Software Engineer (Java)

Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Nashville and several other countries. Since 1988, the company has expanded from listings into payments, shipping and seller financing.

Job summary:

We are backfilling a position after an internal move. We need another Software Engineer (Java) who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. You will be employed through our employer-of-record partner in Sri Lanka, with a local contract and salary paid in Sri Lankan rupees. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

Day to day:

• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.

Minimum qualifications:

• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• 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.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.

Nice to have:

• Prior work at an early-stage startup.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.
• Contributions to open source projects.

Salary: LKR 610,000 - LKR 730,000 a month

Benefits:

• 24 days paid time off.
• Flexible hours.
• Public holidays observed per your country.
• Annual salary review.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
