Software Engineer II

Overview:

We're looking for a Software Engineer II to join our team. This is a remote role. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more.

Essential duties and responsibilities:

Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana. Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners. Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback. Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic. Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it. Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed. Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review. Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.

Skills and experience:

2+ years of professional software development experience. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers. Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.

Pay: $134,000 to $161,000/year

Health insurance. 401(k) with a 100% match up to 5%. Paid sick leave. Short- and long-term disability. Dental insurance.
