Software Architect, GetDone
GetDone is a tech-enabled service provider under the Rex Ecosystem where any service you want, anywhere on Earth, is provided with high-quality, speed, and a reasonable price. We are bringing the simplicity and efficiency of technology to the complex and cumbersome world of services. We are looking for a Software Architect for an early revenue stage SaaS business within the Rex ecosystem to lead and guide the engineering efforts.
You’re passionate about building new technologies that can serve people and you can effectively architect the platform that makes it possible. You have an extreme bias to action and have never been accused of being overly analytical. You’re smart enough to identify and forthright enough to cut through any BS, both upwards and laterally. You must be hands-on with the code and have verifiable experience building systems from small to scale with a do-or-die start-up company. Working directly with the CEO and founding team, you’ll own the management of developers and the codebase for the company and will dramatically influence the direction of the technology and business for years to come.
What you'll do:
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning, and operations teams to deliver mission-critical exceptional products in a timely manner
- Lead the engineering team in evolving the architecture and maintain a high-quality, well-architected codebase
- Mentor others in their technology evaluations, designs, code, and implementations
- Act as a thought partner to the founder in ensuring the platform is well built to meet the short term goals but also long term durability and growth
- Clearly communicate to multiple stakeholders: engineers, operations, and executive team
- Hire and mentor A+ engineering talent - both local and outsourced
- Implement best practice engineering methods
Who you are:
- 7+ years of software development experience
- A track record of successfully leading, delivering, and evolving large technical projects and hitting results, in addition to a proven ability to solve difficult technical challenges and anticipate technical problems ahead of time.
- Strong grasp of data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems
- Experience with the following technologies: Kotlin (or JVM based languages - Java, Scala, Swift), JS Frameworks like ReactJS, APIs (Rest, GraphQL), message broker/event queue technologies (Rabbit, Kafka), Cloud Systems (AWS, GCP) and NoSQL databases.
- Experience and comfort with ambiguity and rapid changes common in early-stage product development
- Leading both onshore and offshore engineering teams
- Willingness to relocate to Austin, Texas
