Role overview

Southern Cross Systems is hiring for the Senior Software Developer (Remote) role on our Billing team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions.

Your responsibilities

• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.

What you need

• 5-7 years of professional software development experience.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.

Preferred qualifications

• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.
• Prior work at an early-stage startup.
• Contributions to open source projects.
