Do you enjoy turning complex data into powerful, actionable insights? Do you take pride in building software that helps people work smarter, not harder? If you’re a problem-solver who loves working across the full stack, we want to hear from you!

At Expel, we’re looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer to join our Workbench Reporting & Dashboards team.

• Building high-quality, scalable software that meets both business and technical goals.
• Ensuring the platform is reliable, fast, and intuitive for our users.
• Being an active participant in our culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

We believe in building a supportive environment where you can grow, contribute, and thrive. If you’re passionate about delivering real impact through data and technology, and you want to work with a talented and motivated team, we’d love to hear from you!

How We Run Teams

We build and run teams where everyone is pulling in the same direction and is learning from each other:

• We work out of a shared backlog
• We peer-review everything
• We pair-program when it makes sense
• We do regular blame-free retros

Work Location

This is a remote position on a fully remote team within Ireland.

Our headquarters is in Herndon, Virginia (about 30 minutes drive from the US Capitol in Washington D.C.). While our HQ is in the U.S., we are a global company! Most of our team works remotely on a day-to-day basis, and we support collaboration through a variety of online tools designed for remote teamwork.

We come together as a team in Dublin when it makes sense to collaborate in-person, usually once per month. We also hold team touchdowns in Dublin three-to-four times per year, with guests from other Expel locations and team activities.
