Software Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking a motivated and collaborative Software Engineer to join our engineering team. The successful candidate will design, develop, and maintain backend and full-stack services, contributing to scalable, reliable, and well-tested systems. This role partners closely with Product, Design, QA, and other engineering teams to implement new features, improve existing functionality, and support production reliability. Strong engineering fundamentals, pragmatic decision-making, and clear communication are essential.

Key Responsibilities

System Design \& Development

• Design, implement, and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations that power our products, ensuring scalability, security, and observability.
• Contribute to system architecture decisions, advocating for modular, testable, and maintainable codebases and clear service boundaries.
• Build and maintain frontend components or internal tools as needed to deliver end-to-end features, collaborating with Design and Product to ensure quality user experiences.

Testing, Reliability \& Performance

• Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure correctness and reduce regressions.
• Monitor, profile, and optimize service performance, latency, and resource usage; identify and remediate bottlenecks and failure modes.
• Implement and follow best practices for security, data protection, observability, and incident response to maintain high service reliability.

CI/CD, Tooling \& Operations

• Contribute to build, test, and deployment pipelines including automated testing, static analysis, and release automation.
• Maintain and improve developer tooling, linters, code generators, and shared libraries to streamline team productivity.
• Participate in on-call rotations, triage production issues, and implement timely fixes and post-incident improvements.

Collaboration, Documentation \& Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with Product and Design to refine requirements, provide technical estimates, and deliver features on schedule.
• Create and maintain clear documentation for code, architecture decisions, APIs, and operational runbooks.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve code quality, developer experience, and system reliability; propose and implement practical solutions.

Required Qualifications - Skills \& Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience building production services or applications.
• Proficiency in one or more backend languages (e.g., Java, Kotlin, Go, Python, Ruby, C#, or Node.js) and familiarity with web frameworks and RESTful/GraphQL API design.
• Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases, data modeling, and efficient query design.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms and managed services (AWS, GCP, Azure) including compute, storage, networking, and identity.
• Practical experience with automated testing, continuous integration, and deployment practices.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective written and verbal communication for collaborating with technical and non-technical colleagues.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with distributed systems, message queues, streaming platforms, or event-driven architectures.
• Familiarity with infrastructure as code, containerization, and orchestration tools (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and incident management processes.
• Contributions to open source projects, published technical writing, or a portfolio of prior projects are a plus.
• Experience working on cross-functional teams and mentoring junior engineers.

Work Environment \& Compensation

• Full-time position with a hybrid onsite/remote work model; occasional travel for team meetings or product launches may be required.
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plan options, and paid time off.
• Opportunities for professional development, training support, and career growth within Engineering and Product functions.
• Inclusive and respectful workplace culture that values diversity, equity, and work-life balance.
