About Us

With ever-growing workloads on the cloud, companies face significant challenges in managing productivity and spending, and maximizing impact to their businesses. Compute Software is addressing a huge market opportunity to help companies make good business decisions and run optimally on the public cloud. We're building a powerful platform to give customers the tools they need to gain transparency, optimize their usage, and execute change across their organizations.

We're a small, distributed team, currently spanning California to Quebec, and we offer early stage market-rate compensation (including equity), health and dental insurance, and 401K benefits. You'll be joining a venture capital-backed, distributed team with ambitious goals, and you will have the ability to make a direct and lasting impact on the team and product.

Your Role

Be one of the earliest employees and join our early-stage engineering team as a Senior Software Engineer. You will be essential in shaping the features and functionality of our SaaS platform, culture and processes.

You'll spend your day enveloped in Clojure. The backend is written in Clojure and driven by data in Datomic and InfluxDB. The frontend is written in ClojureScript using re-frame and communicates with the backend using Pathom. We deploy to AWS Fargate and Datomic Ions.

For product development, we follow Shape Up. We use Notion, Slack, and ClubHouse.
