Mark43’s mission is to empower communities and their governments with new technologies that improve the safety and quality of life for all. We build powerful, scalable, and elegant software that sets a new standard for the tools our first responders rely on. Our users are diverse, and we are therefore committed to embracing diversity of thought and experience within our team.
We are seeking experienced and innovative Staff Engineers who have shipped software at an enterprise scale to come and help build the next generation of cloud-based public safety software. As a senior member of the Mark43 team, you’ll take ownership of projects and features from start to finish and be a knowledgeable resource to your teammates. You’ll build robust server-side solutions to our unique problems of scale, security, and reliability. We heavily leverage technologies like Java, MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch and enjoy participating in the open source community. As an engineer here, you'll have the freedom to implement your own solutions and have a meaningful impact on our product. We will depend on your strong systems architecture design and technical decision-making in building our products from the ground up. This role offers tremendous career growth opportunities on either a management or Technical Lead track.
What You’ll Do
If you were a part of our team, here are some things you would have done last week:
- Worked with a Product Manager to understand requirements for a new feature
- Built and deployed features using popular technologies including Java, MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch
- Improved the architecture of a back-end area of the platform to meet the velocity needs of our growing customer base
- Met with a Product Designer to explain technical constraints for a specific feature
- Written clear, concise technical documentation to accompany your code
- Tested a new technology or took some action to improve our codebase and engineering practices
- Nurtured an engineering culture that cares deeply about both code quality and delivering quickly for our customers
What You’ll Need
We are seeking engineers with at least 10 years of professional experience using Java, .NET, or other server-side languages in production. You should be comfortable practicing Agile development and thoroughly testing your own code. Our codebase is large and complex, so we expect you to write clean code and concise documentation to help other engineers understand your contributions. Experience developing features for the cloud, as well as the ability to delve into the front-end stack (JavaScript, ReactJS), is a big plus!
The following types of experience are highly important:
- Deep understanding of databases, automated testing, and Agile methodologies
- Proficiency building and managing RESTful APIs
- Deep experience designing and building out infrastructure for complex cloud-based software applications, preferably hosted in AWS or Azure
- Knowledge of, or experience with microservices architecture
- Commitment to providing support for more junior members of the team and developing cooperative working relationships
- Leaning in to contribute to the company outside your role — our engineers have written blog posts, attended events, and helped grow our team
People who thrive on our team also tend to share the following characteristics:
- Humble, open, and curious. You recognize that no one is perfect, and you’re excited about listening and learning.
- Attentive, active listeners. You’re interested in what others have to say and illustrate your interest with your actions.
- Resilience. You do not shy away from challenging work, and you proactively help your team solve problems.
- Enthusiastic collaborators. You understand that the best outcomes are achieved through shared ownership and seek to spread knowledge and expand participation rather than restrict it.
- Comfortable with uncertainty. You know that sometimes problems can’t be simplified or fully understood and are at ease working within this type of haziness.
- Passionate about personal growth. You view mistakes as opportunities for learning, and want to grow as a designer, colleague, and person.
We feel passionately about equal pay for equal work, and transparency in compensation is one vehicle to achieve that. Total compensation for this role is market competitive, including a target base annual salary range of $180,000 - $240,000, plus bonus opportunity, company stock options, and a full benefits package, including health insurance, paid time off, and a 401k plan. Please note that the higher end of this range will be reserved for candidates with appropriate experience who reside in high cost labor markets.
