Role details
Job location
Tech stack
Job description
- Designing and building distributed backend services that are reliable, performant, and secure - primarily in Java, with Python, Go and other technologies in the mix
- Going deep on hard engineering problems: understanding our data pipelines, troubleshooting distributed systems, latency optimization, improving failure modes
- Contributing meaningfully to design discussions - not just implementing what's handed to you but helping shape what we build and how
- Reviewing your teammates' code thoughtfully and having your own reviewed with the same rigor
- Participating in on-call rotations, investigating production issues methodically, writing RCAs and closing the loop with improvements that prevent recurrence
- Keeping your knowledge sharp and sharing what you learn - new technologies, better patterns and tools
- Our stack: Java (primary), Python, Go, Kotlin, Node.js - AWS & Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, Kafka, Redis, Jenkins, GitHub. We dogfood our own products and are vocal customers of them!
Requirements
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives on solving hard problems, takes ownership seriously and brings both technical depth and intellectual curiosity. Java is our primary language, but we're a polyglot team - we also work in Python, Go and other technologies. We value engineers who are genuinely excited to pick up new tools and master them., * 5+ years of engineering experience with a solid computer science foundation
- Strong Java proficiency (3-5 years hands-on) and comfort reading and writing Python
- Real experience building and operating distributed systems in production
- Fluency with containerization and cloud infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, AWS or Google Cloud Platform)
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or GitHub Actions) and cloud data stores (S3, DynamoDB, Redis, RDBMS)
- A polyglot mindset - you're not precious about languages or technology and you pick up new ones quickly
- The habit of writing code that's concise, readable, and easy for the next engineer to reason about
- Strong communication instincts - you ask good questions early, surface concerns before they become problems and give feedback that makes designs better
- A track record for being someone your teammates genuinely enjoy working with - collaborative, low-ego and generous with your time and knowledge
