Full Job Description

About PawnMate

PawnMate builds software for pawnshops, jewelry stores, buy/sell stores, and FFL dealers. Our platform powers real-world retail and transaction-based operations including inventory, loans, sales, reporting, compliance, customer communication, and eCommerce integrations.

We are a product-driven company serving businesses that rely on accuracy, reliability, performance, and practical software that works in the real world. This is an opportunity to join a platform with established customers, meaningful complexity, and clear room for technical improvement and growth.

About the Role

PawnMate is looking for a Lead Software Engineer to play a key role in the evolution of our platform. This is a senior, hands-on role with broad impact across product development, platform improvement, architecture, and engineering quality.

You will help design, build, improve, and maintain features across the PawnMate platform while contributing to the long-term health and modernization of the system. Our environment includes a mature Perl-based foundation, and we are looking for someone who can work effectively within that codebase while helping guide the platform forward with strong engineering judgment, modern development practices, and pragmatic technical leadership.

This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving real business problems, building reliable software, improving systems over time, and influencing how a growing SaaS platform is designed and developed.

What You’ll DoTechnical Leadership

Help shape the technical direction and long-term health of the PawnMate platform
Influence architecture, design decisions, and engineering standards across the codebase
Identify technical risks and drive practical solutions that improve scalability, maintainability, and reliability
Balance near-term product delivery with long-term platform improvement
Raise the quality bar through strong engineering practices, thoughtful reviews, and sound technical judgment

Hands-On Development

Design, develop, test, and maintain product features within the PawnMate platform
Work within and improve existing Perl-based systems
Contribute to modernization efforts using newer technologies and current best practices
Build and enhance APIs, integrations, reporting, automation, workflows, and customer-facing functionality
Improve performance, stability, observability, and developer efficiency
Write clean, maintainable, production-ready code

Product and Team Collaboration

Work closely with leadership and internal teams to understand business needs and customer workflows
Translate real operational problems into practical, scalable technical solutions
Contribute to product discussions, technical planning, and prioritization
Support a culture of accountability, quality, and continuous improvement

What We’re Looking ForRequired Skills and Experience

Strong professional software engineering experience
Deep experience with Perl or an understanding and ability to learn
Experience with modern programming languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or similar
Strong backend development skills
Solid experience with relational databases such as MySQL
Experience designing and working with APIs, integrations, and web-based applications
Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and performance optimization skills
Experience working in SaaS, cloud-based, or transaction-driven software environments
Ability to write clean, efficient, maintainable code
Strong problem-solving ability and sound technical decision-making
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a high-trust environment
Strong communication skills and the ability to turn business requirements into technical solutions

Preferred Experience

Experience working with legacy platforms while leading modernization efforts
Experience with POS, retail, financial, inventory-driven, or transaction-based systems
Experience with third-party integrations and production systems used by real customers
Familiarity with scalable software architecture and platform evolution
Experience mentoring other developers or informally leading technical direction

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a routine maintenance role. We are looking for a high-level engineer who wants to make a meaningful impact on a real product used by real businesses every day.

You will have the opportunity to:

Influence the future direction of the PawnMate platform
Help modernize a proven product with an established customer base
Solve practical engineering challenges tied directly to business outcomes
Work on software that powers mission-critical operations for customers
Take ownership of work that matters

Education

Degree or diploma in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field is preferred
Equivalent hands-on experience will also be considered

Pay: $140,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
