed during the interview, to get a clearer view of your knowledge & abilities.

• Prioritize and work independently on several projects with minimal oversight.
• Understand business requirements, create specs, and break down tasks.
• Review code developed by other developers to identify defects & quality issues, and sign-off on code before delivering to QA.
• Develop more involved aspects of the applications such as performance-sensitive features, security-related features, and high-complexity features.
• Deploy code to production and monitor production servers for issues.

Must-Have:

• 8 years of development experience with at least 5 years in web development.
• Excellent knowledge of Javascript/Typescript, jQuery, and CSS.
• Excellent knowledge of one server-side language (e.g., Ruby, PHP, C#, Java).
• Proficient in SQL and at least one relational database (e.g., MySQL, Postgres, SQL Server).
• Proficient in Linux and managing production web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx).
• Working knowledge of Linux/UNIX command-line tools (e.g., grep, find, lsof, vim, perl, awk, sed).
• Knowledge of newer JS frameworks such as React or Vue.js.

Good to Have:

• Experience in leading web development projects, and reviewing work done by other developers.
• Experience in maintaining and deploying public-facing web applications.
• Familiar with PHP best practices and frameworks (e.g., composer, Laravel, PSR, Dependency Injection).
• Experience with Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure.
• BS in Computer Science (or equivalent) from an accredited 4-year university.
