Senior Software Engineer, Reporting Data Curation

Are you passionate about designing large-scale reporting systems that power mission‑critical analytics and decision‑making? Do you enjoy mentoring others and shaping the technical direction of large‑scale platforms? Are you a problem‑solver who thrives in fast‑paced environments and loves tackling complex data querying challenges? If so, we invite you to be a part of our Reporting team.

The Ridgeline Reporting team builds and maintains the infrastructure that powers both external operational reporting and internal data accessibility across the platform. We’re responsible for designing data querying systems, scaling our service to meet increasingly large customer volumes, and enabling fast, reliable access to complex datasets. As a member of this team, you’ll contribute to a technical foundation that supports everything from core product experiences to strategic insights.

We embrace tools like Git Hub Copilot and Cursor AI to accelerate development and reduce friction, allowing engineers to focus on creative, high‑leverage problem solving. We’re looking for engineers who are excited to drive architectural decisions, mentor others, and build high‑performance systems that scale with the business.

At Ridgeline, how we work matters as much as what we build. Ridgeliners act like owners, choose growth over comfort, and communicate with transparency. We assume positive intent, bias toward action, and bring solutions— we celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and thrive in a resilient, collaborative, high‑performing culture. If the Ridgeline Way excites you, we’d love to meet you.
