In this role, you'll work with a specific team within this organization to drive related technical & product strategy, operations, architecture, and execution for one of the largest sites in the world.

Poster Experience specifically focuses on the user journey, which is the main source of user content for the product. We aim to make it easier, faster, and smarter to create and participate in conversations, and we drive several core product metrics for the entire ecosystem.

This specific role will involve migrating legacy Python microservice code to one or more existing Go microservices. Successful candidates have prior experience in these migrations at large scale (think millions of actions per day) and understand how to instrument and monitor their code for parity and consistency during rollout.

Job Responsibilities

· Work cross-functionally, collaborate and partner with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute on product and business strategy and build novel products and features that our users will love.

· Contribute to the full development cycle: technical design, development, test, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code and design docs, giving feedback on product specs and mocks.

· Participate with a team of thoughtful, fast-moving, and motivated engineers. Contribute to standards that improve developer workflows, recommend best practices, and help mentor engineers on the team to grow their technical expertise.

· Continuously learn and improve your technical and non-technical abilities.

· Perform system analysis, troubleshooting, and debugging to identify and resolve integration issues

· Ensure compliance with security protocols and data privacy regulations during integration processes

· Troubleshoot and optimize application performance to provide optimal experience

· Design maintainable database schemas and easy-to-understand data structures

· Design technical solutions with little direction or guidance

· Engage in the team's organizational processes, such as planning, backlog refinement, and sprint reviews, to ensure effective collaboration and feedback

· Proactively identify and address potential technical issues and bottlenecks

· Minimum 8+ years of post-internship, full-time, hands-on, professional software development experience developing distributed backend systems at scale.

· Expertise in Python and Golang, as well as in large-scale Python -> Golang migrations

· Experience with distributed systems, microservices architecture, and handling high-throughput workloads

· Familiarity with software engineering best practices such as unit/integration/end-to-end testing, design documents, CI/CD, A/B testing, code reviews, and documentation

· Strong organizational skills, the ability to prioritize tasks and keep projects on schedule.

· Excellent communication skills. You collaborate effectively with teams in a fully remote environment and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.

· You love to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure. You care about innovation.

· Experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), caching systems (Redis, Memcached), and database technologies (SQL and NoSQL)

· Experience with GraphQL, REST, HTTP, and the ability to design maintainable APIs

Other Details

· Timing:- 4hrs of overlap with PST time zone (e.g :- 10am - 1pm PST)

· Work from home opp.

· Payment made based on only hours worked. Candidates need to take care of all statutory compliances and taxes by themselves.

· Most of the jobs require 8 hrs of work per day, hence they can't do dual employment and have to fully commit to the role.
