Associate Software Engineer

Our team is growing and we are hiring an Associate Software Engineer. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. This role is fully remote within the US. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

What you'll be doing

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it

Required qualifications

• 1-2 years of professional software development experience
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests

Bonus points

• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ

What you get
