You will be working with an Agile team of Solution Architects, Software Engineers, DevOps, QA engineers, Product Owners, and Designers in order to deliver business goals to solve product & customer pain points. We work with technologies like gRPC, Apache Flink, and various AWS services, so experience with any of these technologies will definitely be a major plus point.

  • BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field
  • An inquisitive mind and a willingness to learn new things are paramount
  • Experiences in deploying Docker containerized code to Kubernetes
  • Strong experience with Python. Knowledge of Go would be nice to have. Experience in NodeJs or Java will definitely be a plus point
  • Knowledge about different architectural patterns such as event-driven design and microservices would be ideal
  • Recognize impediments to our efficiency as a team ("technical debt"), propose and implement solutions
  • An active advocate for improvements to product quality, security, and performance
  • Exceptional communication and organizational skills 
  • Familiarity with Project Management tools, preferably Jira
