Software Engineer (Fullstack/Backend/C++)

West Chester, Ohio | Full Time | In Office

Tiny Home Consulting is looking for a full time Software Engineer to join our growing engineering team.

While this role has a strong emphasis on backend systems and C++ development, our engineers aren't confined to a single layer of the stack. At Tiny Home Consulting, engineers collaborate across APIs, backend services, desktop applications, mobile technologies, and system architecture. We value developers who enjoy learning new technologies, solving challenging problems, and contributing wherever they can have the greatest impact.

We're a small but highly collaborative software company serving customers throughout the public safety and enterprise technology industries. Because of our size, every engineer has the opportunity to influence architecture, improve products, and help shape the direction of the company. We believe the best ideas can come from anyone, and we encourage every member of our team to challenge assumptions, propose new ideas, and continuously improve how we build software.

If you're looking for a place where your work has a visible impact, your teammates care about building quality software, and your ideas are genuinely valued, we'd love to meet you.
