Senior Core Engineer, Meetup Pro
Getting together with real people in real life makes powerful things happen. Side hustles become careers, ideas become movements, and chance encounters become lifelong connections. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities. Show up. Change lives.
Thousands of businesses currently organize Meetups and ask how they can use the Meetup platform to connect their fans and followers in real life. So we recently launched Meetup Pro to help those organizations transform their audience into a community. We have signed up over 150 trial customers (including Google, Salesforce, Wordpress, MongoDB), and are adding more every day. We are looking for exceptional core Engineers to build that platform.
Core Engineers get to push code and deploy multiple times daily and work alongside a smart, friendly, dedicated cross-functional team to build the next generation of Meetup products. We're a JVM shop (Java and Scala), and open to teaching you functional programming. Our team is smart, visionary, supportive and, above all, we are excited by what we do!
What you get to do:
- Build back-end services and APIs that serve content for our mobile and web applications
- Collaborate with product and platform teams on new ideas and feature development
- Architect, design, and implement features across multiple areas of our product and platform
- Participate in code reviews in a continuous delivery environment
- State your opinions and contribute to an inclusive decision-making process
- Help re-architect and build our new services-oriented platform
- Learn new things and share knowledge with team members
Who you are:
- You are thrilled with the idea of helping grow local community worldwide
- Strengths in either a Functional or Object Oriented programming language
- Have good API development experience
- Exhibit strong database skills
- Know/like any of the tools we use: Scala, Java, Redis/MySQL, AWS
