Principal software engineer Jobs in Kansas City, KS

LODAS built the first secondary market for real estate and alternative investments and is now creating the first fully automated transfer agent, already shaking up a $20 TRILLION industry. So, are you going to hop on board and help revolutionize it with us, or just sit back and let FOMO take over? (We both know the right answer, so get the heck over here!)

BENEFITS

Wonderful Paradoxes. We have a special culture that embraces being a "wonderful paradox." Each of us is professionally driven but personally laid back. Rational but kind-hearted. Smart but humble. Self-starters but highly collaborative. Strategy-minded but execution-oriented.

Dolla' Dolla' Billz Y'all. We have an entirely unique approach to salary that makes it ridiculously competitive, fair, and equitable. You'll absolutely plotz when you hear about it.

A Little Walkin' Around Money. All employees are eligible for our discretionary bonus program, which is distinctive because it is based on us hitting certain milestones and is paid throughout the year as we hit them.

Retire to Costa Rica. How do you generate REAL wealth? Equity. And every LODAS Markets employee receives stock options when they join as well as every year of employment starting on their 2 1 / 2-year anniversaries.

Be Responsible Like Your Parents Always Wanted. We don't have a 401(k) yet, but at some point we will, and when we do, you'll be able to save like mad and retire to Costa Rica TWICE.

Try Out Costa Rica Before You Retire There. We have an unprescribed vacation policy, which means there is no set limit of vacation days, and as long as you're killing it at your job and your manager is fine with it, you can take as much vacation as you want. Guilt free!

Oh Canada! Currently, we cover 100% of employees' medical, dental, and vision premiums in our healthcare plan (although that policy is always subject to change given how bonkers healthcare rates can get). Want a set of gold-plated grillz? It's on us! (Well, as long as our insurance covers it, which it probably doesn't.)
