Midlevel Full Stack Software Engineer - APIs & Partnerships

What you'll do in the role:

• Build and deliver quality software. You will write code across the full application stack, primarily in Go and Typescript/React. Existing React experience is a requirement for this role. While most of your time will be focused on delivering software, you will be trusted to model best practices, lead team-level projects, and weigh in on larger technical decisions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners. Our team follows a product triad model composed of design, product, and engineering. You will collaborate with these partners, beginning with problem discovery through solution design and delivery.
• Avoids monolithic deliverables and breaks down complex tasks quickly. We work through building small changes/experiments and then iterate based on customer interaction.
• Support our software/systems in production. We believe in owning the software that we build. The ownership is built through defining our own team KPIs, product SLOs, and alerting. Every engineer on the team participates in an on-call rotation to support issues that our customers encounter (reactive) and to look for other areas of toil that our customers may face (proactive).
• Enjoys being a generalist. This team’s work will naturally touch multiple areas of the product to build meaningful integrations that delight our customers. The ideal candidate would probably enjoy a variety in their work and be willing to jump between creating SDKs, API surface, some UI work, documentation, and more to help the team accomplish its goals.
• Loves creating a good developer experience. You’ll be working with some of our most important product surface areas: the APIs and SDKs that allow customers to consume Honeycomb data. You’ll do well if you are the kind of engineer who enjoys thinking about how to design solutions and write code and documentation that other engineers are delighted to work with. You know how to balance developer experience against other concerns like performance, reliability, availability, etc.
• Values clear, open communication and teamwork. We see clear, thoughtful, and regular written & face-to-face communication (including a willingness to give & receive feedback) as a fundamental engineering skill and one of the strongest predictors of future engineering impact, not just a nice to have, and we hope you do too. In this role, you will also be a part of helping others maintain resilience in periods of change.

What You'll Bring:

• Experience working across an application stack. You have experience with modern frontend and backend languages (being stronger in one is perfectly fine). You may have delivered features for which you built the UI, as well as the database migrations and API endpoints to support it. The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of professional experience as an engineer for a midlevel role.
• A strong sense of teamwork. You have worked on teams requiring collaboration with other engineers and cross-functional partners, such as product managers and designers. You look for opportunities to reduce knowledge silos and level up the team members around you. You are open to pair programming and helping others when they are stuck.
• Can balance engineering investment with customer value. It’s easy to get caught up in building a perfectly polished solution and lose the context of the value you are delivering. You have experience revisiting scope and working in small iterations to quickly put features in customers’ hands.
• A flexible mindset. The urgency of product delivery within a growing business sometimes requires us to alter our strategies or roadmap. You have an open mind and are comfortable pivoting when necessary to meet the company's or customers' needs.
• Act with Autonomy and Ownership. You can work independently and with the team as needed and be accountable end-to-end through planning, deployment, and maintenance, showing ownership of their own work in production. You can proactively identify and suggest solutions to problems impacting the team. And you know how to create your own learning path, proactively seeking out the resources you need to level up.
