About the role
What is SeekOut?
SeekOut helps thousands of organizations hire, grow, and retain great talent with its people-first talent optimization platform and proven expertise in diverse and hard-to-find talent. In our digital age, organizations are overflowing with data—yet few deeply understand their employees because people data is siloed and disconnected.

SeekOut unifies talent acquisition, talent management, and talent analytics to help you grow the people you have and find the people you need. Six of the top 10 most valuable companies in the United States trust SeekOut as their single platform for managing and recruiting talent.
SeekOut is recognized on Forbes’ list of America’s Best Startup Employers, Deloitte’s Fast 500, and the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies. In 2021, SeekOut was crowned GeekWire Startup of the Year.

What are we looking to add to our team?
As a senior engineer, you will be taking responsibility for services and broad feature categories contributing to multiple products to advance the success of our products. You will have ample opportunity to drive design, technologies, and features to bring a better experience to our customers, and you will be creating and defining the path for an early-stage product that still needs a great deal of innovation.
What you will be doing
- Senior engineers in a startup environment get the chance to convert broader visions into workable actions and drive features to completion, working in concert with product, UI designers, and various other teams that may provide APIs upon which their service or features will depend.
- Our senior engineers become subject matter experts who then provide guidance to others in their team and across the company, and our environment is so dynamic that the entire engineering organization works together to provide a stronger product experience across the company.
You will be a great match if you have
- 6-10 years of Software Engineering experience across multiple complete software development lifecycles
- At least 3 years of experience working with JavaScript and modern frameworks such as React or Vue
- Experience working with NodeJS and with databases, either noSQL or SQL
- Experience building production infrastructure with Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Familiarity with durable entities would be a bonus
- Familiarity with AWS lambda, AWS Step Lambdas, or Azure functions would be a plus
- Experience designing and building APIs for highly scalable, high availability architectures
- Experience with object-oriented programming in a production environment
- Bachelors or Masters’ degree in Computer Science
