Software Development Engineer, Backend

What you'll do:

· Perform complex application programming activities with an emphasis on mobile development: Node.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, RESTful APIs and related backend frameworks

· Assist in the definition of system architecture and detailed solution design that are scalable and extensible

· Collaborate with Product Owners, Designers, and other engineers on different permutations to find the best solution possible

· Own the quality of code and do your own testing. Write unit test and improve test coverage.

· Deliver amazing solutions to production that knock everyone’s socks off

· Mentor junior developers on the team

What we’re looking for:

· Amazing technical instincts. You know how to evaluate and choose the right technology and approach for the job. You have stories you could share about what problem you thought you were solving at first, but through testing and iteration, came to solve a much bigger and better problem that resulted in positive outcomes all-around.

· A love for learning. Technology is continually evolving around us, and you want to keep up to date to ensure we are using the right tech at the right time.

· A love for working in ambiguity—and making sense of it. You can take in a lot of disparate information and find common themes, recommend clear paths forward and iterate along the way. You don’t form an opinion and sell it as if it’s gospel; this is all about being flexible, agile, dependable, and responsive in the face of many moving parts.

· Flexible and willing to accept change in priorities, as necessary

· Demonstrable passion for technology (e.g., personal projects, open-source involvement)

· Enthusiastic embrace of DevOps culture and collaborative software engineering

· Ability and desire to work in a dynamic, fast paced, and agile team environment

· Enthusiasm for cloud computing platforms such as AWS or Azure

· Excellent written and verbal communications skills
