At Justworks, you’ll enjoy a welcoming and casual environment, great benefits, wellness program offerings, company retreats, and the ability to interact with and learn from leaders in the startup community. We work hard and care about our most prized asset - our people.
We’re helping businesses get off the ground by enabling them to focus on running their business. We solve HR issues. We’re data-driven and never stop iterating. If you’d like to work in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment, are interested in building something meaningful and having fun while doing it, we’d love to hear from you.
We're united by shared goals and shared motivations at Justworks. These are best summed up in our company values, which are reflected in our product and in our team.
If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.
Are you passionate about system design and development? Do you have experience building, deploying, and maintaining large-scale, distributed applications? Are you ready to take your skills to the next level and join a team of innovative self-starters in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment?
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be leveraging your experience working within a service-oriented architecture. You will be responsible for separating data and functionality as necessary, and will demonstrate an understanding and use of automated testing as a productivity multiplier. You are eager to learn and passionate about improvement. You want to understand how systems work, and you think about how to make them work even better. You will work closely with product managers, designers and other engineers to scope, design, and build new features and functionality. You will be working primarily on backend systems. We’re currently using Ruby on Rails as our main language, but prior experience in RoR is not a requirement.
As a Senior Software Engineer for Time Lifecycle, you'll be responsible for unifying time tracking, time off, leave management, shift scheduling, and project tracking across PEO, ASO, and EOR into a single system, replacing three fragmented legacy platforms. At the core of this work is building a compliance engine that automatically handles overtime, labor law, and pay rules across 50+ jurisdictions, while bringing leave management to life with native leave state, payroll pause, and proration support. The work also opens new verticals for Justworks by shipping the shift scheduling and project tracking capabilities that manufacturing, healthcare, and education customers require as table stakes. Ultimately, this role owns the full pipeline from time entry to time payable — meaning the code you write directly determines whether thousands of workers are paid correctly every pay period.
As a Senior Software Engineer, how results are achieved is paramount for your success and ultimately result in our success as an organization. In this role, your foundational knowledge, skills, abilities and personal attributes are anchored in the following competencies:
