Software Engineer I - Remote

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts.

We are backfilling a position after an internal move. We need another Software Engineer I - Remote who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions.

Responsibilities

• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.

You'll need

• 0-2 years of professional software development experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to have

• Contributions to open source projects.

What you get

• Home office equipment.

Duration: 12 months. Start: Immediately.
