Back End Engineer

Remote

The Engineering team includes Data, IT, Security, and Software, and is responsible for building innovative products and infrastructure for Per Diem and our customers.

We believe that engineers should accelerate the business through technology, and collaborate across multiple teams to accomplish that.

We hire smart people who can be autonomous.

We're looking for value inclusivity, eager to learn, teach and constantly improve how things work. The software we build today is the foundation for dozens of Per Diem systems in the future, so engineers have a strong sense of ownership and accountability and take pride in their craft.
