Position Overview

Gearset is the leading DevOps platform for Salesforce, enabling users to build and manage various aspects of their Salesforce development, from complex CI/CD pipelines to disaster recovery. Our platform is a standalone tool that integrates with Salesforce via public APIs. While our engineering team does not develop within the Salesforce environment, we work closely with domain experts to create innovative solutions for the unique challenges faced by our users, allowing them to make their Salesforce changes quickly and safely.

We embody this approach by releasing new versions of Gearset multiple times a day and continuously investing in our observability and infrastructure tools, enabling us to identify and react to issues rapidly and deliver improvements to our users as fast as possible. As a product-driven company founded by engineers, we value a strong engineering culture, teamwork, and tight feedback loops. We are confident in our product, market potential, and have ambitious plans for the future.

Opportunities for a Senior Software Engineer

Our small engineering teams are guided by core principles that evolve over time. Each team operates slightly differently based on preferences and the problems they are solving. You will have a significant impact on what we build and how we build it.

We believe that great teams thrive on context and feedback. Engineers collaborate across the business, engaging directly with customers and partners to ensure we are addressing the most pressing problems.

Our tech stack includes C#, React, TypeScript, Postgres, AWS, and Kubernetes. You will become familiar with our pragmatically chosen stack and help define what great looks like.

What You'll Achieve

  • Share your expertise and learn from a diverse team, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous growth.
  • Engage directly with users to understand their challenges, gather feedback, and shape features that make a real difference.
  • Play a key role in shaping development best practices, driving technical excellence, and influencing the future of our product and roadmap.

About You

  • A pragmatic approach to work, prioritizing iteration and delivering value to customers over process and deliberation.
  • Previous experience as a full-stack engineer, including experience working directly with customers.
  • A passion for learning and continuous improvement, with comfort in giving and receiving constructive feedback.
  • You can read more about our engineering values here.

Great to Haves

  • Familiarity with C#/.NET, JavaScript/TypeScript, and React.
  • Expertise with an OOP language (e.g., Java, C++) and a modern JS framework (e.g., Angular, Vue.js).
  • Proficiency in working on a distributed, cloud-hosted product with rapid release cycles.
  • Experience working in an agile development team, delivering incremental small slices, and adapting to meet user needs.

We believe that diverse teams perform better. If your experience doesn't fit perfectly or you don't meet every single requirement but are excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.

Salary and Benefits
