About the role:

Commenda is rapidly adding new lines of business and expanding into more countries. In the last month, we shipped US sales tax, Canadian incorporation, and an app for our partner accountants to manage workflows. You'll be helping us grow.

Commenda is a compound startup - we have multiple related lines of business that share the same core technology. We're looking for a senior backend or full-stack software engineer who can help us build core components that can be reused across all of our products and applications.

Your work may include:

Contributing to CommendaOS, our system of record for corporation data. Writing clean APIs that can be used by product-focused engineering teams, identifying and adding missing pieces of our data model and building them out, and making sure queries perform well at scale
Extending our legal rules engine, which applies structured rules to corporation data from CommendaOS to determine which legal requirements apply to a corporation.
Owning core features that are shared across many products, such as onboarding, chat, or document management

Tech Stack:

Frontend: React, typescript, next.js

Backend: Nest.js, node, typescript, prisma, postgres.

This role is in-person, in Bangalore or San Francisco. We work in-office daily Monday through Friday.

Requirements

Required qualifications:

5+ years writing code professionally
Experience designing data models and building web backends. Willingness to pitch in on frontend when necessary, but no experience required
No specific programming language background required! We believe that great engineers can ramp up quickly

Bonus qualifications:

Direct experience with relevant product domains like payroll, cap table management, accounting, or tax compliance
Experienced designing and building APIs that were used by internal or external teams
Some experience with devops
Previous experience working with international teams

While no college degree is preferred, exceptional candidates with diplomas will receive consideration for this role.
