Software Engineer - Growth Phase Cloud SaaS for Municipal Finance

Who We Are:

Muniworth is a cloud-based SaaS startup in the growth phase, dedicated to empowering municipal utilities and governments with financial forecasting tools. Our platform enables local governments to achieve financial sustainability and make informed, data-driven decisions through robust modelling and compelling visuals.

About Our Approach:

We believe apparent correctness is not enough: code must respect underlying concepts, with types and named algorithms directly describing the domain. Great code is correct-by-construction, with any remaining uncertainties ruled-out by a suite of unit tests. Furthermore, great design does not happen by accident: it requires clear principles, and the willingness to defend and refine them through spirited deliberation. We strive to write pure, compositional code, with any inevitable impure code tamed by a rigid stratification of effects. To this end, we write TypeScript in a functional programming style. We have an enduring commitment to satisfy the needs of our rapidly growing business, understanding that great code is essential for our continued growth and success. We place a strong emphasis on domain modelling and understanding the nature of the problems that we are solving and will spend considerable time engaged with research and experimental development. We have regular presentations, where engineers talk about whatever excites them, with previous topics including programming language theory, Master's Thesis presentations, World of Warcraft addons, and the philosophy of Machine Learning.
