Senior Software Engineer at Topia

About the role

Topia is the leader in Global Talent Mobility, empowering enterprise HR teams to deploy, manage and engage employees anywhere in the world.

Topia has a new opportunity for Senior Software Engineer to join our team remotely either in Estonia, Spain or Ireland. In this role we are looking for an engineer with solid java experience to come onboard to design, develop and deploy backend services with a focus on low latency, high availability and scalability.  We are looking for someone that can collaborate closely with other engineers and product as a valuable member, including participation in code reviews and design sessions.

Our Product

Managing a distributed workforce is pivotal to most companies - creating integrated global teams; hiring, developing and retaining the best people (regardless of location), supporting global customers and developing in new markets. 

Our product supports the gamut of ways in which global companies and their employees can work everywhere:

• Employees relocating and being assigned to different states or countries around the world 

• Companies working in industries where global work is part of day to day life - such as workers moving on and off mining sites or oil rigs

• Employees frequently travelling for business

• Remote working or working from home around the world

Topia picks up where other core corporate systems - HR, finance, benefits, expenses and payroll systems - struggle. Handling global immigration, tax, employment law, cost allocation and payroll withholding complexities and, more simply, just helping companies to work everywhere.

About the Engineering Team

The team currently consists of experienced developers who have been working together for years, and are a welcoming, mentoring group. We are fiercely proud of our product. We work with an agile methodology - the usual things, two week sprints, daily standups. The process works for us, rather than the other way around.

We have an emphasis on skill transfer and mentoring. Our collaboration through meetings and code reviews are supportive. We talk about practices and standards, and come to a team consensus rather than being top-down in decision making with regards to architecture and style.

At Topia, we ground ourselves in being equitable, fair, and treating employees as people, not numbers. Our total rewards and pay practices are centered around these principles as well. 

Base compensation ranges are intentionally broad to cover a variety of levels and locations. Position within the range will be determined by location, experience, and skill set. Our culture is one of open and honest communication so you can expect to have a conversation with a member of the People & Culture team about your compensation expectations early on in the recruiting process.

Employees at all levels and locations are also eligible to participate in our corporate bonus plan with an annual bonus target percentage and to receive stock options. These amounts are not included in the above listed base compensation range. Full and part-time employees based in Ireland and Estonia are entitled to the below benefits:

• 43 paid days off per year. This includes 25 (Ireland) 28 (Estonia) days of Holiday Leave, 10 company paid holidays, 4 days of Volunteer Time Off, and 1 Floating Holiday to take for whatever day or celebration is personally meaningful to you

• 8 weeks of fully paid Parental Leave offered globally for all new parents, plus an additional 8 weeks of Pregnancy Leave for birthing parents

• Private health insurance for employees

• Flexible working arrangements including an established Remote Work Policy and no in-office requirements
