• Strong programming experience in systems-level languages, particularly Go and C.
• Deep understanding of computing fundamentals including algorithms, data structures, networking, and distributed systems.
• Experience building backend systems with a focus on efficiency, reliability, and security.

• Willingness to work full-time on-site in our Chicago office.

Why work with us

At SuperFile, we believe that happy, healthy employees are the foundation of a thriving workplace. That’s why we offer a benefits package that supports your health, well-being, and work-life balance. When you join our team, you’ll gain access to a range of valuable benefits, including health, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k)-retirement savings plan to help you achieve long-term financial security, as well as a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) policy that gives you the flexibility to take time when you need it most. Here’s what you can expect:

• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Stay healthy with access to robust health insurance plans, including medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family. Our plans are designed to offer flexibility, affordability, and access to top healthcare providers.
• Affordable Premiums & Low Co-Pays: We work to keep costs low, so your paycheck goes further. Our plans feature affordable premiums and competitive co-pays, ensuring you get the care you need without financial stress.
• Coverage for Your Loved Ones: We offer health, dental, and vision plans for dependents and partners, giving you peace of mind that your entire family is cared for.
• 401K: We know how important it is to plan for the future, and we’re committed to helping you build financial security. Our 401(k) plan is designed to give you the tools and support you need to prepare for retirement. Here’s how we make it easy for you to save:
  • Eligibility: Available to employees aged 21 with one year of service.
  • Employee Contribution: 1%–98% of W-2 wages, with contributions always 100% vested.
  • Employer Match: SuperFile matches 100% of the first 1% of compensation and 50% of the next 5% of compensation. Safe Harbor contributions will be 100% vested after two years of service.
• Accrued PTO: Your PTO is earned incrementally with each pay period, so you build up your time off throughout the year. This means you’ll have access to your earned PTO as soon as it accrues, allowing you to plan your time away in a way that works for you.
• Earn Up to 80 Hours of PTO Annually: Every year, you’ll have the opportunity to accrue up to a total of 80 hours (2 full weeks) of paid time off. Once you hit the 80-hour maximum, accruals pause until you use some of your available time. This ensures you have ample opportunity to use your time off.
• Start Earning From Day One: No waiting period required — you begin accruing PTO from your very first paycheck, so you can start planning your time off right away.
• Take Time When You Need It: Whether you need a vacation, personal day, sick day, mental health break, or a day to handle personal matters, our flexible PTO policy has you covered.
• Rollover Options: Roll over unused PTO into the following year, ensuring you don’t lose the time you’ve earned.
• Paid Holidays: In addition to your accrued PTO, enjoy 13 paid holidays throughout the year, giving you even more time to spend with family, friends, and loved ones.
