Seattle, WA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/27/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/26/2025

Role

If you would like to know a bit more about this opportunity, or are considering applying, then please read the following job information.

Regrello is seeking a Principal System Software Engineer who knows the ins and outs of building backends for web applications, has shipped major projects or entire products, and can reason fluently about scaling issues, data modeling, API design, distributed systems, authentication, integrations, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps a backend running smoothly. In this role, you will work closely with our senior engineers, junior engineers, and product team to design, develop, maintain, and scale backend Go / Postgres / Redis / GraphQL application code across the Regrello platform. You will drive projects, lead and participate in design discussions, communicate directly with customers, effect real change in an industry that is enthusiastically rooting for us, and help empower the rest of our team to do their best work as well. This will initially be an Individual Contributor role, but people management is an option depending on your interest and performance.

Company

Regrello is a 40-person startup reimagining automation in supply chains, in which companies still communicate about $13T of annual shipments almost entirely via email. This is a $220-billion, Amazon-sized market opportunity that’s been largely overlooked for over 20 years. Our team has experience building billion-dollar companies and includes veterans from Oracle, Palantir, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. Our customers include some of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world. We're funded by Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global, Dell, Bloomberg, and Ram Sriram (first investor in Google). With a 2-3 year runway, we offer startup agility and longer-term stability.

Product

We are building a global operating network that finally enables supply-chain companies to collaborate within one platform. Our workflow engine empowers non-technical industry experts to model their complex manufacturing and operational processes. Our forms engine enables unprecedented data exchange between companies. And our upcoming AI engine summarizes the complex goings-on across thousands of workflows, identifying inefficiencies and driving optimization as companies react to a constantly-shifting global landscape. Quote one user : ”I’ve been waiting for this for 20 years.”

Culture and Compensation

We are a customer-obsessed, product-driven company that is building a flexible, hybrid / remote culture to enable the brightest minds in the industry. We are particularly interested in candidates based in our hubs of Seattle, San Francisco, and New York, but we will consider candidates who live anywhere in the US, Canada, or Mexico. We have industry-leading compensation packages, including equity and health benefits. We are willing to sponsor US work authorization if needed.
