Position summary

Tideridge HQ is looking for a Software Engineer I to join a small, steady team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. This role is fully remote within the US. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Key responsibilities

• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.

What you need

• 1+ years of professional software development experience.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.

Preferred

• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Kubernetes and Docker in production.

Pay range: $105,000 - $133,000/year. Final offer will depend on experience.

Why work with us

• Health savings account (HSA) with employer contribution.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid sick leave.
• Flexible spending account.
• Life insurance.
