Home Solutions is looking for a Senior Software Engineer interested in applying their skills at the intersection of data engineering, event-driven architecture design, and web application development. This position will be part of a small, growing team working on an emerging product, Neighborhood Alerts (www.neighborhoodalerts.com). Your expertise in languages like Ruby and SQL, as well as experience with team mentorship will guide meaningful decisions to set us up for scalable future growth.
Our Senior Software Engineers drive the design and execution of technical solutions and improvements. You will work closely with our Director of Engineering and our product team to promote engineering best practices, assure code and architecture quality with an eye for scalability, control and manage technical debt, improve code reviews and team processes, and promote collaboration and a culture of learning. Successful candidates will have shown the ability to ship quality products in a fast-paced agile environment.
To give a sense for the breadth of challenges you’ll be helping us tackle, the team has been facing decisions such as -
- Will serverless technologies like AWS Lambda, and SQS fit our use-case?
- How can we support OLAP queries without impacting existing application performance?
- Should we explore moving performance critical workloads to a compiled language like Go or Rust?
- What kind of scaffolding, CI/CD steps, or internal tools can we build to increase our velocity?
- Can we design reasonable and maintainable abstractions around integrations for our data sources?
Rather than inherit a bunch of systems and processes that are set in stone, you’ll be able to own and evolve everything you touch as a leader of an open-minded team that’s always interested in improvements.
- Develop and maintain code for cloud-based microservices (most are currently written in Ruby)
- Architect new features and services to capture business value
- Review code and provide constructive feedback to fellow team members
- Implement proper testing at various levels (unit, integration, end-to-end)
- Improve team processes in the areas of CI/CD, testing, requirements scoping, data security, and application monitoring
- Promote engineering best practices
- Continuously learn and develop yourself as well as your fellow team members
- 4+ years of experience building web applications
- Deep knowledge of AWS or other popular cloud provider (GCP/Azure) AWS certifications are a plus!
- Experience architecting solutions using serverless technologies
- Deep knowledge and experience with one or more programming languages
- Preference for experience with Ruby but open to other experience including (but not limited to) Go, Javascript/Node.js, Python, Rust, C++
- Understanding of design patterns, data structures, and data modeling
- Willingness to provide feedback or advice across the technology stack
- Passionate about learning and collaborating with teammates.
- We are passionate about what we do and the solutions we build, but we also like to joke around and enjoy our time together at workAlignment with our core values: Grow Without Limits, Get After It, Act With Focus, and Build The Team.
