As a Senior Backend Engineer at OpenPhone, you will spend the majority of your time coding, architecting, and owning moderate to complex components.

About the Role:
The engineering team is made up of about 30 people, most of whom work in one of two small cross-functional teams with a third team emerging. These teams contain all the back-end and front-end talent to deliver exciting new capabilities. You will be collaborating with product managers, QA, front-end engineers, and back-end engineers.
Our engineering teams work in two-week cycles and are committed to remote, agile development. We have invested heavily in local Docker development and cloud-based continuous integration and delivery so you can get set up fast and your development branch can be easily tested on environments that closely match production.
You’ll work autonomously and we trust you to get work done when/where you can be productive. You are both comfortable working autonomously and collaborating with other team members. You will maintain and improve standards and best practices.
