What will you do?

As a Backend Engineer on the team, you’ll have a key role in developing our product and its unique features, working closely with our Product team. You should be passionate about software engineering and building a product end-to-end and will be responsible for owning the dev cycle from the technical design, through coding and testing, to deployment and monitoring. We work in a true continuous delivery environment with fully automated QA processes on a microservices architecture, deploying to production dozens of times every day. 

Requirements are often considered a measure of how equipped you are to do the job, but sometimes, they aren’t the only factor. If you don’t have nearly enough experience, or not all the skills, we’d still like to hear from you. This could be the perfect fit for you and us.

• 5 years of experience as a software engineer with a strong emphasis on backend development.
• Excellent knowledge of software design and scalable architecture.
• Experience with testing methodologies - unit-testing, TDD, mocking, etc.
• Experience with relational databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.
• Independent, fast learner, and excited about learning new technologies.
• Proactive team player with a desire to impact our team, our product, and our customers.
• Kotlin / Scala / Java experience is a big plus.
• Experience with AWS or an equivalent cloud platform is a plus.
