THE POSITION

We’re looking for a full-stack (preferably front-end leaning) Staff Software Engineer to work efficiently and routinely deliver the right things with limited guidance. Your work focuses on complex, ambiguous problem areas in existing or new software initiatives. You take the long-term view. You consider where each system is at in its life cycle and where appropriate, proactively fix architecture deficiencies. You make existing systems simpler (e.g. by consolidating redundant systems, deleting unnecessary code, or removing/updating out of date documentation). You are able to take the lead on large projects that require the work of your team. You know how to divide a software project into parallel work that can be performed by you and other software engineers and then reassembled successfully into a cohesive launch. You enjoy coaching and developing other software engineers’ technical skills.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Solid experience building and designing highly scalable, fault tolerant and always available systems
• Good grasp in a broad range of data structures and algorithms
• Solid understanding of design patterns and architectural principles
• Strong technical leadership skills and follow-through, and self-starter for improvements
• Willingness to work across different technologies and programming languages
• Solid experience of coding with Java (Spring or Spring Boot) and/or JavaScript (preferably React). The team is particularly needing to plug front-end knowledge + experience.
• Good grasp on non-relational databases and messaging queues (Kafka)
• Familiarity with configuration management e.g. Chef, Puppet, Ansible
• Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure and technologies, preferably AWS. Understating of containers (e.g. Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Experience with DevOps tools and process such as CI/CD pipelines, Jenkins, BuildKite
