<h1>Senior Software Engineer: Full-Stack JS</h1> <h2>Our Story</h2> Over the past several years, Able has grown immeasurably. We’ve also grown in the type of company that we are: Chapter 1: We were founded in 2013 as a product and engineering hub for a portfolio of early-stage start-ups. We grew up as an in-house/external hybrid shared services model. That allowed us to hone our skills and establish our operational and cultural foundation.  Chapter 2: In 2019 we began to expand our vision. We began to grow outside of our inset partner base. We had good initial success meeting new partners, kicking off new relationships, and delivering high-value work. Chapter 3: In 2023, we moved into the next phase of a new chapter, an expansion of the ambition of Chapter 2. Our strategy for growth centers around two audiences: <ul> <li>Venture Capital: VC firms are looking for trusted product and technology solutions to distribute seamlessly across their portfolios at scale.</li> <li>Private Equity: PE firms are looking for trusted solutions that can catalyze growth for their portfolio companies at scale.</li> </ul> Chapter 3a: We are now in the next phase of Chapter 3, aligned to our mission and vision, and accelerated by the powers of applied AI. We believe that AI will be a powerful force in the end-to-end software development lifecycle. Specifically we are creating practices that – coupled with our world class talent – can deliver software significantly faster than legacy techniques. The result is increased value for our partners, who can dramatically increase the capacity of their product organizations.  <h2>About the Role</h2> We’re looking for an experienced software engineer who thrives in the JavaScript ecosystem—someone excited about both frontend and backend development, and who understands how to scale applications within modern architectures like serverless or microservices. You’ll play a central role in a complex, enterprise-scale project with fast-moving delivery needs, so we’re looking for someone who has previously led technical efforts and is confident in navigating ambiguity with autonomy.
