## Description

We are looking for a world class Senior Back End Engineer to help shape the engineering team and build a world class product!
We were created when a Rockstar Registered Nurse and a whip-smart techie joined forces to create a proprietary scheduling system.
The two set out on a mission to change the never-ending nursing shortage in healthcare.
Outcomes
· Implement changes that precisely match product specifications
· Help improve specification by asking questions about edge cases and behavior during the planning and scoping stages
· Provide product feedback to the rest of the team when new ideas and problems arise
· Focus on projects that have an impact on improving business metrics and allow the team to quickly implement A|B tests to help determine improvements
· Increase the visibility of service performance and health and ensure we have the appropriate logs/alerts in place to respond quickly and recover from problems
· Improve the stability and performance of the backend services, and increase visibility into the health of the system by improving our logging, alerting, and process around recovering from problems
· Write code that has been tested well enough before shipping so that we do not cause a noticeable increase in the number of support issues filed over time
· When critical bugs are shipped to production, proactively identify root causes and take the appropriate resolution actions so that we can recover quickly
· Stay up to date on the latest technologies relevant to the backend tech stack, and use this knowledge to implement new features and changes if they'll provide a better experience
· Proactively assist other engineers on the team in fixing bugs and shipping features and updates
· Write maintainable code that can be quickly updated as needed, and is testable and easily understood by other engineers on the team
· Provide fairly accurate engineering time estimates
· Be on call from time to time if there are critical issues on production that need debugging
· Take ownership and responsibility to finish the features and issues assigned to you, while collaborating with the team
· Assist deploying builds to production and QA environments, and have visibility on the status of Pull Requests and builds as they get deployed
· Provide helpful code reviews and ensure PRs do not linger with long delays in review time
· Devise innovative and cost-effective strategies for identifying and preventing bugs
· Proactively refactor code that needs improvement, but without getting lost in constantly refactoring projects
· Build a secure application architecture and work with other teams to build a secure information architecture
· Become a reliable go-to resource on the team for feature changes and updates as new projects arise, such that you can be relied on to ship the changes in a timely manner at the quality level expected by the team
