Software Engineer II

Since 1994, the company has expanded from listings into payments, shipping and seller financing. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Salvador and several other countries.

Overview

Bittern Labs is looking for a Software Engineer II to join a small, steady team. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. You can work from home anywhere in Brazil. We have no office requirement. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

Main duties

• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it

• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk

You'll need

• 3+ years of professional software development experience
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
