About the Team

The Payments team is responsible for building, maintaining, scaling and supporting high availability of GoodLeap’s payment integration services to support our customers’ collection of payments and receipt of payouts for their Solar and Home Efficiency companies. The team is actively building tooling to drive faster payments in new and innovative ways. This team is made up of a product manager, engineering manager, and several engineers with various skill sets and levels. The team cares deeply about code quality, alerts, dashboards, pipelines, and other automation to ensure the quality of our team's products. We are pushing the boundaries of technology at GoodLeap and always have new and interesting projects. There is a good mix of green field work and improvement work.

On the technical side, the team leverages technologies like Typescript, NodeJs, .Net, DynamoDB, MongoDb, Postgres SQL, GitHub Actions, SST (Serverless stack), Lambda functions, Datadog, NestJs, Microservices, Docker, Kubernetes and Elastic Search to build all of these cool systems.

Some of what you'll do here:

• Build and deliver high-quality, performant frontend and backend code across content codebases and applications (JavaScript / Typescript / ReactJS / NodeJS / .NET)
• Collaborate with user experience designers, product managers, and other engineers to deliver new features, enhancements, platform improvements and bug fixes
• Collaborate with other engineers to write testable, reliable code, continuously deploying to production systems
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews and product development
• Deploy and monitor large-scale distributed systems
• Lead hands-on implementation work to keep current with technology trends inside and outside Goodleap

You are an ideal candidate for our team if you value:

• Collaboration and consensus-building as patterns for problem-solving
• Transparency in the face of ambiguous or difficult situations
• “Getting stuff done” through simple, pragmatic iteration and an unwavering focus on product needs
• Demonstrating a high level of curiosity and keeping abreast of the latest technologies
• Taking a proactive nature to resolve problems and displaying a strong sense of ownership
• Challenging the status quo, when it makes sense to do so

To be successful, you should have:

• The typical problem-solving and algorithmic experience that one expects in any software engineering role
• Strong experience in one or more of the following technologies with a strong desire and ability to expand your skill set: Typescript, Node, JavaScript, .Net, React, NextJS and AWS platform.
• Experience integrating with a payment processor such as Stripe
• Experience building RESTful APIs and working with databases
• We are seeking a Full Stack Software Engineer with experience turning business requirements into scalable and feature rich applications. The ideal candidate will be highly motivated and be able to hit the ground running. Our team values dynamic and capable individuals who are ready to collaborate and meet our ambitious, yet realistic, deadlines.

It would make your job easier (but it isn't required) if you have:

• Understanding of large-scale web applications (clustering, scalability, caching, performance tuning)
• Understanding of agile methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, and agile engineering practices like Test-Driven Development, Continuous integration, and other Extreme programming practices
• Proficient in Elastic Search, GraphQL, Kafka, and Docker
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
