Our Values If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in. Who You Are You are a thoughtful software engineer who wants to make other developers successful. You enjoy building products that are clear, reliable, and pleasant to use, and you are energized by learning how real customers and partners use an API, not just how it is supposed to work on a diagram. You have solid engineering fundamentals and are developing confidence across web applications, APIs, and integration patterns. You ask good questions, write what you learn down, and care about shipping complete experiences: code, tests, documentation, observability, and a clear path for someone else to use what you built. On this team, you will build the connective tissue of the Justworks developer ecosystem while supporting partner integrations. You will learn directly from developer and partner feedback, contribute to hands-on solutioning, and turn repeatable needs into self-service capabilities. What You Will Work On • Build, test, deploy, and operate developer-facing experiences such as developer portal, documentation tooling, SDK improvements, quickstarts, code samples, and integration templates. • Contribute to partner integration work by researching APIs, implementing well-scoped components, validating integration flows, and preparing clear technical documentation and test plans. • Pair with senior engineers in partner working sessions; progressively own bounded technical discussions and follow-up deliverables. • Turn repeated questions and friction into durable improvements to docs, samples, SDKs, tooling, and product feedback. • Write maintainable code with appropriate automated tests, logging and metrics, code review, and security practices. • Participate in design reviews, incident and debugging work, and team retrospectives; use what you learn to improve the developer journey. • Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Partnerships and Sales, and Support with curiosity, reliability, and clear communication. How You Will Do Your Work As a Software Engineer, how results are achieved is central to success at Justworks. You will demonstrate: • Good judgment: You seek context, understand the impact of changes, raise risks early, and take ownership of the work you commit to. • Resourcefulness: You investigate thoughtfully, use available tools and documentation well, and ask for help when it will unblock progress. • Teamwork and communication: You communicate clearly, document your work, welcome feedback, and treat internal and external collaborators with respect. • Influence and leadership: You contribute ideas, share what you learn, and build trust through dependable execution. • Skills and knowledge: You continuously strengthen your software-engineering, API, testing, and developer-experience craft. You model Justworks' COGIS values—Camaraderie, Openness, Grit, Integrity, and Simplicity—in both the products you build and the relationships you create. Qualifications • 2+ years of
