Homeoffice Software Engineer - Reliability & Tooling presso Pinpoint
Pinpoint · London, Regno Unito · Remote
- Professional
Hi đ Iâm Dom, VP of Engineering at Pinpoint.
Weâre a high-growth HR tech startup building and selling software that helps in-house recruitment teams attract, hire, and onboard the right talent. Today, we have a strong foundation in place: a mature product, rapid growth, strong product-market fit, and happy customers.
Weâre scaling fast - more customers, more integrations, and more people using Pinpoint in complex ways every day. Our CS team has grown faster than Engineering, and the volume of technical escalations has outgrown todayâs reactive model. Because customers run their entire hiring process on Pinpoint, reliability isnât a nice-to-have â itâs core to our product promise.
To keep scaling confidently, weâre adding a Software Engineer (Reliability & Tooling) to strengthen the feedback loop between our customers, Support, and Product, and to lay the foundation for a proactive reliability function inside Engineering.
This role exists because weâre at the stage where quality and pace have to rise together, and we need an engineer who thrives on making that possible. Youâll own debugging and reliability as a craft: fixing the tough stuff, instrumenting whatâs fragile, and building internal tools that make the whole company more effective.
The fine print (but way more exciting):
The fine print (but way more exciting):
- This is a remote, UK-based role, with occasional in-person meetups. Our HQ is in Jersey, and weâre a growing team of ~80 (20 in Product & Engineering) across the UK, US, and EU
- Youâll work within Engineering as a first-principles problem solver across the stack, collaborating with Support, QA, and Product to close the loop between customer feedback and how we build
- Youâll see every kind of edge case and architectural stress, touching APIs, webhooks, SSO, data integrations, and embedded candidate-facing UIs
- Youâll help turn todayâs reactive debugging into tomorrowâs proactive systems and tooling.
- Pinpoint isnât for everyone. Weâre still in startup mode, so weâre fast-moving, evolving, and hands-on
- Our values actually matter here. We hire people who reflect them in how they work, collaborate, and make decisions
About the Role:
- Own the full lifecycle of debugging - triage, diagnose, fix, and prevent high-impact issues across the product
- Build internal tools in our internal admin panel, so CS and CSMs can self-serve (bulk operations, config changes, diagnostics)
- Add instrumentation and logging to uncover recurring pain points and product drop-offs
- Shrink the backlog by identifying and fixing root causes rather than patching symptoms
- Balance short-term escalations with proactive reliability improvements (roughly 50/50)
- Work with Product, QA, and Support to resolve issues quickly while maintaining momentum on planned product development
- Shape the longer-term reliability model, defining tooling, processes, and expectations for a future rotation across product squads
- Participate in a light escalation rotation during weekday hours
- Deploy to production independently within your first year
Tech stack: Ruby on Rails (primary), TypeScript, React, MySQL.
About You:
- 3â5+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years of Ruby on Rails and 1+ year of React + TypeScript in production
- Proven debugging instincts and a track record of owning production issues end-to-end; finding, fixing, and preventing recurrence
- Bonus points if youâve previously built internal tooling for Support, Reliability, or Developer Productivity
- Comfortable working across the full stack to understand how everything fits together
- Excellent communicator who closes the loop between technical and non-technical teams
- Thrive in low-process, high-autonomy environments; you prioritize impact over instruction and focus on prevention over firefighting
- Value reliability and tooling as leverage work - building systems that make others faster, not just patching problems
- Strong product empathy - you understand how reliability connects directly to customer trust and business outcomes
- Experience operating in startup or scale-up SaaS environments with fast-moving, resource-constrained teams
- Based in the UK, with work authorization
