Role Overview:

You are someone who loves building software that people genuinely love using. You want to make things that excite people. That add joy to their daily lives. And you want to do it with people who are working towards a common goal and see your success as their success. You will be joining a team that values getting things done, helping others get things done, and building towards an amazing future.

Our customers are designers and engineers who care about the details, the small stuff. Every bit of the customer experience is important and we’re not just talking about features. Every bit of friction is something that gets in the way of creativity and innovation. Our job is to foster both of those things.

You like to go really deep because you love to unravel things, both to understand how they work and to use them beyond what others thought was possible. You love both new and interesting things, but also things that are proven to work because you’ve been burned by the new and shiny before. You aren’t afraid to tackle any problem head on with the support of talented people to help. You enable people to do their best and achieve things together they never thought possible. Because you care. Because you genuinely want to deliver something that people love.

If that sounds like you, we want you here. We need you here! We have super ambitious goals that we think will genuinely make a difference for our customers. You’ll help us achieve those goals.

Responsibilities:

• Provide services that are used by all InVision's products and teams
• Continuously deliver solutions using Go, Kafka, SQL, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, and more
• Operate your services in production
• Ensure your software is well-designed, well-tested, and scales to millions of users
• Ensure you and your teammates are following good development practices and getting better every day
• Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to your fellow engineers

Requirements:

• Demonstrates a high degree of personal accountability and is a team multiplier
• Loves to code, to write tests, and to problem solve and debug
• Learns continuously
• Creates a positive environment for the people around you
• Designs performant systems for high throughput workloads
