Job Description

Button’s mission is to build a better way to do business in mobile. Today, we work with some of the largest and most interesting businesses in the world, to connect consumers with what they want at the tap of a button. We build with the consumer experience in mind, and we have a reputation for paving the future of mobile and enjoying the road to get there.

As a Software Engineer on our Platform team you’ll design and build the services, APIs and frameworks that sit at the very foundation of Button’s business. Our portfolio includes the programmatic interfaces that connect Button to many of the largest brands in e-commerce, and the real-time decisioning engine that ensures we’re able to provide the best offer to each customer.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will lead the design of new services and frameworks that advance our ambitious product goals. You’ll be a key contributor to shaping our Engineering and technical culture, driving design reviews and providing guidance and direction to developing members of our team

Our Engineering team values a fast moving and high-trust environment that affords each member the opportunity to develop expertise operating services at meaningful scale in a distributed cloud environment. You’ll compose solutions from a broad range of technologies, including Go, NodeJS, Docker, Prometheus and ECS. You’ll also move fast; we ship changes to production dozens of times each day.

As a senior software engineer in the platform team you will:

• Develop scalable, low-latency web services using a variety of tools and languages, including Go, NodeJS, Docker and ECS.
• Collaborate with a cross-functional team to develop new features within our core platforms. You will work with product managers to translate user and partner requirements into technical designs, and with other Engineers to bring those designs to life with an emphasis on scalability, latency and accuracy.
• Deliver the APIs and programmatic interfaces that drive deep integrations between Button and our largest partners.
• Maintain a‘mystery-free’ production environment and keep the pagers quiet by implementing excellent monitoring, anticipating and planning for the unexpected.

We look for team mates who have

• A passion for building reliable and scalable backend services in a distributed environment, and an interest in exploring new technologies.
• A strong understanding of relational databases, and experience building stateful web services.
• An excellent understanding of API design, and experience designing reliable RESTful APIs.
• Experience coding in Go, Javascript / NodeJS, or Python — our major programming languages.
• Experience and comfort in a production environment. You’ll be working in a“magic-free” service-oriented environment, using AWS ECS, Docker, and HTTP everywhere.

Who will you work with

• Mike Wakerly, CTO: Mikey is Button’s Hawaiian shirt enthusiast and Chief Technology Officer. A former Googler and a San Francisco transplant, he loves mountain biking, tinkering on electronics, and any excuse to take a road trip.

• James (or Jimmy) McGill, VP of Engineering: Hailing formerly from both Australia and Google, he spends his weekends hiking, surfing and designing and building furniture. See James for all of your Vegemite needs.

• Liwei Mao, Software Engineer: With a team of talented engineers, she designs and builds the platform that powers Button's monetization tech. She loves traveling for food, weekend kickball, and hot yoga classes.

• We believe and invest in personal growth, and we’ve got the results to back it up. We’ve been recognized multiple times by Fortune, Inc., and Crain’s magazines as one of the best places to work in the US.
• We value diversity and come from all sorts of different backgrounds. Some of our teammates hail from big tech companies like Google; from financial giants like Bloomberg and MasterCard; and from previous startups like Chartbeat, Compass, and Blue Apron. We were especially proud the first time we hired a coding boot camp graduate.
