Where you’d fit.

  • Senior Software Engineer

    Engineering Columbus (on-site)

    About the role

    Build the systems that let a lean team cover a whole city — from ingesting the public record to the workspace people use on deadline. You’ll work across the stack and ship to real users every week.

    What we look for

    • A willingness to do things differently — you embrace AI-driven development and rethink old workflows instead of defending them
    • Fluency pairing with AI coding tools to move fast without lowering the bar for quality
    • A product and design mindset — at our size these roles collapse into one, and you’re eager to drive product and design decisions, not just implement specs
    • 7+ years building and shipping production software across the stack
    • Care for correctness in messy, real-world data
    • A bias to ship, watch real usage, and iterate

Why Pique

The work matters, and so do you.

  • Mission with stakes

    Your work reaches cities that lost their newsrooms. The impact is local and real.

  • Generous equity

    Early-stage ownership in a company backed by Drive Capital. You share the upside.

  • Full health coverage

    Medical, dental, and vision fully covered for you and your dependents.

  • Flexible, in person

    Columbus HQ, in the room together. Flexible hours, clustered meetings, and protected focus time.

  • Real ownership

    Small teams own problems end to end. You’ll ship in your first week.

  • Learning budget

    An annual stipend for books, courses, and conferences — journalism or code.
