Job description

Join to apply for the Software Development Engineer role at Menza

This range is provided by Menza. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more.

Base pay range

At Menza, we’re rethinking how consumer brands use data. Right now, data is scattered, manual, and slow to act on. We’re building a platform that centralizes data, automates reporting, and proactively surfaces insights—so brands can spend less time wrangling spreadsheets and more time making decisions that move the needle.

We’re a small but mighty team, and we’re looking for a Software Development Engineer who’s excited to build with us from the ground up.

What You’ll Do

• Work across the stack: from designing clean, scalable APIs to crafting intuitive front-end features.
• Solve hard, messy, and interesting technical problems around data integration, performance, and scalability.
• Own projects end-to-end, from idea to deploy, with plenty of room to make architectural decisions.
• Collaborate closely with founders, customers, and teammates to ship fast, learn fast, and iterate.
• Be “all hands on deck” — we’re early, which means you’ll wear many hats and have a direct impact on product, culture, and company direction.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong coding fundamentals (language-agnostic, but we use TypeScript, Python, and SQL).
• Curiosity and comfort with problem-solving in ambiguous situations—if something’s broken, you dive in until it’s fixed.
• Experience (or excitement to learn) building with modern frameworks, cloud infra, and data pipelines.
• A bias for action—you care more about solving the problem than being “perfect” on the first try.
• Someone who thrives in an early-stage startup environment: flexible, collaborative, and not afraid to get scrappy.

Why Menza

• You’ll join at the ground floor of a YC-backed company with strong product-market fit signals.
• Your work won’t just be code — it’ll directly shape the product, customer experience, and trajectory of the company.
• We care deeply about building with our engineers, not just around them. You’ll have a voice in technical direction, culture, and strategy.
• We’re function-first but design-aware: building technology that’s powerful under the hood but simple for non-technical users.

If you love solving tough problems, want to build real things that real customers rely on, and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves, we’d love to hear from you.
