• Lead incident response and on-call rotations for Find systems, independently resolving operational issues, reducing partner concerns and improving system reliability over time
• Proactively identify improvement opportunities, author design docs, define Jira breakdowns and independently drive moderate to large problem statements from idea to production
• Adopt and champion modern development practices including AI-assisted development tools, DevOps and CI/CD automation to continuously improve personal and team delivery velocity without compromising quality
• Share technical work and innovations with the broader engineering organisation through brown bag sessions, demos or written showcases, contributing to a culture of visibility and knowledge sharing

Your experience should include...

• A degree in computer science, information systems or a related discipline, or equivalent demonstrated industry experience
• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of building and scaling large-scale distributed systems
• Proficiency in one or more of Go Lang, Python or Java, with a strong preference for GoLang
• Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, software design, microservices architecture and cloud computing
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• Demonstrated ability to independently own a service or functional area end to end, including design docs, ADRs, runbooks and stakeholder collaboration
• Passion for building elegant, pragmatic solutions to real-world problems at scale
• A genuine desire to learn, grow and invest in your own craft over time

You might also have...

• Experience with or curiosity about search technologies and search infrastructure
• Hands-on experience with AWS
• Familiarity with big data and machine learning technologies
• Experience working in fully remote, globally distributed engineering teams

We encourage you to apply even if your experience or skillset doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement. We value a wide range of backgrounds and transferable skills, and we are excited to support learning and growth.
