Sr. Software Engineer at AlertMedia - Remote Mexico — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This role is fully remote within Mexico, with an optional office in Mexico City's Reforma district. If you're a digital nomad or location-flexible engineer based in Mexico, this is a strong fit — but note that you must have the legal right to work in Mexico without sponsorship, which limits this to Mexican residents or those with existing work authorization.
Timezone and schedule flexibility: The job description does not specify rigid fixed hours, and the Agile/async-friendly toolset (Slack, JIRA, Git) suggests some schedule flexibility. However, emergency-response software means on-call availability during incidents could be expected — worth clarifying during interviews.
Nomad-friendly perks:
- Monthly work-from-home stipend — helps offset coworking space costs whether you're in CDMX, Guadalajara, Oaxaca, or Mérida.
- All equipment provided (laptop, monitor, accessories) — no need to invest in your own setup.
- Language immersion program supports bilingual professionals.
Cost of living context (Mexico): Without disclosed salary figures, direct comparison is difficult, but senior engineers at PE-backed SaaS companies in Mexico typically earn MXN 80,000–140,000/month. In Mérida or Oaxaca, that salary goes significantly further than in CDMX. If you're location-flexible within Mexico, mid-sized cities offer lower rent with solid internet infrastructure — ideal for this role.
The Mexico-only restriction means this isn't a true global nomad role, but within Mexico it offers genuine location freedom.
Do work that matters.
At AlertMedia, we help organizations protect their people, operations, and brand. Our modern Risk Intelligence and Response platform empowers teams to detect emerging threats, assess impact, and respond with confidence. We believe building resilience should be simpler—and it starts with bringing critical information and workflows together in one unified platform.
Our core values drive us in our important mission of keeping people safe & informed:

- Our reputation is priceless
- Hard work pays off
As one of the fastest-growing software companies in the country, AlertMedia is looking for a Sr. Software Engineer with full-stack experience. This role is on our Incident Response team. Customers use Incident Response during an active emergency — to declare an incident, assess who and what is affected, assign tasks, and coordinate the response across the organization. As an AI-forward company, we actively use modern AI tools such as Claude, Codex, and other emerging technologies to help our engineers work smarter, move faster, and build better products.
Who you are:
You thrive in a collaborative engineering environment that plays to everyone's strengths with a willingness to work across the entire stack. You've developed scalable production web applications in Python/Django/Next.js/React. You design for people operating under pressure, and you think as carefully about the failure paths as the happy path. You care about the quality of your work, the impactful product you help build, and the team you help build it with. You have AWS (or other cloud) experience and are willing to learn from people with both more and less experience than you. You are a user of AI-assisted development tools that improve engineering workflows, code quality, and team productivity.
What you get to do every day:
- Design and develop features for the AlertMedia Incident Response product
- Build features that hold up during live emergencies — correct under load, and predictable when a dependency degrades
- Learn the AlertMedia platform, its tools, and how customers use them
- Work with Python, Django, Next.js, React, Node, and other web technologies
- Use AI-enabled tools such as Claude, Codex, and other emerging platforms to support development, problem-solving, documentation, and productivity
- Work in an Agile-based environment using tools like Git, JIRA, Jenkins, and Slack
- Help maintain AlertMedia's technology advantage through innovative development and by contributing new ideas for leveraging technology in our product line
- Use strong verbal and written communication skills in collaboration with other engineering and product teams
- Contribute to AlertMedia's culture, values and vision for the future
What you bring to the role:
- Bachelor's degree in a technical field such as computer science, computer engineering or related field preferred
- 6+ years of experience building scalable web applications; Python/Django/React/Node tech stack preferred
- Experience with Linux-based containers using tools like Docker or Kubernetes
- Experience with Amazon Web Services (or other cloud services) is required
- Experience with PostgreSQL, Redis, and other storage technologies is required
- Established practice of writing unit and integration tests
- Proficiency using AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, or similar) across the development lifecycle
- Collaborative mindset to partner with principal engineers and leadership to drive architectural evolution for a critical application
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage working on multiple projects in parallel
- The ability and desire to work in a fast-paced, challenging environment
- Outstanding communication skills and ability to effectively work cross-functionally
- Strong English proficiency (written and oral) is required
Location: This role is remote in Mexico. We do have a Mexico City office in the Reforma area if you'd like to go into the office and collaborate with our engineering team; otherwise it is a fully remote position based in Mexico.
Sponsorship: AlertMedia does not sponsor candidates. Must have the legal right to work in Mexico without sponsorship now and in the future.
