You will work directly with the CTO and CEO, driving technical designs and direction with a focus on delightful UX. Responsibilities include implementing backend and mobile changes, balancing technical debt with engineering best practices, and embracing ownership and potential failure.

Founding Engineers will be directly working with our CTO **and** CEO. At Roame, technology, and design are the first principles on which our company is built where focus on delightful UX is the priority. As a Roame founding engineer, ownership comes first, you will drive technical designs and direction of our company. This is the **best opportunity** for fintech/**travel-obsessed** engineers to create a major lasting impact on the way that we as **humans** travel.

### Responsibilities:
Regardless of Role, the founding engineer will work closely with everyone on the team to implement backend/mobile changes based on company goals. We are design and technology first, we work backward from our goals (much like Apple), so balancing technical debt and engineering best practices is key. Being comfortable with **ownership + failure** is very important to us.

### **Qualifications**:

BS+ in Science/Engineering (CS, EECS, Math, Physics)
2+ years of experience as an engineer (0-1 experience is great, but we want to see production experience);

**Mobile**: NextJS, Swift, iOS, Solito, Expo (we haven't decided on a stack yet, you will decide, but frontend + mobile proficiency is a plus)

### **Benefits**:
- Competitive salary and equity as an early member of our engineering team.
- Full benefits package, including premium healthcare coverage for you.
- Dogfooding our own product (we're Travel/Fintech, so use your imagination)
- (Good) Dog-friendly office
