# Senior Software Engineer

Ship real things for real families from week one. Own features end to end, grow fast, and get handed more of the system every quarter. About the role When someone dies, their family inherits a mountain of admin. A will is the single most useful thing that makes it smaller, but only if it’s correct, current and actually says what the person meant. That’s the bar our code has to clear, every time. As a software engineer, you’ll own features from the first conversation to production. You won’t get a ticket with the answer already written on it. You’ll get a problem, the context behind it, and someone to think it through with. The scope you own grows as fast as you do. Small team, lots of surface area: if you want more responsibility, it’s there to take. The team Engineering is small but mighty, and growing. You’ll work alongside Product, Design and the legal specialists who know every edge case by heart. You’ll join the team where you can make the most difference as roles fill, and you’ll have a say in where that is. We work in small, stable teams that own a product area end to end, from the first conversation with legal to the alert that fires if it breaks. Nobody hands you a ticket
