Junior Backend Engineer

This is a newly created position. We want someone who writes boring, reliable code and leaves good logs behind. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement.

Your responsibilities:

• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS.
• Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current.
• Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't.
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ.
• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers.
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB.

Minimum qualifications:

• 1+ 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.
• Clear written communication, including design docs.

What we offer:

The salary range for this role is $134,000 - $165,000 a year. This range reflects base salary only.

• Health insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• 12 weeks of paid parental leave.

Who we are:

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in New York City, New York and two nearshore delivery centers. More than 9,000 organizations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

We are an equal opportunity employer. If you need an accommodation during the application process, let us know.
