Senior Software Engineer

At PayIt, we have a big vision to simplify the way that everyday citizens interact with government agencies. We are rapidly expanding and looking for engineers who can help us build a world-class Gov-Tech platform. 
 
As a well-funded growth stage startup, we recently raised over $100M+ from Insight Partners to continue to build on our best-in-class platform. We have a track record of success being named one of the Nation's Top Ten Government Tech Startups of the Year as well as one of Kansas City's Top Ten Startups to Watch. We are actively looking for people who are excited about our mission, those who are excited about helping our journey to make things like sitting at the DMV, getting a Driver’s License renewed, or paying a court ticket mobile and quick.
 
About the Senior Software Engineer Opportunity:
Most importantly to you, our engineers are empowered to work autonomously within a mature agile environment, leveraging modern CI/CD tools to help you make the most of your engineering skills. New employees are typically committing in their first week. 

We know how to have fun and work toward something bigger than ourselves. PayIt has a newly expanded workspace, flexible work hours, unlimited vacation, and enough personality to fill the city. We are located in the Crossroads District of KCMO, where we care about the problems we are solving for citizens and the partnerships we are forging with the government. 
 
PayIt values its clients, employees, and partners and this shows in all our efforts. We are passionate about bringing simple solutions to every constituent and every government team to make all interactions seamless, easy and meaningful.
