  • Design and implement migration strategies for legacy code to move existing functionality out of our monoliths, and into modern services
  • Design and contribute features to our shared libraries, which provide core functionality used by all of our services
  • Mentor junior engineers on the team and assist in their professional growth and development
  • Support production services on a rotation
  • Review design docs and pull requests for relevant services and repositories
  • Support other engineering organizations, such as Site Reliability, as they bring in new platform features and testing technologies

About you:

  • 5+ years of experience overall writing production software using a server-side language such as Go, C#, Ruby
  • Experience designing and developing APIs
  • Experience with relational data modeling, and in-depth knowledge of an RDBMS
  • Experience developing web applications
  • Experience writing maintainable unit tests
  • Working knowledge of security best practices
  • Proven track record of working cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Design, and business stakeholders

  • Experience working on distributed systems
  • Experience working with Kafka or equivalent messaging bus
  • Experience with AWS (S3, EC2, SQS, etc.)
  • Familiarity with Payroll/HR Software
  • BS/BA degree or equivalent experience

This position has a salary range of $150,000 - 190,000 per annum.
