Overview

Essential duties and responsibilities

• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional software development experience.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.

Nice to have

• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.

Pay range: $161,000 - $192,000 a year. Final offer will depend on experience.

• Paid time off.
