Job Description

Remote Software Engineer Jobs in Maryland (Remote)

Can you translate complex technical ideas into scalable, elegant code? Do you thrive in remote teams where autonomy isn’t just granted—it’s expected? This remote software engineering role gives you the room to solve hard problems, build systems that matter, and grow alongside people who care about both craft and connection.

Your Impact Begins on Day One

From your first commit, you’ll help ship features that support tens of thousands of users across Maryland and beyond. Our current engineering focus centers on modernizing internal systems, enhancing application resilience, and developing APIs that are both intuitive and powerful. Your code won’t sit in a queue—it’ll move fast, with thoughtful reviews and instant production impact.

You’ll collaborate across teams to shape services and tools that empower everyone—from frontline staff to technical stakeholders. Expect to make judgment calls, simplify legacy codebases, and ask the questions no one else is asking.

What You’ll Own

• Architect scalable backend services that can handle surges in user activity without a hiccup.
• Build frontend interfaces that demystify complex workflows and streamline user journeys.
• Integrate third-party APIs with care, ensuring long-term maintainability and graceful failovers.
• Pair with QA and DevOps to deploy with confidence and speed.
• Guide the technical direction of projects that directly affect our remote software platforms.
• Participate in sprint reviews that turn roadmap prioritization into meaningful progress.

Your contributions won’t just close tickets. They’ll shape how products evolve and how users engage.

How We Work Together

This is a fully remote position, but that doesn’t mean disconnected. Our team spans Maryland and beyond, syncing daily via Zoom and Slack while using asynchronous tools like Linear and Notion to stay focused. Expect flexible hours with core overlap, so you can structure your day around flow time—not just meetings.

We conduct thorough code reviews, engage in respectful disagreements, and develop thoughtful technical plans. You’ll be joining a culture that balances strong opinions with open minds. Everyone contributes, and every voice counts.

Tools of the Trade

You’ll be working with a modern tech stack designed for speed, clarity, and scale:

• Languages: JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or Go (depending on team fit)
• Frameworks: React, Node.js, Flask, FastAPI
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Kubernetes
• Collaboration: GitHub, Jira, Figma, Notion, Slack

We believe in using the right tool for the job—and evolving our stack based on practical feedback.

What Sets You Apart

You don’t just write code—you architect change. You care about naming things, documenting edge cases, and writing tests that others actually read. You simplify complexity, not just for yourself but for everyone who touches the code after you.

You’re not fazed by legacy systems or imperfect specs. Instead, you ask thoughtful questions, seek context, and push for clarity. Whether it’s debugging a production issue or mentoring a new engineer, you bring a calm, focused energy to the team.

And most of all? You believe that engineering is a team sport.

Qualifications Snapshot

• At least three years of crafting software solutions, particularly in remote-first environments
• Proficiency in one or more of our primary languages (JavaScript, Python, Go)
• Hands-on experience with API design, versioning, and performance tuning
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and CI/CD best practices
• Strong grasp of security, privacy, and accessibility standards

We’re open to a range of backgrounds—what matters most is your ability to solve real problems, communicate effectively, and continually improve.

A Glimpse Into Our World

Imagine launching a new platform that enables remote workers across Maryland to access vital services more quickly and reliably. That’s exactly what our team did last quarter. From early brainstorming to the final deployment, engineers like you played a pivotal role in defining not just how it works—but why it matters.

We’re not interested in churn-and-burn releases. We want to build things that last. And we want teammates who think a few steps ahead: about scalability, ethics, and the human beings behind every endpoint.

Compensation & Perks

• Annual Salary: $143,178 (remote, full-time)
• Flexible PTO and generous holiday schedule
• 401(k) with matching
• Wellness stipend and home office reimbursement
• Learning budgets for courses, books, and certifications
• Remote-first culture with team retreats and coworking stipends
