The position

Canyonlight has an opening for a Software Engineer II. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Hybrid: two days in the office in Los Angeles, the rest from home.

Job duties

• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Draft short design docs for larger changes and walk the team through the tradeoffs.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• 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.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.

Requirements

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

Compensation and benefits

Pay range: $158,000 - $199,000 per year. Final offer will depend on experience.

• Health savings account (HSA) with employer contribution.
• 401(k) with 4% match.
• Paid holidays.
• Life insurance.
• Relocation assistance.
• Stock options.

Please include a short note on why this role interests you.

Start: Within 30 days.
