Workshop is looking for a driven backend software engineer to help develop and design our software solutions. We’re a fast growing, venture-backed startup based in Omaha, Nebraska. Omaha-based candidates are preferred but will consider remote within ± 2 hours CST for the right candidate.
As a Senior Backend Software Engineer, you will:
- Work closely with our product & design team to translate and execute product vision into scalable product.
- Be a stakeholder in engineering and product strategy — this isn’t just another place to knock down story points and tickets — you’ll have meaningful and direct ownership in your work.

- Maintain a strong understanding of modern software development methodologies and their best practices
- Have a deep knowledge and experience of object oriented programming in dynamically typed languages like Ruby or Python. Deep experience with Ruby on Rails is preferred — we use Ruby on Rails with some Node & Typescript to power our backend (and Vue on the frontend).
