Shoplift, a NYC-based SaaS startup, empowers thousands of e-commerce merchants like Kith, Liquid Death, Olukai, and more, to acquire customers more efficiently and profitably by optimizing their online storefronts with our intelligent, automated experimentation and personalization platform.

Your Role:

In this role, you'll play an integral role in architecting and building new systems and features across every part of the application. We're looking for someone who is an engineer in every sense of the word; someone who loves to code, who is deeply knowledgeable about systems architecture, fundamental computing principles, and excels at building products from the ground up.

About the role:

• As our user base continues to rapidly grow, you'll be part "city planner" and part firefighter, developing a deep understanding of wide swathes of the product's most crucial components and designing new ways to make them scalable and sustainable
• You'll take things from whiteboard to reality, contemplating and architecting large features with complex requirements
• You will work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and data scientists to deliver powerful and accessible features

About you

• You love solving big, hairy problems and obsess over them until you find a solution
• You have experience with large, real-time data firehoses
• You can bust out a ton of code, but can also have business-level strategy conversations
• You love startups and are excited about being part of a fast-growing company
• You're a top performer and like to work with other top performers
• You're a quick learner. You can take a look at something you've never seen before and make sense of it quickly.
• You care about the “why” and want to understand the bigger picture of how the business is helping customers
• You’re thoughtful and resourceful. For you, problem-solving starts with a clear understanding of the context and an open mind to a wide array of potential solutions.
• You’re not above getting your hands dirty. Whatever it takes to get the job done
• You pride yourself on attention to detail

Requirements

• 6+ years of hands-on experience owning entire products or features
• Extensive experience managing database architecture and DB engines
• Extensive experience with Java or C#
• Typescript, JS
• Experience with ORMs (we use Entity Framework Core)
• Experience with asynchronous programming patterns
• Experience with Agile development practices, continuous integration and refactoring
• Understanding of microservices architecture and its deployment patterns in cloud environments.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with .NET 5+ runtime
• Located in NYC-area and comfortable with hybrid work environment (we're flexible)
• Experience with the Shopify ecosystem and/or Liquid

Nice to have

• Experience with advanced statistics
• Experience training ML models
• Experience with ETL pipelines
• Education: A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field

What we offer

• Competitive compensation that includes equity options
• Daily Seamless lunch stipend (when in-office)
• Free food: bagels every Tuesday, pizza every Thursday, and a wide array of snacks
• Generous time off policy, including paid parental leave
• Competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
