Job Description
Senior Backend Software Engineer – Contractor
Thrive Global
• Own and evolve the enterprise platform end-to-end — responsible for both sustaining engineering (reliability, scalability, technical debt) and net-new feature development • Independently scope and deliver medium-to-large projects — take an ambiguous problem, break it into well-sized workstreams, sequence the work, and drive it to completion • Partner closely with Product and stakeholders — translate business requirements into technical plans, surface trade-offs early, and keep cross-functional partners informed throughout delivery • Support reliability and incident response — provide on-call and incident support during US working hours
Job Requirements

- Strong full-stack in TypeScript, with experience balancing sustaining engineering (reliability, scalability, technical debt) and net-new feature development
- Experience building and supporting B2B / enterprise-facing software
- Comfort partnering directly with Product and non-technical stakeholders to translate requirements into technical plans
- Experience with on-call rotations and incident response
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage plus a 401(k) program with company match
- Generous paid time-off programs designed to help you rest, reset, and recharge — including Thrive Time
