About the job

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones.

Overview

We are creating this position because the workload has grown. We need another Software Engineer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. We work hybrid out of Naples, usually three days in, two days remote.

In this role you will

Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review
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
Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags

What you need

2-4 years of professional software development experience
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
Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL

Preferred

Contributions to open source projects
Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ
Infrastructure as code with Terraform
Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain
