THE ROLE
At Thrive Market our ML team works closely with our Product Managers and Feature teams to enable experiences that define how our members shop, save, and stay loyal.

As a Senior Software Engineer, Fullstack, you'll operate across the full stack; from designing robust backend services that power the delivery of our ML systems all the way to delivering it through elegant frontend experiences. You'll also contribute to our PHP and Magento codebase and evolve those systems into the future.

- Decompose legacy monolithic systems into maintainable, horizontally scalable service oriented architectures where it makes sense.
- Apply strong software development principles and practice test-driven development from the start; unit tests, integration tests, and meaningful observability are table stakes here.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Data in the Product Triad model; translating business problems into technical specs and realistic sprint goals.
- Instrument new services with meaningful metrics; own the SLAs for what your pod ships.
- Elevate the team through thoughtful code review, architectural discussions, and documentation of best practices.
- Work with cross-functional partners to diagnose and resolve production issues and restore system health quickly.
