Software Engineer I

About the role

For over 20 years, Smartsheet has empowered teams to manage work seamlessly and scale solutions smarter. Now, in our most ambitious chapter yet, we are uniting human teams with AI agents. By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day.

We are hiring a Software Engineer I to join our Engineering team. You will get your hands on full-stack services, dig into distributed systems problems, and work right at the intersection of traditional software engineering and AI-driven development. We are not just dabbling in AI here. We use it to write better code, catch bugs faster, and troubleshoot smarter, and we want engineers who want to get good at that too and help their teammates do the same. You will ship real features, sit in on architectural conversations that actually shape the product, and grow alongside a team that cares as much about doing good work as they do about doing meaningful work.

You Will:

● Build scalable front-end and back-end services for the next generation of applications at Smartsheet (Kotlin, Java, Typescript, React)

● Solve challenging distributed systems problems and work with modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes) ● Take part in code reviews and architectural discussions as you work with other software engineers and product managers

● Forge a strong partnership with product management and other key areas of the business

● Enhance existing application code with new features and strike a balance when making technical decisions (build vs refactor vs simplify)

● Actively use AI tools to improve personal and team efficiency across coding, testing, design, and troubleshooting, exploring AI integration opportunities within team processes and features, and coaching others on effective AI use

You Have:

● 1+ years software development experience building highly scalable, highly available applications

● 1+ years of programming experience with full stack technologies such Java, Kotlin, Python or TypeScript

● 1+ years of experience with cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, etc.)

● Experience developing, documenting, and supporting REST APIs

● 6+ months professional experience leveraging AI to improve personal productivity in service of building complex SaaS feature sets

● A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent practical experience

● Adaptable as priorities or problems change

● Ready to take ownership of your work and grow into bigger challenges

● A clear written and verbal communicator, able to explain your thinking in code reviews, documentation, and team discussions

● Legally eligible to work in the U.S. on an ongoing basis
