Sr. Software Developer (Messaging)

Who We Are:

At Bandwidth, your music matters when you are part of the BAND.  We celebrate differences and encourage BANDmates to be their authentic selves.  #jointheband

What We Are Looking For:

Let’s face it… People read text messages, more than any other medium, which is why we are the fastest growing segment in Bandwidth.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Developer who will lead by example in designing and developing world-class, highly scalable, cloud based applications that allow customers to provision, send, receive, and track billions of messages.

What You'll Do:

• Develop, deliver and support highly scalable, cloud based applications
• Be a senior member of a software development team, and a leading voice in your team’s design and implementation efforts. 
• Contribute to solutions from start to finish, collaborating across teams to iteratively ship value.
• Work with a team of developers with experience with distributed microservices.
• Work closely with product managers to create solutions that deliver the power to communicate.
• Look critically at what we’re building and how we’re building it
• Play a critical role in establishing and maintaining the infrastructure of our production and development environments

What You Need:

You are the right candidate if…

• You are passionate about your craft of building services with programming languages including Java and similar languages
• You have experience with AWS or another cloud platform, and you “get” how scalable cloud applications are engineered
• You enjoy solving complex problems at scale, and working closely with stakeholders to continually improve the customer experience and application reliability
• You are consistently innovating while actively reducing the complexity and increasing scalability and security across the software you develop
• You have a history of leading by example through your design and implementation
• You have extensive experience thoroughly and deeply reviewing code
• You have understanding of fundamental design principles for building a scalable application
• You know IP networking, web protocols, and REST
• You’re passionate about writing testable code, and your test automation proves it
• You have a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• While years of experience is an imperfect measure, you’ve probably been a software engineer for 6+ years
• You enjoy mentoring others

Bonus Points:

• You have experience with scale and performance optimization.
• You have experience with relational and non-relational database systems.

The Whole Person Promise:

At Bandwidth, we’re pretty proud of our corporate culture, which is rooted in our “Whole Person Promise.” We promise all employees that they can have meaningful work AND a full life, and we provide a work environment geared toward enriching your body, mind, and spirit. How do we do that? Well…

• 100% company-paid Medical, Vision, & Dental coverage for you and your family with low deductibles and low out-of-pocket expenses.
• All new hires receive four weeks of PTO.
• PTO Embargo. When you take time off (of any kind!) you’re embargoed from working. Bandmates and managers are not allowed to interrupt your PTO – not even with email.
• Additional PTO can be earned throughout the year through volunteer hours and Bandwidth challenges.
• “Mahalo moments” program grants additional time off for life’s most important moments like graduations, buying a first home, getting married, wedding anniversaries (every five years), and the birth of a grandchild.
• 90-Minute Workout Lunches and unlimited meetings with our very own nutritionist.
