Software Engineer - Dallas, TX

Overview

Corporate Tools is hiring a Software Engineer in Dallas, TX. You will be a traditional company employee. This role is remote for now, but we like to keep things flexible. There may be times when we’ll ask you to come into the office, think of it as an occasional change of scenery. You’ll be working 40 hours a week and, of course, enjoy great company benefits.

At Corporate Tools, you’ll join a tight-knit crew of engineers with wildly different backgrounds, experiences, and superpowers. Some of us spend our days crafting shiny new Rails applications, while others enjoy spelunking through legacy Rack apps and uncovering the hidden gems of Plain Old Ruby. We love trying new tools, technologies, and ideas - but we’re not chasing trends for the sake of it. If it solves a real problem and helps the business, we’re interested.

We’re looking for someone who’s excited to learn, eager to share what they know, and comfortable owning a project from start to finish. Our team knows that great engineers aren’t all built from the same template. Some are CI/CD fanatics, some can make SQL sing, and some are happiest writing elegant Ruby all day long. While we all work across the stack, we also embrace the fact that everyone has their favorite corner of the playground.

One thing you’ll learn quickly: we’re nimble. Priorities can shift, new opportunities pop up, and sometimes the most important problem today wasn’t even on the radar yesterday. We don’t see that as chaos—we see it as an opportunity to make a real impact. If you enjoy variety, adapting on the fly, and tackling whatever challenge is most valuable in the moment, you’ll fit right in.

Bring your strengths, grow your skills, and help us build great software alongside people who genuinely enjoy solving hard problems together. What’s in a title? At Corporate Tools, we don’t put much stock in titles. They’re helpful for job postings, but once you’re here, what matters is your impact, growth, and the unique strengths you bring to the team. We use levels instead of traditional titles because they give us more flexibility to support career development without forcing people into rigid boxes. Through regular conversations, you’ll have clear expectations, opportunities to grow, and ongoing discussions about challenging work, progression, and compensation. Our goal is simple: create an environment where talented people can keep learning, taking on new challenges, and building a career that’s meaningful to them. And if you’d like a traditional title for LinkedIn, post away.
