Requirements
- Experience designing backend services & systems and scaling them in production.
- Experience leading projects, planning work, collaborating cross-functionally, and mentoring other engineers.
- Broad, high-level expertise across a modern application stack (covering e.g. databases, infrastructure, CI/CD, APIs, client apps, queueing, etc.).
- Deep, low-level expertise in one or more backend domains (e.g. databases, scaling, or distributed systems), in the technology/platform of your choice.
- Passion for both your craft (building things right) and achieving real-world impact (building the right things for our business & customers).
Responsibilities
- You may be a generalist who’s excited to work in many domains, or you may prefer to go deep in a few (e.g. helping us build an extensible rules engine or a highly reliable ledger).
- Besides writing & reviewing code, you’ll plan work, write tech specs & review design docs, lead projects, collaborate across disciplines (e.g. with PM, design, compliance & partnerships), and mentor other engineers.
