Job summary

Parkside Wealth Management is looking for a Backend Engineer to join a small, steady team. You'll work mostly on server-side code: services, queues, databases and the glue between them. Little to no frontend work. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Main duties

• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS
• Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks
• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers
• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups
• Design and build REST and gRPC APIs in Go, Java or Python
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs
• Comfort reading logs, metrics and traces to debug problems in production

What we offer

Pay: $142,000 - $167,000 a year

• Health, dental and vision coverage starting on day one
• 401(k) with company match
• Three weeks of PTO to start
• Cell phone reimbursement
• Gym membership reimbursement

We are not working with agencies on this role.

Start: Immediately.
