- Partner closely with product, design, AI, and data teams to develop intelligent, data-driven capabilities that improve performance and user experience for customers and end users.
- Anticipate future product and platform needs, and proactively design solutions that support team growth, product expansion, and increasing scale.
- Improve system observability, resiliency, and performance to ensure our onsite experiences remain fast, reliable, and effective at scale.
- Contribute to a strong engineering culture through high-quality implementation, pragmatic architecture, and a focus on measurable customer impact.
Your Expertise
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally with strong experience building backend systems, product platforms, or customer-facing applications at scale.
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Java, or TypeScript
- Experience designing and operating distributed systems, APIs, and microservices, with a solid understanding of reliability, scalability, and performance.
- For backend candidates: deep experience building service-oriented systems and data-intensive applications.
- For full-stack candidates: strong backend fundamentals plus experience building high-quality frontend applications and collaborating closely on end-user experience.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and modern developer tooling, such as AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, relational databases, caching systems, queues, or streaming platforms.
- Ability to translate business goals and product ideas into clear technical plans and execute effectively across functions.
- A track record of writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code and holding a high bar for production quality.
- Curiosity, strong collaboration skills, and a passion for building products that drive meaningful customer growth.
