Job description

Title: Senior Backend Software Engineer

Summary:

Our back-end software development is highly database-centric. We are looking for an experienced (6 to 10 years) backend programmer with expertise in Java, Postgres, Firebase RTDB, and Snowflake to help implement product functions and business logic that Firebase’s document database isn’t suited for, such as complex queries and aggregation. The backend communicates with the frontend and Firebase via an asynchronous message bus and is highly multi-threaded. Linux experience is essential, and familiarity with cluster orchestration and Docker containers is a plus. This small team works closely with the Chief Software Architect, using Agile methodologies to deliver code frequently.

Duties & Responsibilities:

1. Contribute significantly to the development of cloud-based, web applications with high scalability, reliability, and availability.
2. Collaborate extensively with product management, research, and engineering teams on large-scale projects.
3. Take initiative and demonstrate enthusiasm in solving challenging problems with innovative designs.

Qualifications:

1. Experience designing and implementing distributed systems.
2. Expertise in relational database design and querying.
3. Proficiency in multithreaded and asynchronous programming in Java.
4. Linux configuration and operational experience.
5. Experience with Docker.
6. Cloud infrastructure experience, specifically with Google Cloud Services.
7. Strong technical documentation skills.

Preferred additional experience or interest in:

1. Document store databases (Firebase, MongoDB, etc.).
2. Snowflake.
