Job description

Senior Software Development Engineer - Catalog (@Remote, Florida)

Florida

The OfferUp Catalog team is responsible for the key infrastructure that allows users to efficiently post items on our platform and make them available for potential buyers. Our team leverages various technologies and workflows to provide a meaningful user experience to our sellers as well as the core foundation and data used by the rest of the application. The team manages some of the highest TPS services within OfferUp. We have barely scratched the surface in terms of what we want to do and the possibilities are endless.

At many organizations, your role begins and ends with the code. On our team, we’re different. You own a feature from concept to fruition. Your responsibilities will include everything from writing well architected and thoroughly tested code, to rolling out the feature by analyzing metrics. You also get to take ownership beyond your technical area by working with cross-functional team members.

As a Senior Software Development Engineer in our team, you will set the technical strategy for the team, develop/deploy multiple features with high operational excellence and continuously improve our engineering/operational excellence.

Here’s more of what you will get to do:

• Develop a technical strategy for our team
• Develop highly scalable real-time microservices without compromising on reliability, latency, and monitoring.
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to design and implement new features
• Collaborate with OfferUp wide engineering teams to surface common pain points, develop solutions and evangelize best practices
• Identify when to replace and when to rebuild legacy systems
• Support, mentor, and help other engineers in the team
• Participate in a reasonable on-call rotation with the rest of the team
• Collaborate with stakeholders to drive features and assess timelines.
• Help maintain code quality in existing applications.
• Create solutions and/or frameworks that make other team members better and faster

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• 5+ years professional software engineering experience
• Experience performing data analysis and translating the results into business recommendations
• Experience in working with data-driven applications at scale
• Strong coding skills in Java(required), and any other modern programming language coupled with strong knowledge in object-oriented design and microservices architecture
• Experience with AWS and other Cloud infrastructures
• Hands on experience with real-time messaging systems
• Hands on experience in designing and building microservices and scalable distributed systems
• Strong knowledge of Data Structures and Object Oriented Design
• Hands on experience with load balancing, and handling large data traffic
• An insatiable desire and ability to learn
• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience

Helpful, but not required:

• Experience with Agile development

Target Compensation: $195k - $215k

OfferUp offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package where you’ll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to the business. Individual salaries within our ranges are determined through a variety of factors including, but not limited to education, experience, knowledge, skills and geography. All roles will receive equity in OfferUp as part of their compensation, the amount of equity varying depending on the individual’s level and experience.

In addition to our compensation package, this role is eligible to enroll in health insurance, healthcare savings and spending accounts, retirement savings benefits (401(k) plan with match), basic and voluntary life insurance, disability benefits, and paid time off for sick leave, family and/or medical leave, vacation, and 12 company holidays. In regard to vacation time, OfferUp has a flexible vacation policy and, in general, full-time exempt employees will be expected to take 3-5 weeks (15-30 days) of pre-planned vacation time per year. Vacation needs are flexible and will naturally vary from year to year based on individual circumstances and business needs. In regard to sick time, all full-time employees (exempt and non-exempt) will be granted 12 days (96 hours) of sick time per year (pro-rated if they start a date other than January 1). Your recruiter can share more details about specific benefits during the interview process.
