The Role
We are looking for an additional experienced back-end software engineer to join us; you would deep-dive on challenging technical problems, build scalable solutions and identify performance bottlenecks, iterate quickly and deliver incremental value and thrive in a collaborative team environment.
Your engagement would usually start with requirements clarification with the product manager or our partners. You will have the opportunity to put the best of your ideas to the design and prove your coding skills in actual implementation. We primarily use micro-services written in GO on the back-end. However, we have legacy code in Ruby on Rails and you might encounter TypeScript too. We have data stores built on MySQL, PostgreSQL and various NoSQL databases like AWS DynamoDB. We are transitioning our data loading layer to use GraphQL.
