高级软件工程师
Senior Software Engineer
关于Dockwa
Dockwa是海洋经济的操作系统。
超过1250家游艇码头使用我们的软件运营业务，超过50万艘游艇用户通过我们的应用寻找和预订泊位、加油、服务等。过去十二个月中，近五十万次预订通过我们完成。我们掌控游艇用户市场、游艇码头运营以及支撑两者的支付层。
这种分布就是全部的论点。当任何人都可以生成软件时，持久的优势是成为行业已经使用的系统。我们在游艇领域具备这一点，并且刚刚融资以将其扩展到全球。
关于职位
你将构建游艇码头运营商用来运营业务的软件，以及另一边的游艇用户应用。
目前工程团队有六人，一年内将增加到十四人。这是一支小团队，面对的是一个巨大的工作范围：预订、支付和资金流动、码头和泊位管理、租金清单、游艇用户CRM、服务和工单、会计集成、原生iOS应用，以及我们在国际扩展时的多货币支持。团队规模与工作范围之间的差距就是这份工作的核心：这意味着你将早期做出真正的决策，你的判断比资历更重要。
你将负责问题，而不是工单。从范围定义、设计、实现、部署到后续发生的事情。你还将花大量时间在自己没有编写的代码上，在一个运行了十二年的系统中处理实时支付流量，这本身就是一种技能。
我们大多数客户经营的是季节性业务，一个糟糕的周六早上会让他们损失整个周末的收入。你将在几天内就知道你发布的功能是否帮助了他们。
在这里茁壮成长的人
在Dockwa茁壮成长的人通常曾创立过公司，或者早期加入并随着公司一起成长。他们关注结果而非工单。他们对产品和业务有观点，而不仅仅是代码。他们更愿意让运营商在周六早上注意到某个功能，而不是赢得关于抽象概念的争论。
你应该希望掌握方向。这里的工作重要性远超过能完成它的人数，这意味着你将参与决定要开发什么，而不仅仅是执行已决定的内容。我们也将AI视为核心开发基础设施，而非次要实验，我们期望你已经这样工作了。
你需要具备
- 你曾经发布并负责过的生产级Web应用，而不仅仅是参与过。
- 真正的AI能力，有实际成果。不是工具的熟悉度。是你无法在没有它的情况下完成的工作。

About Dockwa
Dockwa is the operating system for the marine economy.
More than 1,250 marinas run their business on our software and more than 500,000 boaters use our app to find and book slips, fuel, service, and more. Nearly half a million reservations moved through us in the last twelve months. We own the boater marketplace, marina operations, and the payments layer underneath both.
That distribution is the whole argument. When anyone can generate software, the durable advantage is being the system an industry already runs on. We have that in boating and we just raised to go take it global.
About the Role
You will build the software marina operators use to run their businesses, and the boater app on the other side of it.
Engineering is six people today and will be fourteen inside a year. That is a small team against a large surface: reservations, payments and money movement, dock and slip management, rent roll, boater CRM, service and work orders, accounting integrations, a native iOS app, and multi-currency as we move internationally. The gap between team size and surface area is the job. It means you make real decisions early, and your judgment matters more than your tenure.
You will own problems rather than tickets. Scoping, design, implementation, deploy, and what happens after. You will also spend real time in code you did not write, in a twelve-year-old system carrying live payment traffic, which is its own kind of skill.
Most of our customers run seasonal businesses where a bad Saturday morning costs them a weekend of revenue. You will know within days whether what you shipped helped them.
Who Thrives Here
The people who thrive at Dockwa have usually founded something, or joined something early and grew with it. They think in outcomes rather than tickets. They have opinions about the product and the business, not only the code. They would rather ship something an operator notices on a Saturday morning than win an argument about abstractions.
You should want to steer. There is more consequential work here than there are people to do it, which means you will help decide what gets built, not just build what was decided. We also treat AI as core development infrastructure rather than a side experiment, and we expect you to already work that way.
What You Need
- Production web applications you shipped and then owned, not just contributed to.
- Real AI fluency with receipts. Not tool familiarity. Work you could not have delivered without it.
- Comfort across a full stack. Ours is Rails, React, Postgres and AWS, but we will take judgment over stack match every time.
- The ability to read and improve unfamiliar code without proposing a rewrite.
- Writing clear enough to explain a technical tradeoff to a PM, a support teammate, or a marina operator.
Nice-to-Haves
- Payments and money movement experience: Stripe or Stripe Connect, ACH, settlement, reconciliation, multi-currency.
- Vertical SaaS or B2B software where your users operate a physical business rather than sit at a desk.
- International product work: currency, localization, tax, compliance.
- AWS beyond EC2 and S3: queuing, caching, and background jobs at scale.
- Experience on a team small enough that you were the one on call for what you built.
How We Hire
Short, collaborative, and built around real problems rather than memory tests or puzzles. We are screening for motivation and judgment over trivia, and we want you to finish the process more excited than you started it.
How We Work
We are a small team that is winning. Problems grow exponentially with each person added, not linearly, so we keep the organization lean on purpose and put people at the source of problems with real ownership.
We automate before we hire. We ship quality at speed and treat those as compatible. We own the full loop from discovery to payment to analytics, because controlling the data is what makes the intelligence products possible.
We move fast, and context does not always land perfectly. It is always fine to ask why.
We have an institutional partner in PSG and an annual plan that’s in our control. We’re investing heavily in product and engineering because the operating system of the marine economy is ours to build and own. Acquisitions are part of how we grow, and we have dedicated budget behind that as well.
Equal Opportunity
We hire for range on purpose. Different vantage points produce better arguments, and on a team this small every viewpoint in the room changes the outcome. Dockwa is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic.
