Lead Software Engineer

Company overview

Clients hire us for Google Ads, Meta ads, email marketing and landing pages.

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another team. The Lead Software Engineer will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Our Developer Experience team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. Our headquarters is in Cardiff, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will be employed through our employer-of-record partner in Ukraine, with a local contract and salary paid in local currency. Core hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM UK time. You need a reliable internet connection and somewhere quiet to work.

Duties

• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it

• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
