Back-End Software Engineer

Kinnami Software Corporation is building from an AmiShare technology prototype and needs an early-stage Back-End Software Engineer to help turn it into a testable, demonstrable system. This Boston, MA onsite role is designed for someone who can contribute to the first minimum viable product and grow into a lead engineer as AmiShare continues to develop.

What you’ll work on

You’ll support the productization of AmiShare by building a simulator used to test and demonstrate AmiShare behavior across multiple computing nodes. This simulator will help validate the prototype and make it easier to present and iterate on the technology.

You’ll also assist with implementing the first minimum viable product for AmiShare, with the goal of taking on ownership for continued development after the initial release.

As the company grows, the role can expand to include additional responsibilities within Kinnami.
