Requirements
- BS degree in Computer Science, a similar technical field of study or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of industry experience in large-scale distributed systems
- 8+ years of hands-on, professional software development experience in one or more general purpose programming languages (Go, Python)
- Experienced with GraphQL, REST, HTTP, Thrift basics, and the ability to design and implement maintainable APIs
- Experienced with system integrations with internal and external tools
- A track record of developing and improving highly scalable and reliable serving systems
- Strong organizational skills, the ability to prioritize tasks and to deliver projects on schedule
- Excellent communication skills. You partner effectively with teams in a fully remote environment and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences
Responsibilities
- Lead key technical and design decisions across our program management tooling, goaling tool framework, and internal/external integrations strategy
- Work cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute on product and business strategy and build novel products and features that our users will love
- Contribute to the full development cycle: technical design, development, test, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code and design docs, giving feedback on product specs and mocks
- Contribute meaningfully to team strategy. We give everyone a seat at the table and encourage active participation in planning for the future. Don’t just come along for the ride
- Participate with a team of thoughtful, fast-moving, and motivated engineers. Contribute to standards that improve developer workflows, recommend best practices, and help mentor junior engineers on the team to grow their technical expertise
- Move fast while balancing quality. We can’t afford extensive processes, and we also can’t afford show-stopping bugs. We need someone who can balance speed with quality while quickly building brand-new products or improving workflows.
Preferred Qualifications
- Contributions to open-source backend libraries
- Knowledge in data engineering including design, development and implementation of complex systems and data pipelines
- Knowledge of backend languages (Go, Python) to prototype integration layers
- Experience with AI tools that maximise productivity
