Central is hiring a Software Engineer - HRIS to architect mission-critical workflows, iterate rapidly on features, own technical domains, and leverage AI to automate back-office operations for startups.

What You'll Do

Architect mission-critical workflows: design, build, and maintain stateful, end-to-end systems that ensure data integrity and meet compliance and reliability requirements.
Iterate rapidly by shipping incremental, production-ready features in days—prototype, gather real user feedback, and refine relentlessly.
Own your domain as the technical product lead for core platform areas—setting standards for code quality, observability, testing, and operational excellence.
Delight and empower customers by partnering with Product and Support to translate user pain points into clean, intuitive solutions that scale from a single startup to enterprise.
Push the limits with AI to automate things that were previously impossible and create completely new user experiences.

What We're Looking For

Experienced systems architect: you’ve designed and delivered large-scale, stateful architectures—modeling complex domains, defining clear data schemas, and ensuring end-to-end reliability.
Distributed-transaction specialist: you’ve implemented robust patterns for coordinating multi-step workflows across disparate services and third-party APIs—handling two-phase commits, sagas, idempotency, and compensating actions to keep data consistent.
Deep transactional-pipeline expertise: comfort building reconciled workflows with audit trails and automated recovery, especially when orchestrating financial or compliance-related operations.
Reliability-first mindset: you bake in observability (metrics, logs, alerts), fault tolerance, and graceful degradation from day one.
Scalability & performance focus: you understand caching, queueing, rate-limiting, and have tuned systems to handle rapid growth without sacrificing latency or correctness.
Strategic thinker & communicator: you break down complex trade-offs into clear plans, document your designs, and keep cross-functional stakeholders aligned.
Bias toward action & high standards: you ship prototypes quickly, iterate based on real feedback, and insist on production-ready quality in every release.
