Junior Software Engineer

Voiceover is recorded in a closet studio lined with foam. Style guide reviews are part of every project.

The Junior Software Engineer will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Hybrid. You will need to be in Alexandria at least two days per week.

Main duties:

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.

Minimum qualifications:

• 1-2 years of professional software development experience.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.

Desirable:

• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.

Pay and benefits:

Rate: $119,000 - $144,000 a year

• Health insurance.
• 401(k) with a 100% match up to 5%.
