What is the role?

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our team. You will be responsible adding to our ever growing suite of features and APIs, and executing our ambitious roadmap.

You’d be joining a team of highly talented engineers from all walks of life—grandes écoles, university grads, and self-taught wizards. Our engineers are ex machine learning scientists, data engineers, game developers, and devops specialists, bringing expertise from startups, scale-ups, and big tech giants!

What you'll do

• Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and systems across our engineering team. You will be developing and scaling these from the ground up. Your design decisions will be the building blocks of our technical stack and have a lasting impact.
• Own critical parts of the product and work self-directed. We're a small team of individual contributors, everybody has autonomy and responsibility.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization, including our Product team.
• Contribute to hiring your future coworkers and improve our candidate experience.

Our tech stack

• Backend — Go: Providing best-in-class APIs to our eCommerce customers.
• Frontend — React, TypeScript: Creating a beautiful user interface. We iterate on designs and don’t compromise until we have a great product.
• Infrastructure — GCP: Maintaining a stable, secure fleet of servers.
• Tools — Linear for issue tracking, Github as source control, Postman for API development, Slack for internal communication, and many others.

You may be a good fit if

• You've written high quality code in object oriented languages in the past. While experience in Go is a plus, we care more about your general engineering skillset than knowledge of a specific language.
• You have 5+ years experience designing and implementing highly scalable and reliable systems.
