The Role
We are looking for Senior/Staff Backend Software Engineers who are great problem solvers, enjoy collaborating with others (not just engineers) that value well-written and tested code. You’ll be working together with various members and teams to achieve your goals - You’ll dive deep into how we currently work and help us optimize it as you grow into your role. We’re just getting started, so joining us now means a LOT of influence on the direction we’re going.
You’ll be joining a very smart and collaborative team. We ask hard questions and challenge each other to improve our work continually. We are self-driven and motivated, even when working remotely. As a remote team each member is responsible for communicating clearly and taking ownership of their projects, from concept right through to deployment.
Location Expectations: This is a remote position.
What You'll Own
- We look for engineers with strong product instincts who can take ownership of projects from start to finish.
- Design and drive ways of working that set teams up to deliver high performance and quality software at speed.
- Tech Stack: Primarily use React and VueJS front ends with NodeJS backends, written with Typescript. The rest of our stack includes MySQL, Postgres, AWS (DynamoDB, Lambda, ECS, CDK, Glue, Firehose, EventBridge), Snowflake and GraphQL. We have a Symfony + Doctrine PHP monolith with Twig templates, too. Also we have our social scheduling tool built in Laravel.
- Collaborate with, inspire and motivate a global squad of designers, PMs and engineers across North America and Australia to enable effective execution towards ambitious outcomes.
- You will work in cross-functional teams, where you will have real ownership over a problem end to end.
Who We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent and 6+ years of Software Engineering experience. Advanced degrees (Master's or PhD) will be a plus.
- An appreciation for maintaining core applications, their development and upkeep
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Experience leading developing new technology for established teams. An engineer that can design durable, extensible systems while also feeling comfortable building a first version quickly to validate then iterate. Ability to drive operational efficiency improvements through the delivery of solutions that optimize performance, reliability, and efficiency
- Proficiency in full-stack development, familiarity with application development technologies (Web, Typescript, and PostgreSQL, GraphQL) and experience in backend technologies (such as Node.js, Python, AWS).
- Experience in data-driven optimization, including familiarity with databases, data modeling, and data analysis tools and techniques (e.g., SQL, NoSQL, data warehouses, Snowflake, BigQuery, etc.).
- Experience in conducting experiments and A/B testing to evaluate the effectiveness of different growth strategies, features, and user experiences, and iterating based on data-driven findings.
