We work with architects, builders, and leading brands across the built environment, including Amazon, Room & Board, and Equinox. Our work has been recognized by Time's Best Inventions and Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards. Technology is how we match supply to demand across a fragmented industry. The American hardwood industry has lost more than half its sawmills in the last two decades. Quality trees go to waste, and the US imports more lumber than it produces, even though domestic capacity could meet nearly all of our needs. Until now, this industry forced a choice: local relationships or national scale, meaningful materials or modern efficiency. We don't think those are real tradeoffs. We're building the infrastructure to prove it, with modern software, better supply chains, and a clear view of what comes next: a wood economy that's local, efficient, and built to last.\nAbout This Role\nAs a Senior Software Engineer at Cambium, you'll be a key individual contributor leading end-to-end projects across our platform - writing maintainable code, designing for performance and longevity, and shaping architectural decisions. Our platform consists of a data layer, storing all data across the entire supply chain, this is where we digitize the offline network. On top of that data layer, we’re building vertical applications specific to each node within the network, from sawmills to contractors to Fortune 500 buyers. You'll work closely with the VP of Engineering, Product, and the broader team (including customers) to bring solutions from concept to production. To succeed at the job, you must be able to operate independently and want to take on ownership, be a great mentor for others, and be able to contribute across a wide range of technical challenges.\nWhat You'll Do Here\nLead the design, development, and deployment of major features across Cambium's platform - data infrastructure, internal tools, and client-facing interfaces.\n\nBuild with AI coding agents like Claude Code as a core part of how you work - not as an occasional assist, but as the default. Help shape our team's evolving practices for agentic development as the frontier moves.\n\nWrite clean, maintainable, performant code with an emphasis on security and reliability.\n\nHelp define Cambium's architecture and technical roadmap alongside our Staff Engineer and leadership.\n\nPrioritize and resolve technical debt and cross-cutting concerns.\n\nCollaborate cross-functionally with Product, Supply, Sales, and external partners.\n\nMentor teammates and strengthen a culture of learning through code reviews, design reviews, and postmortems.\n\nYour Skill Sets and Capabilities Include\n8-10+ years of professional software development experience, ideally with some startup or early-stage environments.\n\nStrong backend engineering experience designing secure, maintainable, production-ready systems.\n\nHands-on experience shipping production code with AI coding agents (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex). You have specific opinions about where these tools shine, where they break, and how to get serious leverage from them. Comfort with rapid change and a strong instinct to experiment are required - we're at the forward edge of this and the ground moves under us regularly.\n\nFrontend experience with React and modern TypeScript; ability to lead frontend architecture and implementation is a major plus.\n\nExperience leading projects independently and influencing architecture and roadmap discussions with a pragmatic, systems-thinking approach.\n\nStrong communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.\n\nFamiliarity with (or interest in) Cambium's stack: Python, Postgres, TypeScript, React, AWS.\n\nBonus: supply chain/logistics, geospatial data, ERP/CRM, sustainability-focused tech.\n\nThe Details\nThis role will report to: Aaron LeClair, Interim CTO\nWhen: Q4 2026\nWhere: Remote, with occasional travel for company or engineering retreats\nBenefits and Perks\nEquity options package\n\nUnlimited PTO and flexible schedule\n\n401k matching\n\nComprehensive medical, dental & vision insurance\n\nWork with an incredibly smart, diverse, climate mission-driven team\n\nAn opportunity to play a core role in defining our fast-growing company\n\nVolunteer tree planting days\n\nCambium is committed to building an inclusive organization that reflects the diverse communities our team works to serve. We believe that diversity in all its forms (gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion, veteran’s status, disability and more) is essential to imagining and actively building a more just and sustainable future for all. We hope you feel welcome here. Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4923,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Flexible schedule","Unlimited PTO","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Wood Products & Furniture","Marketplaces"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T02:54:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T03:59:07Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cambium-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cambium-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T03:59:07Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9327,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":721289},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=721289"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcambium-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcambium-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcambium-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cambium-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcambium-senior-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3999612}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cambium.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3999612},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
