Various Software Engineering Roles

About the Role

Prophet Town LLC is a people-first, boutique tech agency creating on-demand teams and software solutions for long-standing clients. These clients trust us to practice engineering excellence as though we were members of their own staff. Our leadership team is ex-Fortune 100 with software engineering backgrounds: we’re still coding. Notable recent projects include a gigantic ERP migration for Anduril, and working with Surge Labs to help develop some of the frontier LLM models themselves (yes, seriously).

This is a remote-first agency, but some projects involve onsite work. I’m the founder and CEO, and I’m trying to do what I call “enlightened business”. I take responsibility for both staff and clients, and I look for people who approach their work with a similar sense of ownership. Applicants must meet a high bar - I personally review every hire.

What You'll Get

• Flexibility and a low-bureaucracy environment
• Clients that won’t treat the vendor like “the B Team”
• The chance to act as a code architect, not just implement tickets
• Exposure to a wide variety of industries and modern challenges
• Me as your personal champion and advocate

Feel free to submit, even if you already did in the past.

We are currently especially seeking:

• Back-end, Front-end, and Full-Stack Software Engineers, Tiers 3 and 4 (Typescript/Javascript, React, NextJS; Ruby on Rails; Python; DevOps, and third-party API integrations)

Tier 3 roles are typically 5-10 years experience with $150-$180K total comp. Tier 4 roles are 11-20 years experience, $215-$260K total comp. Higher tiers exist, and we always welcome exceptional applications.

Though not yet universal, many of our clients are now demanding senior/staff engineers with success using modern agentic approaches. Be ready to explain where current models work well and where they do not.
