What We Are Looking For:

Let’s face it… People read text messages, more than any other medium, which is why we are the fastest growing segment in Bandwidth.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Developer who will lead by example in designing and developing world-class, highly scalable, cloud based applications that allow customers to provision, send, receive, and track billions of messages.

What You'll Do:

• Develop, deliver and support highly scalable, cloud based applications


• Be a senior member of a software development team, and a leading voice in your team’s design and implementation efforts. 


• Contribute to solutions from start to finish, collaborating across teams to iteratively ship value.


• Work with a team of developers with experience with distributed microservices.


• Work closely with product managers to create solutions that deliver the power to communicate.


• Look critically at what we’re building and how we’re building it


• Play a critical role in establishing and maintaining the infrastructure of our production and development environments

What You Need:

You are the right candidate if…

• You are passionate about your craft of building services with programming languages including Java and similar languages


• You have experience with AWS or another cloud platform, and you “get” how scalable cloud applications are engineered


• You enjoy solving complex problems at scale, and working closely with stakeholders to continually improve the customer experience and application reliability


• You are consistently innovating while actively reducing the complexity and increasing scalability and security across the software you develop


• You have a history of leading by example through your design and implementation


• You have extensive experience thoroughly and deeply reviewing code


• You have understanding of fundamental design principles for building a scalable application


• You know IP networking, web protocols, and REST


• You’re passionate about writing testable code, and your test automation proves it


• You have a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience


• While years of experience is an imperfect measure, you’ve probably been a software engineer for 6 years


• You enjoy mentoring others

Bonus Points:

• You have experience with scale and performance optimization.


• You have experience with relational and non-relational database systems.

The Whole Person Promise:

At Bandwidth, we’re pretty proud of our corporate culture, which is rooted in our “Whole Person Promise.” We promise all employees that they can have meaningful work AND a full life, and we provide a work environment geared toward enriching your body, mind, and spirit. How do we do that? Well…

• 100% company-paid Medical, Vision, & Dental coverage for you and your family with low deductibles and low out-of-pocket expenses.


• All new hires receive four weeks of PTO.


• PTO Embargo. When you take time off (of any kind!) you’re embargoed from working. Bandmates and managers are not allowed to interrupt your PTO – not even with email.


• Additional PTO can be earned throughout the year through volunteer hours and Bandwidth challenges.


• “Mahalo moments” program grants additional time off for life’s most important moments like graduations, buying a first home, getting married, wedding anniversaries (every five years), and the birth of a grandchild.


• 90-Minute Workout Lunches and unlimited meetings with our very own nutritionist.

Are you excited about the position and its responsibilities, but not sure if you’re 100% qualified? Do you feel you can work to help us crush the mission? If you answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions, we encourage you to apply! You won’t want to miss the opportunity to be a part of the BAND.
