Come help us realize our vision of becoming the world's leading online scheduling and local commerce platform!

You will lead the effort to design and develop data migration tools and processes that enable new customers to go live with MyTime's Point of Sale / Appointment Scheduling / CRM solution. New customers cannot go live on our platform until you've completed your work, so this role is vital to the growth of the company.  

You'll work with the SAAS implementation manager to understand the customer's needs and integration points. You'll need to be creative and detail oriented as you develop custom approaches to extract, convert and migrate data such as clients, appointments and transactions from legacy systems into MyTime.  You'll need to determine when MyTime will be the master and when we will be a client of another system with real-time or asynchronous connections. In some cases, you'll also lead or assist with software development of custom features for the client that are 'must haves' before they can go live.

As a software engineer, you should be generally passionate about coding and have an interest in building applications with high usability, scalability, and test coverage. In your everyday work, you should continuously contribute to good overall software design with the goal to achieve a highly structured large scale software product. You should also maintain a high awareness of development industry trends and best practices.

In addition to your passion for coding, you should also want to help in other aspects of building a new company: Designing features, making good product decisions, and building a culture of excellence. We're seeking engineers who are ready to attack deep technical challenges as well as have an impactful role in product and company development!
