Software Engineer II - Remote

About Morris Interactive:

Since 2017, the company has run a comparison site for car insurance, mortgages and credit cards. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

About the role:

We're looking for a Software Engineer II - Remote to join our team. This is a remote role. 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. We are headquartered in Leeds and have been hiring remotely since 2020. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in the US, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

Day to day:

• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.

Requirements:

• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.

Preferred qualifications:

• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain.
• Contributions to open source projects.

Why work with us:

Compensation: $116,000 - $147,000 annually DOE.

• Paid sick days.
• Home office setup budget.
• Monthly internet allowance.
• Equity.
