Software Engineer (Remote)

Advertising, subscriptions and transaction fees each bring in a significant share of revenue. Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it. We started in 1996 and have grown to about 109,600 people.

Role overview

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 need another Software Engineer (Remote) who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation.

Job duties

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of professional software development experience
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line

Preferred qualifications

• Prior work at an early-stage startup
• Contributions to open source projects

Benefits

• Monthly payments via wire transfer or Wise
• Company laptop
