Engineering Director

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Dhaka, Dhaka Division and two nearshore delivery centres. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. We started in 2010 and have grown to about 520 people.

The role:

Our team is growing and we are hiring an Engineering Director. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Bangladesh. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning.

Responsibilities:

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.

Minimum qualifications:

• 8+ years of professional software development experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.

What you get:

• Medical insurance.
• Provident fund.
• Paid leave.
• Life insurance.
• Fuel allowance.
• Two bonuses a year.

Please mention your notice period and expected salary.
