Senior Software Engineer

Here's a sample of project descriptions:

• We have 50 million parts in a DB. Create a back-end technology stack that can support real-time dynamic search of these parts (Google style) -- think "2010 accord water pump". Keywords: ElasticSearch, node.js, parallel processing ??
• We have a history of 700,000 orders. Create a recommendation engine that will suggest other parts along with what a buyer already has in their cart. Oh -- and the recommended part has to fit the same car. Return the result in 100 ms or less. Keywords: Uhm, we're not sure, research technologies that might help accomplish this.
• Create a clean public REST API for parts dealers to import orders that they get from sources other than our stores. Keywords: Authentication, JSON, good API design.
• Create an internal shopping cart service that can manage millions of carts a month. Keywords: memcached/redis, NoSQL, scaling, availability
• We need to spin up 50 servers on AWS to crunch some numbers every month. Let's automate that.

Responsibilities:

• You and your team will work day to day with Product Management and UX/UI to design and build solutions for our industry, drive the implementation and release of major features, and be a champion of best practices for writing well-tested, well-organized code.
• You’ll design and implement your features to be secure, scalable, and resilient. You’ll be a driver for positive change to RevolutionParts’ engineering culture, processes, and technology.
• Challenges will range from things like building features, integrations, and libraries to designing and building externalizable APIs, automatic data classification, and high-volume secure services and UI components.
• You will work with some of the strongest engineers you’ll meet in your career, and you will become a stronger engineer during your tenure with the company, no matter where you are today.

Requirements:

• You're not afraid to learn new technologies and attempt problems you haven't faced before. 
• You have 5-10+ years of experience and hungry for new challenges
• You have a solid (pun intended) understanding of OO design and computer science fundamentals.
• You have experience designing APIs (internal or external) and high-availability systems.
• You know what OWASP means without Googling it.
• You design data schemas and implement database solutions (SQL and/or NoSQL) in your sleep.
• You have strong experience with one or more modern languages.  We primarily use PHP and JavaScript. (We don't care if you aren't strong in PHP - but you will have to learn to be strong in it.)
• It's helpful if you're comfortable building and deploying applications using modern cloud technologies (especially AWS), building and CI/CD tools (Github, docker, k8s), observability (NewRelic APM, DataDog, Elasticsearch), and that you are an evangelist for automated testing (especially unit and integration tests).You prefer the dynamic and fast-paced nature of a smaller team.
• You have a GSD attitude - Get Sh*t Done
