We’re looking for a Software Engineer who can drive projects independently – understanding the overall business and specific project requirements, collaborating with others to agree on the right technical approach, and then implementing changes with high quality and reliability. You’ll own key parts of how we set prices, bill customers, process payments, and generate reports and insights about their usage.
Our codebase encompasses millions of lines of code written by following the best development practices, careful code architecture, and an organization around rapid releases. We also follow all modern design patterns and coding standards, as well as rely on third-party libraries and contribute back to the community.
Responsibilities:
- Write well-crafted, maintainable code and collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineering teams to deliver complex features from idea to execution.
- Manage project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables, while considering business context and failure modes in design decisions.
- Contribute to defining the roadmap and architecture, and identify opportunities for process improvement and automation.
- Have a good grasp and ability to explain the various tradeoffs made in decisions
- Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and distribute knowledge
- Lead projects from idea to positive execution
- Join the on-call rotation, triaging and resolving incidents/issues across applications and platforms.
- Unblock, support, effectively communicate and obtain buy-in across teams to achieve results
- Share your knowledge by giving brown bags, tech talks, and evangelizing appropriate tech and engineering best practices
- Participate in hiring activities: take part in technical interviews, live coding, share detailed feedback to hire the best technical talent in the function.
Experience:
- 3+ years of software engineering industry experience
- Experience with object-oriented programming (bonus points for Python or Go)
- Proven experience in designing, debugging, and managing fault-tolerant, highly available, large-scale distributed systems.
- Experience working with databases, relational or NoSQL
- Experience designing, building and improving a set of team owned components
- Experience defining API schemas and developing backend services in a microservices environment
- Culture of investigating and solving problems outside your expertise
- Culture of going out of your way to help out your fellow engineer
- Ability to communicate in English in writing, meetings, and presentations
