Software Engineer II

A bit about us:

Most of our staff work the sales floor, the registers and the stockroom.

The position:

The Software Engineer II will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. 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. This position is on site in Riga.

Responsibilities:

Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags. Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green. Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk. Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback. Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review. Draft short design docs for larger changes and walk the team through the tradeoffs. Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it. Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.

Who you are:

3+ years of professional software development experience. Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests. Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers. Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.

Also helpful:

Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ. Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain. Prior work at an early-stage startup.
