Backend Engineer

About the Job

As a Backend Software Engineer, you’ll take business requirements to help us build a world-class user experience. Collaborating with other members of the Frontend and Design Team, you’ll gather requirements and implement the back-end infrastructure of new features and updates to our existing platform. When bugs in the system pop up, you’re able to dig in, debug the issue, and find a resolution that solves the root cause - and doesn’t create new ones! Whether it’s overcoming a technical hurdle or finding a solution that helps users, your passion for solving problems will help you be successful in this role.

Your experience...

- 5+ years of back-end development experience
- experience and familiarity with Golang and Typescript
- Unit Testing & TDD
- Integrating with 3rd party services
- Architecting solutions based on requirements & making sound technical decisions without guidance
- Writing quality code that is easy to understand and scales well (with strong opinions on why it's important)
- Developing database structures optimized for performance and scalability
- Building “right-sized” solutions that balance current limitations to meet business needs
- Continuously looking for ways to improve technical abilities and platform infrastructure
- Deeply understanding how technical decisions may affect other teams/product

What we value

> Stay lean - We strive for the greatest possible impact with the fewest number of employees. We empower our teammates with the most leveraged tools and efficient processes.
> Default to open - We encourage and nurture open exchanges of knowledge and ideas — while acting with respect and regard for each other.
> Think rigorously - We act and execute after careful thought and examination of known information, while acknowledging the risks we accept in its absence.

> Global optimization - We believe that our mission — to make the workplace a source of learning and purpose — is the ultimate priority, above any single project, team, or individual.
