Job description

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer II to join our Growth R&D engineering team and play a crucial role in driving growth via our product activation strategy.

You will collaborate closely with Product and UX Design and work across the full tech stack to ship everything from large-scale multi-product experiences that span across the Cloud Console to small but impactful Growth experiments to realize incremental improvements to activation business metrics. In addition to customer-facing features, you’ll partner closely with product and engineering leaders to build and constantly make improvements to our app and control plane platforms and architecture, while ensuring operational excellence. The ideal candidate has both a deep full stack engineering background and a keen product sense grounded in data-driven methodologies.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the development of both large-scale product features and smaller data-driven feature experiments, while working closely with product and engineering partners across multiple organizations.
• Work across our full stack, primarily in Typescript, React, GraphQL, and Go.
• Collaborate with product, UX design, and other technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Drive and support the team in operational excellence.
• Drive architecture for complex systems by determining current limitations and working with the team and peers across Product Engineering to come up with solutions.
• Ideate, design and implement Growth experiments across the product surface area, while being a champion for data-driven experimentation for other Product Engineering teams.

What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean:

• Bachelor and/or Master Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in a fast-paced, high growth tech environment building customer-facing products and features as a Fullstack Software Engineer.
• Strong candidates will have 2+ years of experience working in a Growth-oriented team, and have experience designing and implementing data-driven growth experiments in addition to building product features.
• Able to make effective trade-offs in regards to both engineering and product requirements, while balancing short term and long term needs.
• Strong analytical and data interpretation skills, with experience in metrics-driven decision making and A/B testing.
• Experience with distributed systems and how to scale them is nice to have.
• Prior demonstrated experience contributing to systems, platforms and products owned by multiple engineering teams is a bonus.
• Demonstrated design, UX and product sensibilities and an affinity for wearing the customer’s shoes.

Why You’ll Like Working for DigitalOcean

• We innovate with purpose. You’ll be a part of a cutting-edge technology company with an upward trajectory, who are proud to simplify cloud and AI so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world.
• We prioritize career development. At DO, you’ll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that will always challenge you to think big.
