*Please note we're only considering local candidates to the Buffalo, NY or Rochester, NY markets or candidates from outside these markets need to be open for relocation. This is not a remote role*
About The Role:
Valmar Holdings is looking for a Senior Software Engineer who doesn’t just write code—they build engines of innovation. Someone who’s as comfortable building clean, scalable systems as they are prompting tools like Claude Code or ChatGPT to ideate, refactor, and move fast.
What You'll Do:
- Architect and build scalable, resilient APIs and services using modern frameworks (React, Laravel, Go, etc.)
- Collaborate with the team to turn concepts into real, shipped features with impact
- Use AI-enhanced development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to prototype, test, and accelerate your workflow
- Work across our stack: AWS (ECS, PHP, Go, Aurora), serverless infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and more
- Bring a startup mindset: hands-on, adaptable, and fast—but never sloppy
- Contribute to code quality and documentation while mentoring junior engineers when needed
What You Bring:
- 5+ years of experience in software development, with proven ability to deliver in a high-velocity environment
- Strong knowledge of backend systems architecture, API design, and event-driven workflows
- Familiarity with modern tooling (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, GPT-powered automation) and a drive to stay on the frontier of development
- Experience with fintech, payments, or highly regulated environments is a plus but not required
- You thrive under pressure, hit deadlines, and never compromise on integrity or quality
Why Join Us?
- Build with cutting-edge tools, rapid feedback loops, and very little red tape
- Work directly with company leadership to shape high-impact software that reaches thousands
- Competitive compensation, flexible work, and the chance to be part of something big and growing fast
Benefits:
- Competitive salary with performance-based bonus opportunities
- 401(k) with guaranteed employer contribution
- Discretionary profit sharing
- Excellent health insurance with generous employer contribution
- Voluntary dental insurance
- Paid time off and hybrid work options
- Job-specific learning and training opportunities
- Supportive work environment with mentorship and leadership growth
Our Core Values:
- Relentless Execution – We move fast and deliver results.
- Client Obsessed – We don’t just serve; we WOW.
- Hungry & Humble – We ask questions, seek feedback, and grow every day.
- Resourceful Problem Solvers – Challenges fuel our creativity.
- 1% Better Every Day – Incremental gains lead to massive wins.
- Always Keep Your Promises – We hold ourselves and each other to the highest standards.
