About DASTAN
We are seeking a Software Engineer who can take full ownership of features and deliver high-quality, maintainable solutions within a flexible squad structure. You’ll work closely with product, design, and fellow engineers to bring technical insight to the planning process, and ensure that what we ship is performant, scalable, and impactful.
Job DescriptionSoftware Engineers independently own feature development and contribute to planning, code quality, and team productivity within flexible squads. Squads are assembled dynamically based on project needs, availability, and best fit for the work. Engineers in this role are expected to understand service boundaries and design features that align with a microservices architecture.
Responsibilities- Feature Development: Own and implement scalable, maintainable features aligned with the squad’s roadmap and technical direction.
- Squad Participation: Actively engage in squad planning, retrospectives, demos, and async updates to ensure transparency and delivery.
- Code Quality Assurance: Write and review high-quality code and tests that align with team standards and CI/CD requirements.
- Requirement Analysis: Work closely with Squad Leads, Product Partners, and Senior Engineers to translate business needs into actionable tasks.
- Version Control: Use Git and structured workflows for effective collaboration, review, and delivery.
- Performance Optimization: Identify and resolve performance issues across features or services to ensure responsive, stable systems.
- Infrastructure Management: Own deployment and operational infrastructure (Kubernetes, Azure, Cloudflare Workers), driving reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency across services.
- Documentation: Maintain clear, useful documentation on decisions, systems, and workflows to ensure visibility and continuity.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with QA, Design, and Product to ship features that are user-centered and technically sound.
- Microservices Contribution: Design and deliver features with an understanding of distributed systems, service ownership, and cross-service communication.
- Communication: Communicate proactively and clearly in written updates, planning sessions, and code reviews. Ask thoughtful questions and help clarify requirements and blockers.
- Mentorship: Support junior engineers through pairing, feedback, and sharing of technical context.
- Review and Present: Participate in squad demos, share what you’ve built, and incorporate feedback from stakeholders.
