Overview

  • Reports To: Engineering Lead / Manager
  • Works With: A competent engineering team, and cross-functional Product and Design
  • Track: Full-time · Full-stack individual contributor
  • Experience: 4–7 years in software engineering
  • Compensation: Competitive base + performance bonus (shared during the process)

The Opportunity

Chronus is the market leader in enterprise mentoring and connection software, trusted by Fortune 500 companies worldwide.

We are an AI-native engineering organization — coding agents, automated review, and machine-assisted design are core to how we ship, not a side experiment. You will join a small, seasoned team of engineers with deep technical backgrounds, a high bar, and the autonomy to move fast. The role is built to grow — toward either people leadership or technical leadership, as your strengths and interests take shape.

What You Will Own

  • Take features and services from framing to release across multiple areas of the product.
  • Deliver with AI in the loop — use coding agents daily to ship faster while holding production quality.
  • Work in an agile way — iterate quickly, adapt as priorities shift, and stay effective under pressure.
  • Propose more than one solution or library, and choose by weighing the trade-offs.
  • Shape the design — schemas, interfaces, and abstractions that hold up as the system grows.
  • Design and code for the non-functional aspects — performance, scalability, security, accessibility, and readability.
  • Review pull requests and mentor one or two engineers, lifting the team as you go.
  • Monitor the services and tools you own, and build automations that improve their efficiency.

What We Are Looking For

  • Ability to drive ambiguous problems to completion with limited guidance, and communicating clearly across functions.
  • A product thinker — you understand the customer problem behind the work and build solutions you’re proud of.
  • Fluent with AI coding agents — you steer them to the intended result, not just correct it afterward.
  • Full-stack: exposure to backend services and a modern JavaScript front end.
  • A plus: Ruby on Rails and React (or a comparable server-side framework and modern SPA front end), multi-tenant SaaS, and experience with MySQL or other relational databases.
