Staff/Principal Software Engineer

Our mission is to fix hiring, making it fundamentally more equitable, effective, collaborative, and human. We're doing this by building the first intelligent platform for the most important part of the hiring process: interviews and decisions. Our innovative approach has been covered in Inc. Magazine and Quartz, we're backed by the investors behind Figma, Dropbox and Slack, and advised by thought-leaders including renowned organizational psychologist and NYT bestselling author Adam Grant.

Our goal is to ensure that BrightHire upholds an inclusive environment where all people feel that they are equally respected and valued, whether they are applying for an open position or working at the company. We welcome applicants of any educational background, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, citizenship, socioeconomic status, disability, and veteran status, and we'd love to learn about what you can add to our team.

Our product helps people hire better by transforming the most important part of the process: conversations. We do this by making it possible to easily capture, analyze, share and perfect hiring conversations at scale, to help forward-thinking companies build talented, diverse teams.
