Collaborate with management, design, and platform-specific development teams to define, design, and build new functionality as required
Design, build and refactor our architecture as we evolve, with maintainability and efficient abstraction in mind
Verify, test and deploy new builds
Inspire and lead other developers, ensuring their growth
Mentor other developers to help them grow, and to ensure our design and development efforts and ethos remain aligned

Plan for the future
Propose, evaluate, select, and adopt new technologies when needed
Ensure that you are on top of changes to critical parts of our infrastructure (e.g. AWS, GRPC, Postgres, Redis, Envoy, RabbitMQ, etc.) so that we can adopt newer versions without affecting performance or functionality
Shape our API and third party integration strategy
Proactively suggest changes to balance cost, scale, security, performance, deployability and utility
Load test regularly, and plan for the next 1-2 orders of scale

This opportunity is for you if you are:
Experienced (have 5+ years experience of designing and building commercial back end systems), with a strong analytical mind, and an ethical approach
Comfortable with the fundamentals of computer science and information architecture, including knowledge of data structures, algorithms, their complexity, their tradeoffs, and their implementation (e.g. trees, graphs, sorting algorithms, and their various Big O implications)
Someone who has led or been part of small teams of developers through the entire software development lifecycle, in maintaining and continually improving a lean software development process, and in delivering high quality code reviews, with a toolbelt of best practices for professional software development
Excited about thoughtfully building scalable platforms
