Budibase is hiring Senior Software Engineers to help build the next generation of its open-source platform. The company has 28k GitHub stars and is used by teams worldwide to build apps, automate workflows, connect to data, and use AI agents for operational work.
In this role, you'll join one of the product engineering teams and take ownership of substantial parts of the platform. Your work could span building and evolving the app-building experience, developing workflow and automation capabilities, building AI agents that reliably use tools and data, designing integrations with external systems and APIs, improving performance and reliability, solving architectural problems as the platform scales, and creating product experiences that make complex capabilities accessible.
Budibase is a small engineering team where senior engineers are expected to be hands-on and close to the product. You'll have significant autonomy over how problems are solved and will work directly with product, design, and other engineers to decide what gets built and how. Success means becoming an owner of significant parts of Budibase rather than simply contributing individual features. You'll take ambiguous product and technical problems, understand the underlying need, help determine the right solution, build it, and get it into users' hands. Over time, you'll raise the quality of engineering around you through the decisions you make, the systems you build, and how you work with the team.
The company offers a fully remote setup with regular company get-togethers, an optional 4-day work week, and is close to profitability with 24 months of runway.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Significant professional software engineering experience
- Strong JavaScript or TypeScript fundamentals
- Comfortable working across frontend and backend
- Demonstrated ownership of substantial product or technical work from problem through to production
- Ability to work effectively with ambiguity and make sound technical decisions
- Care about usability, reliability, maintainability, and product quality
- Ability to break complex problems into pragmatic solutions and ship them
- Can identify when a system needs deeper technical investment versus a simpler solution
- Experience using AI coding tools and actively exploring how AI changes software development
- Clear communication of technical decisions and effective collaboration with product, design, and engineering teams
