Sr Software Engineer

Description

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and maintaining production systems. Strong proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, and/or Node.js with TypeScript, building and operating production APIs. Hands-on experience designing and building RESTful APIs that are reliable, performant, well-documented, and easy for partners to integrate against. Solid understanding of both relational (SQL) and NoSQL databases - comfortable with schema and data-model design, query tuning, and reasoning about data correctness. Hands-on experience with document stores such as Amazon DocumentDB and Google Cloud Datastore is a plus. Familiarity with cloud service providers, particularly Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform - including the services typically used to run and observe API workloads (compute, storage, messaging, monitoring). Experience with modern engineering practices: version control (Git), automated testing, CI/CD, code review, and incremental delivery. Strong written and verbal communication skills - you can explain technical trade-offs to engineers and non-engineers alike, and your documentation is clear enough that the next person doesn't need to ask. A collaborative mindset and a strong sense of ownership - you take problems to completion and care about the experience of the people using what you build.
