Paperless Post is seeking software engineers to help build the services architecture and API gateway framework that support best-in-class discover and shopping experiences for a complex network of over 100 million users. As a key member of our Commerce team, you’ll help craft new services and iterate on existing ones in Golang. You’ll work on all parts of the development cycle and in many different areas of code as part of a deeply collaborative team with a robust development process.

The Commerce team is a brand new team we are in the process of bootstrapping. The team's mission is to build flexible backend systems to power all purchasing experiences on Paperless Post. The team’s ownership spans over multiple technology stacks and includes systems that power payments, entitlements, and order management to name a few.

A little about the engineering team

The PP Engineering team, a highly collaborative group of developers and technologists, is charged with building and refining a consumer-facing product that millions of people interact with each month. Our individual feature teams each focus on a unique piece of the user experience and are made up of engineers, product managers, QA, and product designers. We prioritize creativity and continuing education, and our ongoing commitment to quality code shows in our pragmatic but brave approach to technology.

What you'll do here

• Design and develop maintainable, reliable, scalable and testable software.
• Collaborate with engineers on other teams to help define and plan useful services that supports our technical and product vision.
• Deploy regular code releases to production and test environments in Agile release cycles.

You'll be successful in this role if you have...

• Passion for building systems in a sound, pragmatic and iterative fashion.
• Objectivity when making technical decisions, e.g. build versus buy, refactor versus rewrite, using Go versus Node, etc.
• Ability to articulate reasoning for decisions (e.g. what were the trade offs? Why did we choose this over that?)
• Desire and aptitude to learn new technologies.
• Know when to build new systems and when to leverage and expand existing systems.

Company-wide we enjoy an amazing ecosystem of an even gender split and a balance of engineers and designers. Because Paperless Post isn’t supported by ad revenue, we can focus our efforts on creating and improving on the ideal version of our platform, product, content, and partnerships for our users.

We are proud that Paperless Post helped over 70 million people connect in the real world last year. Our product is global, and we are committed to being a company where everyone belongs. We encourage people of all backgrounds, races, genders, and abilities to apply!
