Software Engineer at Cocoon

We are on a mission to transform the complex and often frustrating world of employee leave. Dealing with parental, medical, or bereavement leave currently involves navigating a maze of government paperwork and insurance claims during a time when people are already feeling overwhelmed. We have spoken with countless employees and employers who shared their difficult experiences, and we are determined to remove that friction entirely. By acting as a dedicated advocate for those navigating these processes, we are building a product that turns a stressful administrative burden into a surprisingly delightful experience. We are moving quickly, and we would love for you to join us in building the future of leave.

What is this role?

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team on a full-time, remote basis. This is a foundational role where you will help shape our product and company culture from the ground up. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to take on significant ownership as we scale.

What will you do?

• Work across the entire stack to build and iterate on our core product, utilizing TypeScript, React, Next.js, GraphQL, Node.js, Express, Postgres, and AWS.
• Collaborate directly with customers and team members across various functions, including design, sales, and legal, to define our product roadmap and solve complex problems.
• Help establish our foundational engineering practices, operating values, and team structure as we grow into a mature organization.

What makes you a great fit?

You are an experienced engineer who excels at leading large-scope projects and building robust, scalable infrastructure. You possess a high level of craftsmanship and pay close attention to detail, whether you are perfecting a user-facing flow or refining code abstractions. You know how to balance the need for speed with the necessity of thoughtful, long-term planning. We value candidates who are intellectually curious and enjoy debating ideas from first principles without ego. Because you will be an early member of our team, you should care deeply about the product we are building and the culture we are creating together. Proficiency in English is required for this role.

What's in it for you?

We offer a competitive salary range of $135,000 to $170,000, along with the following benefits:

• Remote work flexibility.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Unlimited vacation policy.
• Equity compensation to ensure you share in our success.
• Support for your growth through a professional development budget.
