Full Stack Engineer - Latin America

The wholesale distribution industry is ready for a revolution, and Proton is leading the charge. The world relies on distributors to sell nearly every physical product, but despite its massive contribution to the global economy, this industry has been left behind in terms of technology. Proton is changing that. With AI-powered sales software, we’re breaking through the complexity of selling millions of products and making it easier for distributors to anticipate customer needs. Our mission is to bring the distribution industry into the modern age and the results speak for themselves. Distributors using Proton see 10x ROI, faster new hire ramp-up, and happier sales teams.

In 2022, we raised a $20M Series A backed by Felicis Ventures (investors in Twitch, Shopify, Opendoor, and many others) and Battery Ventures. This year, we’re laser-focused on driving customer growth. If you’re excited about the opportunity to wear multiple hats, and continuously learn and experiment, now’s the time to join the Proton team. 

We're looking for a product-minded Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our product engineering teams. In this role, you'll help define and ship end-to-end features that enhance our CRM platform for distributors. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you'll be responsible for owning features across our entire stack. You'll work closely with product managers, designers and other engineers to create robust, scalable solutions.

The target salary range for this role is $60,000 - $90,000.  Final offers will be based on your skills and previous experience. Proton collaborates with Oyster HR to hire international employees as full time (long term) contractors within our company. 

This role will be fully remote and based in Latin America.  For collaboration purposes, all hires based in Europe or India are expected to be available for meetings from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST (Eastern Standard Time). Candidates located in Latin America are expected to work standard EST business hours on a daily basis.

What you'll do

• Own development for key features — from writing and refining tickets to deployment and monitoring.
• Collaborate closely with PMs, designers, and engineers in a squad model to scope, build, and iterate on features.
• Write engineering tickets for technical tasks, bug fixes, or improvements, and contribute in agile ceremonies (backlog refinement, sprint planning, retros).
• Participate in 2-week sprint cycles, including daily standups, and collaborative reviews.
• Work with TypeScript and share patterns and best practices with your team.
• Work with databases and design efficient data storage patterns
• Ensure high performance, reliability, and scalability of the features you build
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices

You'll be a great fit for this role if you have:

• Strong full stack engineering skills: You have at least 6 years of experience as a software engineer with proven ability to work across the entire stack (frontend, backend, databases). 
• Database expertise: You're experienced with designing efficient data structures and storage patterns in SQL. You understand how to optimize schemas, queries, and indexing for performance.
• Startup mindset: You're pragmatic, nimble, and have a good record of shipping features, iterating fast, and working closely with users and PMs
• Strong software engineering skills: You have a proven track record of writing and deploying quality code at a senior level
• Problem-solving skills: You enjoy tackling difficult problems and can understand and take action on complex ideas quickly
• Independence: You take ownership of your work and thrive when given creative freedom. You like to experiment with new concepts and learn from mistakes
• Agility: You can adapt to new and interesting challenges in a fast-paced startup environment
• Team spirit: You recognize when you need support and are quick to support others when they need the same
• Communication skills: You can explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Other skills that we value:

• Prior startup experience is required

• Competitive Salaries + Company Stock Options - we want to pay you well (and equitably!) and make you feel like an owner.  
• Flexible Schedule - we think high levels of autonomy, responsibility and working asynchronously foster an amazing workplace.
• Unlimited PTO + 10 Company Paid Holidays - we even have tools implemented to detect burnout to make sure folks recharge regularly.
• 12 Weeks Fully Paid Parental Leave - that goes for primary and secondary caregivers; even if you’re adopting or fostering!
• Biannual Company Paid off-sites - time for us to be together, brainstorm, and make magic happen.
