Our Engineering
For our customers, we care deeply about delivering amazing user experiences. Delivery can be a messy business, but our customers love our intuitive and easy-to-use software. For the internal teams, we write software to run every part of our business: Operations, CS, accounting, and Sales. As we scale, automation, data, and AI will enable our team to move faster and smarter.

About the Role:
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will be engaged in designing, building, and maintaining robust and scalable backend systems. You will play a key role in the architecture and implementation of our applications, ensuring high performance, security, and reliability.

  • Design and create services and system architecture for your projects, and contribute and provide feedback to other team members via technical design sessions.
  • Collaborate with the front-end engineers in building, and shipping scalable APIs to be consumed by our client-facing solutions.
  • Build and maintain third-party API integrations, fetching, and processing of data.
  • Work with the product and design teams to discuss the requirements of the value teams (including business, marketing, sales, and logistics operations), understand end-user requirements, formulate use cases, and then translate them into usable and scalable features.
  • Find the right balance between progress (i.e. shipping quickly) and perfection (i.e. measuring twice). Mentor and empower other engineers around you.
  • Develop and maintain high-performance and scalable backend systems that can handle high traffic volumes, while ensuring data integrity, security, and reliability.
  • Continuously monitor and optimize the performance of backend systems, and implement appropriate measures to ensure optimal system uptime and availability.
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders, including non-technical team members, to ensure that they understand the technical decisions being made and how they will impact the product.
  • Drive innovation and contribute to the growth of our company vision by creating new products and collaborating closely with the product and design teams.

  • Experience managing NoSQL databases/search engines such as Redis, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, etc.
  • Experience building and implementing CI/CD pipelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
