Job description

About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer 2 to help lead the development of fast, well‑tested, and performant code for our web applications and modernize our application stack. If you are the kind of engineer passionate about developing well‑built, reusable components following industry best practices, and love working in a collaborative environment with product partners and dependency teams, then we want to talk to you.

What will you do:

• Collaborate with Designers, Product Managers, and Software Engineers to build and maintain the user experience, accessibility, and development feasibility of the website, applications, and supporting digital spaces.

• Contribute towards engineering excellence in areas like automated unit testing.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders on project design and implementation and other developers to maintain standards and create a reusable codebase.
• Expected to be self‑motivated, needing little guidance on completing tasks on time and meeting expectations in terms of requirements.
• Explain and “whiteboard” complex technical issues to audiences with varying levels of technical expertise.
• Debug software components and identify code defects for remediation.
• Assist in automating deployments to development and other environments.

Skills And Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience building scalable, data‑driven backend systems and APIs.
• Strong proficiency in server‑side programming (e.g., Node.js, Python, or Java).
• Strong understanding of system design, data architecture, and microservices or modular monoliths.
• Skilled in designing and implementing RESTful APIs and integrating with third‑party services and external SDKs.
• Experienced with SQL and NoSQL databases — e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis — with the ability to optimize queries and model complex data relationships.
• Solid experience with cloud‑native architecture using AWS (serverless, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, S3, CloudFormation, etc.) or equivalent platforms.
• Familiarity with event‑driven systems, asynchronous processing, and message queues (Kafka, SNS/SQS, RabbitMQ, etc.).
• Demonstrated understanding and implementation of software design principles such as SOLID and DRY with Software as a Service (SaaS), multi‑tenancy application development.
• Embraces the concepts of Agile Scrum software development and its related collaboration and issue‑tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, Rally).
• Experience working in a Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CICD) model, including GitHub and CI pipeline automation tools.
• Ability to triage and resolve incidents and lead incident investigations.
