The Opportunity
As a Software Engineer, you are more than just a coder. In addition to your software engineering responsibilities, you are also encouraged to be a planning consultant to the project managers, recommending improvements to our engineering practices and helping other specialists become more proficient in solving specific problems.
What you’ll do:

• Participate in all aspects of the SDLC, including design, development, code review, testing, bug fixing, and code/API documentation.

• Develop new features using our innovative technologies that will encourage and excite marketers, IT professionals, and other knowledge workers globally.

• Build engineering designs that address sophisticated problems and perform at a mass scale when thousands upon thousands of people are using it at the same time.

• Debate the efficient design and ideal user experience for a variety of unrealized features identified by our Product friends or propose some ideas of your own!

• Lead technical discussions about what emerging tools, technologies, and processes are coming that may impact how we improve our products and our SaaS platform in the future.

• Provide your well-considered opinions on the creation and modification of our technology roadmaps.

What you need to succeed:

• 2+ years of programming experience with 1+ years of recent experience in Node.js.

• Demonstrate sound knowledge of Database basics such as joins, constraints, stored procedures, triggers, and schema design.

• Attest that you can take a problem and represent it in an Object-Oriented Design while calling out assumptions, discussing design alternatives, and considering non-functional requirements of the system (e.g. Performance, Maintainability etc.).

• Demonstrate a high level of ownership for the entire SDLC; including design, build, validation, deployment, and support of production systems.

• Experience optimizing software to run fast, be reliable and fail safely – O(n) analysis should not be new to you.

• Design features that require coordination of multiple threads using various communication/coordination mechanisms.

• Have a story to tell about how you have used threads, mutexes, semaphores, critical sections or debugged sophisticated issues in a distributed environment.

• Knowledge of the other technologies in use at Workfront (Docker, Kubernetes, NoSQL, Kafka, ElasticSearch, AWS, GCP, etc.) will be encouraged.
