Himalaya Digital operates consumer websites and apps used by tens of millions of people each month. We started in 2006 and have grown to about 360 people. Experiments run constantly, and most product decisions follow A/B test results.

Overview:

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another team. Our Core Services team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling.

Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents. Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags. Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items. Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates. Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
