Job description

Senior Back End Engineer

We are looking for a world class Senior Back End Engineer to help shape the engineering team and build a world class product!

We were created when a Rockstar Registered Nurse and a whip‑smart techie joined forces to create a proprietary scheduling system.

The two set out on a mission to change the never-ending nursing shortage in healthcare.

Outcomes

• Implement changes that precisely match product specifications
• Help improve specification by asking questions about edge cases and behavior during the planning and scoping stages
• Provide product feedback to the rest of the team when new ideas and problems arise
• Focus on projects that have an impact on improving business metrics and allow the team to quickly implement A|B tests to help determine improvements
• Increase the visibility of service performance and health and ensure we have the appropriate logs/alerts in place to respond quickly and recover from problems
• Improve the stability and performance of the backend services, and increase visibility into the health of the system by improving our logging, alerting, and process around recovering from problems
• Write code that has been tested well enough before shipping so that we do not cause a noticeable increase in the number of support issues filed over time
• When critical bugs are shipped to production, proactively identify root causes and take the appropriate resolution actions so that we can recover quickly
• Stay up to date on the latest technologies relevant to the backend tech stack, and use this knowledge to implement new features and changes if they’ll provide a better experience
• Proactively assist other engineers on the team in fixing bugs and shipping features and updates
• Write maintainable code that can be quickly updated as needed, and is testable and easily understood by other engineers on the team
• Provide fairly accurate engineering time estimates
• Be on call from time to time if there are critical issues on production that need debugging
• Take ownership and responsibility to finish the features and issues assigned to you, while collaborating with the team
• Assist deploying builds to production and QA environments, and have visibility on the status of Pull Requests and builds as they get deployed
• Provide helpful code reviews and ensure PRs do not linger with long delays in review time
• Devise innovative and cost‑effective strategies for identifying and preventing bugs
• Proactively refactor code that needs improvement, but without getting lost in constantly refactoring projects
• Build a secure application architecture and work with other teams to build a secure information architecture
• Become a reliable go‑to resource on the team for feature changes and updates as new projects arise, such that you can be relied on to ship the changes in a timely manner at the quality level expected by the team

Technical Experience

• 6+ years of Java development experience
• Strong OOP experience
• Experience with Maven, Junit
• Database experience desired
• NoSQL experience desired
• Experience working in distributed systems
• Experience architecting backend systems using Java based microservices
• Good understanding of AWS Cloud (EC2, S3, ECS)
• Exposure to CI/CD, static code analysis
• Previous experience as a technical lead desired

Competencies

• Growth mindset: receives feedback easily and incorporates it quickly
• Proactive executor: thoughtful in approach and decisive in decisions
• Pragmatic: balance scrappiness and rigor
• Great technical communicator
• Strong attention to detail
• Strong product and architectural instincts
• Enthusiasm and passion for quality
• Takes responsibility for making sure issues are resolved
