Fishbowl is hiring a Senior Software Engineer. This leadership position will be primarily focused on the Frontend contributing to the design, development and maintenance of our SaaS products for inventory/warehouse management and commerce. This role is critical to Fishbowl's success as it directly impacts the quality and functionality of software solutions that thousands of businesses rely on for their day-to-day operations. By joining our team, you will be an essential part of our mission to provide top-notch software, service, and support to our growing customer base.

You be spending the majority of your time on our (primarily) Angular-based applications; directly involved in the architecture, design, development and delivery of the frontend of our next-generation SaaS products. That said, this role will also be involved with several React projects that we have in our portfolio. Recognizing that things don’t run on the frontend alone, we do appreciate those with full-stack chops as we interact daily with our platform team. The platform is done in Java/Spring sitting in docker containers. All this runs in AWS so there’s a healthy dose of EC2, EKS, ECS and S3 thrown in for good measure. Gitlab, along with Jira, forms the basis of our pipeline.

The team is collaborative, innovative, and focused on delivering high-quality software solutions. We operate in an Agile framework, encouraging team members to share ideas and solutions in daily stand-ups and periodic sprint reviews. The Senior Software Engineer will report to the Director of Engineering, who is deeply committed to mentoring and professional development.

This role offers a hybrid work model. While we have a fully equipped office that you are welcome to use, we also appreciate the need for work-life balance and offer the flexibility to work remotely. We focus on results, not where those results are achieved. Therefore, you have the freedom to choose the work setting that makes you the most productive.

It's a small team and we’ve created a great culture, love working together and enjoy the work.

Responsibilities

• Develop a full-stack web application used by our customers to fulfill orders, manage inventory, and track cost and revenue.
• Perform hands-on software development in an agile environment, including writing code and unit tests, developing proofs of concept, and conducting code reviews.
• Work closely with product managers, UX and other full stack developers to implement innovative solutions to challenging web application problems.
• Contribute to system design and architecture, development best practices, testing, debugging, documentation, and support.
• Set coding standards and best practices for the team, and serve as a mentor in writing modular, clean, and testable code.
• Lead, mentor, coach, help set direction. Certainly we need people that can code but we also need folks that are thoughtful, dedicated to good process/design and want to elevate the entire team.
• Serve as the technical expert within the team, translating complex business requirements into robust, scalable, and effective technical solutions.
