You’ll Spend Your Time:

  • Supporting our customers by resolving bugs and customer support escalations.
  • Communicating thoughtfully, kindly and clearly, both verbally and in the written form.
  • Owning decisions throughout the technical process while working directly with other teams or functions across technical and non-technical domains.

What You’ll Need:

  • At least 3 years of commercial experience as a Software Engineer.
  • Experience in software systems design, and familiarity with fundamental computer science concepts (algorithms, complexity, data structures).
  • Proficiency in at least one of our core programming languages (Go, TypeScript or Python), and a willingness and enthusiasm for learning new languages and technologies.
  • Experience in at least one of:
    • Building highly reliable, scalable microservice back-ends for web APIs or applications, or other types of large-scale, high reliability systems.
    • Building web UIs, CLIs or APIs for use by other engineers.
    • Building infrastructure or platform automation, or observability or release tools.
  • Demonstrable skill in effective software testing.
  • Strong commitment to code quality, and the value of giving and receiving feedback through code reviews.
  • Ability to deal with ambiguity, and respond with agility when requirements and priorities change.
  • Effective communicator both verbally and in writing. 

We’d be Lucky if You: 

  • Able to work collaboratively, are curious and have a growth mindset.
  • Feed off complex technical problems and find solutions where others see roadblocks.
  • Embrace challenges and learn from them.
