About the job

Since 1927, the bank has grown through more than a dozen acquisitions. Most lenders have lived in the area for decades and know their borrowers.

Role overview:

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another team. Our Core Services team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. Chestnuttrack is hiring for the Software Engineer role on our Core Services team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. Our team is spread across 14 countries. Headquarters is in Oakland. We engage team members in Bangladesh as full-time contractors. Most of our contractors have been with us for more than two years. You will need at least 3 hours of overlap with US Pacific time. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

What you'll do:

Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.

What you need:

3+ years of professional software development experience.
Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.

Salary: $1,650 to $2,200 per month

Pay and benefits:

Annual rate review.
Paid time off.
Monthly payments via wire transfer or Wise.

Duration: 12 months. Start: Immediately.
