- Leverage leading public cloud providers’ tools and services to create efficient, performant, and modern application architectures.
- Discover new tools and techniques to optimize cost, deployment speed, developer effort, and resource usage.
- Review PRs and use them as an opportunity to mentor other developers on the team.
- Participate in Agile ceremonies and plan for sprints with a two-week cadence.
- Provide operational support for our applications including participation in the team’s on-call rotation.
- Help establish, improve, and advocate best practices around our application and infrastructure monitoring.
You want to:
- Collaborate to design and implement well-tested, performant applications with an emphasis on concurrency.
- Use and leverage Agile methodologies.
- Ship API solutions implementing GraphQL and REST at scale via a collection of services.
- Write scalable software using Golang (experience with Ruby, Node, Python or similar languages/environments is a plus.)
- Automate deployment and scaling using Terraform and Kubernetes.
- Did we mention testing? You will be creating a lot of effective unit and integration tests.
We would love you to have:
- Experience as a self-starter that thrives in a remote-friendly environment.
- At least 2 years' experience creating and maintaining software platforms and deployments. We believe in DevOps - We run what we build.
- Experience developing APIs, SDKs, and CLI tooling.
