Senior Back-end Software Engineer - Core Engine

Why do we love building Make (and why you might, too)?

We are developers and we take it for granted that we can solve pretty much anything by writing software. But what if someone is not a developer or doesn't have access to one? Chances are that they will end up doing the same boring tasks over and over, copy-pasting data from one place to another, wasting time on low-value work instead of doing something way more impactful.

With Make, we give anyone the opportunity to build powerful automations in a way that almost feels like a game. We give anyone a chance to experience the joy of building something that just works. We turn regular people into makers.

What you’ll do

• Become part of a cross-functional product team working on the engine that executes thousands of automations per second.
• Design and develop innovative solutions, and build new product features.
• Improve existing back-end systems to enhance maintainability, performance, reliability, and resiliency.
• Write and maintain tests.
• Ship code to production.
• Automate repetitive work.
• Write and review RFCs and technical documentation.
• Review and give feedback on the work of others.
• Invest time into learning new things and growing.
• If you like, you can participate in cross-cutting initiatives and influence how engineering practices and tooling evolve at Make.
• Have fun at work :)
