Senior Software Engineer

Job Overview:

As an early hire, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping our systems and platforms. This includes developing and architecting our DevOps practices, processes, and tools.

Responsibilities:

• Design, prioritize, and build infrastructure and services to support end to end experiences. Deployment target is currently AWS, though we may expand to additional public clouds in the future.

• Data is our life - much of our stack is related to data import, transport, cleaning, storage, analysis, and learning. This is not however typical ETL - our bread and butter is sophisticated security analysis on user behavior, and data sets are petabyte vs terabyte scale, so multi-layer distributed systems able to drive real-time analysis and alerting are the norm.

• Work with our team to create, design and implement a world-class development lifecycle, architecture, and toolset, from initial concept through DevSecOps delivery

• Define service architecture and APIs to implement the above

• Understand and participate in tradeoff discussions, but have the courage to stand behind principles and values that you believe cannot be compromised on.

Skills Required:

• 8+ years of professional experience in backend development

• Proficiency in one or more of the following languages: Golang, Java, .Net, JavaScript with understanding of technical and community pros, cons, and tradeoffs

• Strong understanding of industry best practices across entire lifecycle from idea to design to development, as well as test, deployment, operations, monitoring, and incident management

• Have shipped and operated high-scale commercial SaaS products, with all that entails

• Understanding of core networking, data transport and persistence systems and methods at scale, particularly noSQL

• Broad direct experience with at least one public cloud platform - AWS preferred, Azure, GCP, and modern deployment tooling (CI/CD, containers, Terraform, etc.)

• Deep understanding of performance, privacy, scalability, HA/DR, instrumentation, logging & alerting, and other requirements of industry best practice enterprise scale products and services

• Understanding of industry best practice security and privacy and data governance requirements and practices

• Familiar with secure development practices, from coding to artifact generation to deployment

• Ability to work and thrive in a fast-moving world with ambiguity and potential change as daily companions

What we offer:

• Competitive salary, equity, and benefits package.

• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement in a fast-growing company.

• The chance to work directly with our co-founders and contribute meaningfully to shaping the company's direction.

• A collaborative and dynamic work environment with a dedicated team of professionals.
