About Us

Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.).

Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone. Company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave).

Sparrow is headquartered in San Francisco with remote employees across the country. Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.

About The Role

We are growing quickly and looking for product-oriented full-stack software engineers to join our engineering team. In this role you will:

• Partner closely with other members of the engineering team to define, scope and execute on product requirements and team-level goals;
• Build and ship new features and enhancements to improve the user experience for employees and employers;
• Participate and invest in our engineering health and processes to ensure we are building sustainably and securely;
• Communicate effectively on progress and get unstuck when needed
  
  

About You

We are looking for people with:

• 2+ years of experience as a software engineer.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers and with other functions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to understand and execute in complex domains by breaking things down into manageable pieces.
• Experience with modern software tools and processes (git, CI/CD, testing, deployment, cloud platform services, etc).
• Experience with our technical stack (Django, React, Python, JS, Postgres, Heroku) is a plus but not required.
  
  

Ultimately, though, most important to us is someone who is passionate about applying technology to real difficult problems, who loves building beautiful useful products, and who finds our mission compelling. If that is you, please reach out to us!

Compensation

• This is a full-time salaried, exempt position. Compensation ranges from $100,000 to $140,000 and is based on your experience and legal state of residence.
  
  

Why Sparrow?

Our work at Sparrow is impactful. We help People teams with one of the hardest parts of their job, and we support employees at a time when they need it most. We’re driven by our mission, much like a nonprofit, but with the resources and scale of a fast-growing venture-backed company.
