The Opportunity:

Shutterstock is looking for top technologists to join our software engineering teams and help drive the future of our platform. You will be working with highly motivated and extremely talented engineers on backend services with quality, performance, and scale in mind at every step of the way. Our core belief is that the customers are our number one priority so we work hard to deliver value back to them with everything we do.

• Collaborating on the vision of the services under the team's ownership.
• Building the technology the right way: for us, this means simple, well-tested systems that gradually grow over time, and that provide plenty of insight into production performance.
• Engineers are expected to support systems they develop in production which involves on-call. The actual periods and frequency vary by team.

Requirements:

• At least 10+ years of relevant software development experience
• Experience working in an agile environment
• Very strong knowledge of how the Web works and how to make it efficient (HTTP, caching, page rendering, SEO, etc)
