What you'll get to do

• Own the end-to-end process for the software development lifecycle: collaborate directly with stakeholders on their requirements, then design, develop, test, and deploy!
• Engage in design and code reviews with a team of peers to ensure code is maintainable and deliverables are well documented, diagnosable, and serviceable.
• Participate in rotating on-call duties to diagnose and solve customer issues.
• Expand your knowledge of cloud services, including direct engagement with our Cloud Service Providers on the challenges and benefits of new releases in cloud infrastructure.

• Knowledge of REST, gRPC, or similar communication paradigms
• Experience collaborating with operational teams during issue diagnosis or service interruptions stemming from deployed code or code components.
• Experience managing public cloud services such as AWS, GCP, and/or Azure
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills including the use of associated tools.

Nice-to-have Qualifications

We've taken special care to separate the must-have qualifications from the nice-to-haves. “Nice-to-have” means just that: Nice. To. Have. So, don't worry if you can't check off every box. We're not hiring a list of bullet points–we're interested in the whole you.

• Operational excellence: you think beyond feature delivery into how your code is serving customers in production
• Certified on AWS Cloud Architecture or similar (preferred).
• Knowledge of Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools and languages like Terraform.
• Experience with cloud computing expense accounting is highly desired
• Experience deploying services in Kubernetes on the cloud

What we offer

• Growth and mentorship. We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities. We also believe mentors help both sides of the equation.
• A stable, collaborative, and supportive work environment. We value transparency, respectful collaboration, adaptability, and curiosity.
• Balance. We want you to be successful outside of work too. We trust our colleagues to be responsible with their time and commitment, and believe that balance helps cultivate a positive environment.
• Fun. We are committed to having every employee want to give it their all, be respectful and a part of the family, and have a smile on their face while doing it.
