Our Product
Say goodbye to distracted zoom training sessions and lengthy LMS courses your teams will forget. Spekit is the leading just-in-time enablement platform that meets your reps when and where they need it, in the tools they use every day.

Your impact
We’re looking for an experienced Software Engineer, Full Stack committed to high standards of excellence to help us continue to build world class products for our customers! As a software engineer at Spekit, you'll be focused on solidifying the core Spekit building blocks and creating and improving an experience to make Spekit a part of everyday work for users. The right candidate is technically strong on the front end (React) as well as the backend (Python).
Our customer-focused, product engineers build and test features end-to-end, support systems in production, and collaborate with the broader team on architectural design, technical debt, and the overall development process.
At Spekit, we take our core value of learning & growth mindset seriously. In this role, you will learn alongside our other talented engineers, and have first-class support by our experienced management and leadership teams. If you’re a do-er who thrives in a fast paced environment and wants to leverage your expertise to make real, measurable impacts on the future of an organization, we want to hear from you!
What we’re looking for in you
- Product-based mindset: We think long-term with the product vision in mind. We empathize with the customer - whether that customer is an end user, another team, a 3rd party integrator, or Spekit's own employees. You have a desire to develop a product that end users LOVE to use on a day to day basis!
- Curiosity: You can take a vague description of a feature and find the answers necessary to come up with a plan for development. You find the unknowns and work in a way to flush them out as soon as possible. You use small iterations and copious amounts of feedback to make sure you are on the right track. Where feedback loops are large, you propose ways to reduce the size of the loop
- Action oriented: You are not shy about diving into complex problems. You’re determined to find the simplest solution, even if that solution is hard work. If you don’t know the answer, you seek others out with domain knowledge so that you can learn and make an impact. You have a willingness to work through unexpected roadblocks and leave improvements behind so that others don’t hit those same roadblocks.
- Influence: You can communicate a vision and you have the tactical knowledge to help our team incrementally get there
- Quality: We hate bugs and we test first. We look for root causes. We recognize complexity is a source of bugs, so seek ways, in both the product and the code, to do things more simply
- Technical excellence: You are proud of the work you merge to production. You stand behind the pull requests you approve. Every line of code has a purpose. We solve today's problems today, and have the confidence and ability to solve tomorrow's problems tomorrow. You are not your code. You seek criticism and engage in discussion because you want to be better
Qualifications
- At least 4+ years in software development
- Experience with Python (+ Django / Django-Rest, and Dramatiq), PostgreSQL, Redis, & RabbitMQ
- Experience with React
- A test-first mindset, with experience writing unit tests for both Django and React applications
- Excellent software engineering fundamentals such as SOLID principles, design patterns and other forms of systems design collaboration
- Experience building and scaling web applications to broad audiences
- The tenacity to find the simplest solution, even if that solution is hard work
- The ability to communicate a vision, and the tactical knowledge on how to incrementally get there
- A willingness to work through unexpected roadblocks, and leaving improvements behind so that others don’t hit those same roadblocks
- A desire to develop a product that end users LOVE to use on a day to day basis
- Needs to be able to work in MST - EST time zones
Things we value, culture-wise:
Grit & Growth. We run towards challenges. If something seems unsolvable, it unleashes our persistence, our creativity, and our ability to move through uncertainty to create a solution.
Simple yet Spektacular. We’re in the early stages of building something really great and that requires a lot of hands on deck and a focus on execution. In this journey, we uncover joy in simplicity, obsess over the experience, pivot quickly and always reach for excellence.
Tenacity. The endless pursuit of customer love! We believe in collaboration, transparency, integrity, trust, listening, doing what is right, and always going above and beyond for our team and customers.
Belonging. We strive to build a company culture inclusive of all voices, differences of opinions, and the permission to be our authentic selves. We accept and celebrate what makes us unique and connects us to one another.
Enjoy the Journey. Love what you do and who you do it with! We embrace joy and kindness and we bring our authentic selves to work each day. We seek to share our optimism and compassion with everyone around us.
About the Team
At Spekit, we strive to be the change we seek. And the change we seek is a wealth of diversity in technology and the workplace. As a company with two female founders, we know that diverse and inclusive cultures drive innovative results. We’ve committed as an organization to elevate underrepresented minorities in technology through awareness, partnerships and even hosting our own scholarships to do our part in changing the status quo. If this sounds like the right place for you, we'd love to chat!
