Description For Senior Software engineer, Founding team

Aviator is revolutionizing engineering productivity with their suite of developer tools. As a YC-backed startup founded by ex-Googlers, they're building automation tools that streamline necessary but mundane developer workflows for high-profile customers like Slack, Square, Benchling, and Figma.

The role offers a unique opportunity to join as a founding team member, working directly with the founders to shape both product and company direction. You'll be instrumental in building tools that solve real engineering challenges, with the potential to impact developer productivity across the industry.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll collaborate closely with users to understand their needs, build prototypes and production solutions, and drive product initiatives. The ideal candidate brings 6+ years of experience, having shipped full-stack products and possessing strong communication skills. Experience with internal engineering tools is a plus.

The position offers competitive compensation ($160K-$200K), comprehensive benefits, and the chance to work in a transparent, founder-led environment. You'll be joining a well-funded company with significant enterprise revenue and backing from notable Silicon Valley investors.

What makes this role special is the combination of technical challenge and direct impact. You'll be solving problems that engineers face daily while helping build a product that's already proven valuable to major tech companies. The flat structure and close collaboration with founders ensure your voice will be heard and your work will directly influence the company's success.
