About Super.com
We started Super.com to help maximize lives–both the lives of our customers and the lives of our employees– so that everyone can experience all that life has to offer. For our employees, our promise is that Super.com is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to unlock one’s potential, where learning is celebrated and impact is realized.
We are more than a fast-paced, high-growth tech company; we care about our people and take career progression seriously. This is your career and our aim is to supercharge it through the people, the work, and the programs that fuel who we are.
About this team
Super.com engineering has four full-stack product development focus areas: fintech, travel, earnings, and a superapp membership program to unite them all. Between them, our dozens of microservices and event-driven architecture handle 1000s of requests and events per second, ingest over 1TB of data per day and process over $1MM per day in sales. We have 80 engineers across our product development and infrastructure teams. We work in close partnership with Product Managers, Designers, and QA in an agile, fast-paced scaleup environment that respects work/life harmony.
About this role
As a Software Architect you will be the most senior technical individual contributor in our company. You will be the point person for solving the most difficult technical challenges our engineering org faces spanning frontend and backend web development as well as system architecture. You will drive our long-term technology roadmap and how to best leverage engineering to drive user and business impact in our fintech, travel, earnings, and membership products. You will predominantly work with React on the frontend, and a combination of Python and Node microservices on the backend.

- Help ensure our engineering teams strike the right balance between building quickly and building sustainably, and build vs. buy decision making
