Senior Software Engineer
Hi everyone - I’m Ahmed Avais, Senior Manager of Engineering at OpenSesame. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our fully remote team (Eastern Time Zone) and help strengthen our use of Extreme Programming (XP) practices across the stack.
At OpenSesame, you’ll work with a global engineering org that believes in pairing, test-driven development, and continuous improvement - not as buzzwords, but as daily practices.
You’ll:
- Work across our modern web stack (PHP, TypeScript, JavaScript, cloud infrastructure)
- Pair program daily, ship continuously, and write tests first
- Mentor other engineers through code, feedback, and example
- Help evolve a legacy codebase with care and craft
You’ll join a remote team of 14 engineers across North America, Latin America, the UK, and India.
We’re looking for engineers who:
- Have strong XP experience (TDD, pairing, refactoring)
- Have improved legacy systems incrementally
- Can mentor others through collaboration
If that sounds like you - and you’re based in the United States - apply here:

If you're strong in all three areas—XP practices, legacy code, and mentorship—please email me with an explanation after you apply so I can flag your application for priority treatment. My email address is ahmed.avais at the domain in the link above.
Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing from you. No agencies, please.
