About Us:

Tired of the same old corporate grind? At Consensus, we’re not just another SaaS company—we're a dynamic team on a mission to change how buyers buy and how sellers sell. Your unique perspective isn’t just welcomed; it’s essential. We empower you to bring your authentic self to work and fuel your passion for innovation.

Our values aren’t just words on a wall—they’re the heartbeat of our culture. We want you to show up, ready to contribute and grow. Embrace the idea that perfection isn’t the goal; it’s about putting your name on something that’s a “version one” and owning the journey.

With our Product Experience Platform, we’re changing the game with tools like product tours, video demos, and product simulations that accelerate deal closures and create engaging buyer experiences. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and contribute to a transformative journey in enterprise software, we want you on our team.

The Team:

Engineering at Consensus is where collaboration meets innovation. We operate with transparency and foster a blameless culture—mistakes aren’t something to hide; they’re fuel for growth. Solving real customer challenges is at the heart of everything we do, and we believe the best software comes from engineers who think like product owners. Here, your ideas matter, your work drives impact, and every line of code makes a difference.

About the Role:

If you are a top-notch software engineer who wants to help lead a team of passionate, driven people, then this position might be a good fit for you. This position will be responsible for helping Consensus meet aggressive scale and platform growth challenges. You will use some of the best technologies available and will have an opportunity to shape the architectural future of a fast-growing, industry-leading company.

What You’ll Do:

  • Apply your PHP/Java skills to maintain and improve existing APIs
  • Reverse-engineer mission-critical backend services in order to implement the equivalent services in Java following a reference architecture
  • Work with product managers to flush out requirements and create balanced delivery iterations.
  • Design analytics systems from client contracts down to the database structure.
  • Create unit tests and work with both manual and automated QA to ensure new features and services work as expected.
  • Improve the existing codebase to have better and higher quality test coverage.
  • Collaborate with architects and DevOps to improve overall system design.
  • Contribute to our architectural roadmap to ensure we have a scalable, performant, maintainable, and secure application.
  • Mentor and coach less experienced engineers in best practices and established patterns.
  • Debug production systems as needed.
  • Improve the system through better alerting, monitoring, and logging.
  • Avoid and remove technical debt in our systems.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.
  • 4+ years of related experience with backend engineering.
  • 2+ years of experience with PHP 7.x
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with Spring/Spring Boot.
  • 2+ years of experience working with cloud technologies such as AWS.
  • Expert level understanding of Java 1.8+
