Job description

We are looking for backend engineers to join our core product development teams
You’ll work with other engineers to design and build new features or enhance existing features
This work will add capabilities to the various backend systems and services that support Wealthfront’s products, and will be done with automated instrumentation and monitoring to require minimal operational maintenance
You’ll help improve the maintainability and stability of our codebase by fixing issues and adding necessary enhancements to our existing backend systems
You’ll ensure that mission critical backend systems and services operate smoothly in production by triaging and resolving operational issues as part of a team of on-call engineers
You’ll proactively identify opportunities for improving the reliability and scalability of our systems
Additionally, you might play a part in evolving the engineering organization by participating in recruiting activities such as interviewing and attending career fairs and providing mentorship to other engineers on the team
Once you join, Wealthfront will:
Pair you with a mentor who will guide you through our structured onboarding program
Encourage you to work on projects that match your professional goals
Support your professional development by providing feedback during weekly 1:1s and our semi-annual reviews
Provide you autonomy so you can be a happy and successful member of our team

Requirements

You have either a BS or MS in computer science or related field
While not required, experience working with Spark pipelines is a plus along with knowledge of an ORM technology such as Hibernate. Another plus is working with a dependency injection framework (one of Guice, Spring, Pico, Dagger)
You have passion for agile, test-driven development, continuous integration and automated testing. You also have a passion for working on platforms and backend systems that have measurable business impact and like working in a fast paced cross functional environment
You have 2-6 years of experience in developing backend components, services or APIs in Java or a similar language. You demonstrate knowledge and understanding of distributed systems and functional programming paradigms
You have knowledge of SQL and experience working with online data stores (ideally something like MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server but NoSQL is okay)

Benefits & conditions

Lunch and snacks on the house: Enjoy lunches, snacks, coffee and stipends to go out to lunch with coworkers.
More tools in your toolbox: Join one of our affinity groups, attend leadership trainings and receive 1:1 mentorship. We give team members a quarterly learning stipend so we can all continue to grow and improve.
Commuting made easy: We’re a short walk from the Palo Alto Caltrain and all employees receive a Caltrain pass. Our co-working space in San Francisco is great for days when you need to work from the city. An additional transportation stipend and relocation bonuses make getting to the office a breeze.
Prioritize Wellness: Stay happy and healthy however you choose with our monthly wellness reimbursement. You define what wellness means for you - a massage, running sneakers, or dance classes? It’s your call.
Work/life balance (no, really): We have flexible working hours, a discretionary time off policy and offer 16 weeks of paid parental leave (both parents). We work hard, but we rejuvenate too.
Your health matters: We provide comprehensive medical, dental and vision coverage for you and your family, including HSA contributions for high deductible plans.
