• Debug and solve critical production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
• Mentor engineers to help them grow
• Collaborate with stakeholders across the company to build new features at large scale, while improving internal engineering standards, tooling, and processes
• Collaborate effectively in a distributed and hybrid team, maintaining open communication and strong connections with colleagues
Requirements
We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Minimum requirements
• 2+ years of industry software engineering experience (does not include internships or co-ops)
• Strong coding skills in any programming language (we understand new languages can be learned on the job, so our interview process is language agnostic)
• Strong collaboration skills; can work across workstreams within your team and contribute to your peers' success
• Ability to thrive with a high degree of autonomy and ownership, with an entrepreneurial mindset
• Interested in working as a generalist across varying technologies and stacks to solve problems and delight both internal and external users
• Good understanding and practical knowledge of cloud-based services (e.g., gRPC, GraphQL, Docker/Kubernetes, AWS, etc.)
