Our tech stack is built with a Microservices approach and includes TypeScript, Node, Serverless, GraphQL, MongoDB, and is distributed in AWS.

What you'll be doing:

• Be a true expert in software development, showing top-of-industry expertise when it comes to how to write code and build tech!
• Be vocal about efficiency on your team; obsess over practices like automating testing, or continuous delivery while also finding time to improve developer experience and devops tooling
• Champion scalability, code quality, security, and solving technical debt
• Be the example of what’s possible to other developers on the team and help to expand their knowledge through mentorship and pairing up
• Ensure we’re building the highest quality software by “owning the code” and collaborating with other developers on planning, code reviews, infrastructure, testing and release
• Participate in community events, interviewing, onboarding, training, presentations, and anywhere where you can show initiative
• Shape the future of our system design and architecture through leading technical planning and collaborating with Product Managers to define what we build next

• Confidence with concepts like coupling/cohesion, idempotency, distributed transactions, asynchronous workflows, or event sourcing
• Ability to build complex and cutting-edge internet applications from end-to-end, while considering problems that only appear as a product and team scales up (performance optimization, etc)
• Experience not only coding but also planning how something will work, and sharing that plan with others prior to digging into your IDE
• 10+ years of experience in software engineering
• Being on pace with the current tech ecosystem, state of the art, trends, and announcements - not just what you need to know for a job
• Expertise in back-end development and development best practices, including data, APIs, queues, security, scalable systems, and business logic. Knowledge of microservices architecture is a plus
• Familiarity with different types of data stores and databases - preferably beyond exclusively knowing about SQL databases
• Excitement to learn new technologies - not knowing something just makes you want to learn and master it
• Experience working with bigger teams and bigger projects that span multiple teams - startup experience is also a plus
• Fluent or expert level understanding of at least one programming language, experience in multiple languages is often a plus, including the ability to articulate the pros and cons of a stack or how to mitigate risks found in different technologies
• Understanding of cloud infrastructure, devops and CI/CD, including basics of containerized services, serverless systems, and networking
• Knowledge of web and/or mobile technologies, and an ability to work with designers to implement front ends to spec
