Your Impact

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Business Technology team, you’ll design and build the engines that drive our business. You will create custom applications and back-end microservices that will allow internal business leaders to make data-driven decisions. You will deliver real customer value while pursuing ‘high marks’ on these quality attributes: availability, scalability, interoperability, modifiability, performance, security, and testability.

What You'll Do

• Work with world-class engineers to solve challenging problems using cutting-edge technologies.
• Participate in an agile environment with small, self-managed teams and a mature development process.
• Design and build sophisticated, distributed, microservice architectures in the cloud. These are custom applications and back-end services that support the company's operations and business needs. 
• Implement transactional or eventually consistent stores that provide well-encapsulated domain object semantics.
• Build highly scalable and performant data pipelines that leverage serverless and containerized compute that balance cost, latency, and duration.
• Evaluate whether existing software tools on the market can solve a business problem, or whether custom code is needed (buy vs. build).
• Collaborate with a team of passionate professionals to build software that transforms the way we run our business.

Who You Are

• A proven engineer with 7+ years of hands-on software engineering experience including having designed and built enterprise-level software applications.  
• Passionate about building software and solving hard problems using Python, Java, C#, or C++.
• Have experience with multiple software stacks throughout your career and are willing to adapt to new ones.
• Have the ability to design and communicate external and internal architectural perspectives of well-encapsulated systems using tools such as architecture/design patterns and sequence diagrams.
• Have experience designing and operating software in a cloud provider such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Have API design and data model implementation experience, including how to scale out, make highly available, or map to storage systems.
• Have experience using Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) with an emphasis on a well-maintained testing pyramid.
• Have experience coordinating with product management to ensure dependencies can be satisfied across teams and functionality.
• Approach software from a systems perspective and have the aspirational goal of everything being ‘well-crafted.’
• Have experience operating in an Agile environment. 

Even Better If You…

• Have experience with ‘Big Data’ technologies such as: Kafka, AWS EMR, Apache Spark, DataFlow or Pipeline Systems, Columnar Databases, ElasticSearch, NoSql stores.
• Have experience implementing custom integrations with third party back-office solutions such as Salesforce.
• Know how to identify, select, and extend 3rd party components (commercial or open source) that provide operational leverage but do not constrain our product and engineering creativity.
