Requirements
  • 3+ years of professional experience building and debugging distributed systems in production environments.
  • You are a Full Stack Engineer with an emphasis on frontend development while maintaining a robust backend expertise.
  • You bring enthusiasm to all aspects, from enhancing UX to crafting API designs with meticulous attention and respect.
  • You’re interested in learning new languages and technologies. We use JavaScript/TypeScript/React, Go and Clojure, MongoDB and PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ, but it’s okay if you haven’t yet.
  • You've developed skills in navigating and crafting the dynamics of a rapidly growing company with a remote-first culture: quickly adapting when priorities change and making conscious tradeoffs with incomplete information.
Responsibilities
  • Design and build new features, simplify existing services and scale our systems as we rapidly grow and evolve.
  • Write sustainable, testable, high-quality, high-performance code.
  • Support, maintain, and debug microservices in a complex distributed system.
  • Foster a culture of observability and monitoring: use operational data to help your team increase the stability, performance, and usage of our systems.
  • Partner with members of a multi-functional team and other collaborators to set the direction of our product: learn about our business problems, explore solutions, weigh design tradeoffs, write effective user stories, and prioritize them to deliver maximum value in a balanced, incremental fashion.
