Senior Software Engineer

About Marlowe Knowledge:

Our designers write, storyboard, build and test their own courses. Marlowe Knowledge is a 3-person team producing custom e-learning for corporate clients.

We need another Senior Software Engineer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. Our team is spread across 9 countries. Headquarters is in Denver. We engage team members in India as full-time contractors. Most of our contractors have been with us for more than two years. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Responsibilities:

Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana. Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it. Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense. Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.

Qualifications:

5+ years of professional software development experience. Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests. BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.

Preferred:

Contributions to open source projects. Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ. Kubernetes and Docker in production.

Compensation and benefits:

Salary: $4,000 - $4,600 monthly

Monthly internet allowance. Paid in USD.

Please submit your CV in English.

Duration: 6 months. Start: Immediately.
