Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer

Paperless Post is seeking an experienced full-stack software engineer to build and maintain end-to-end product experiences within a streamlined agile software environment. Our flagship application is built on a complex network of over 200M hosts and guests, and receives over 5M unique visitors per month.

In this role, you'll work within a dedicated product team to craft new features and iterate on existing ones. Our frontend stack consists of React, Redux, NextJS. Our backend stack is an SOA mostly written in Golang, with a NodeJS GraphQL and orchestration layer. Postgresql is our source of truth, and we deploy into AWS via Kubernetes. Highly qualified candidates will have real production experience with much of our stack, and a healthy appetite to quickly learn the unfamiliar parts.

• Fully leverage your experience with React, Redux, GraphQL, and Go to extend a stateful web application and underlying services.
• Adhere to and develop architectural standards within an SOA environment.
• Design and implement consistent, high-throughput, low-latency APIs while balancing trade-offs between consistency and availability.
• Deploy regular code releases to production and test environments in Agile release cycles.

What you bring to the table

• Empathy for the people who worked on the code base before you.
• A passion for solving problems, and building features, for our users.
• Proficiency with our core technologies of React, GraphQL, Golang, and Postgresql are all required.
• Ability to partner with other engineers and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
