Senior Software Engineer (Remote)

Hummingbird is a platform for managing anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing operations. We are motivated by the shared mission of fighting financial crime. Our work helps fight terrible crimes like human trafficking, political corruption, weapons sales, and drug cartels.

We are a customer-obsessed team. We love building and shipping great products. Our customers are financial crime fighters who are often drowning in paperwork and bureaucracy. We set a high bar for our work, challenge our assumptions, seek diverse opinions, and support each other to do great work.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

About the role

At Hummingbird, we want to build better software to fight financial crime. Our engineering team is responsible for making that a reality. They dive deep into the problems that make financial crime fighting so difficult and design flexible, scalable solutions that empower our customers to catch the bad guys. Our product sits at the intersection of financial technology, data science, security, policy, law enforcement, and design. As employees at a small startup, software engineers at Hummingbird have the opportunity to wear many hats and learn and grow across a multitude of dimensions.

Senior engineers are technology leaders on our engineering team. They take on large, ambitious, often ambiguous projects and drive them to completion. They coordinate the work of other members of the Hummingbird team, interact directly with customers, and act as examples to the rest of the team.

What you'll do

• Write code to fight financial crime: First and foremost, our software engineers use their skills to serve our shared mission. You'll build easy-to-use tools that help our customers analyze, investigate, and report financial data associated with potentially suspicious activities.
• Work with a small, passionate, and experienced team: We're a small team of mostly senior engineers and we love to do great work together. We're fully remote, but we make a strong effort to prioritize, design, and code collaboratively.
• Grapple with the challenges of working in a high security, high stakes environment: We work with some of the most sensitive data you can imagine and provide a critical service to our customers. Security, reliability, and correctness must always come first.
• Influence the product roadmap and strategy: Great ideas come from everywhere. Everyone on the team has a voice in strategy discussions, and is trusted to make significant decisions.
• Have the opportunity to grow into leadership: Hummingbird is growing rapidly. As we do, there will be opportunities for engineers to take on new roles in product, technology, or people leadership positions.
