  • You like shipping things. Whether it is bug fixes or features, you realize that every line of code is an opportunity to make a user’s experience better.

OUR ENGINEERING TEAM RIGHT NOW

We are currently 6 developers. Our roles are divided based on the projects we work on.


Some of us are full stack and tend to jump between projects whereas some of us specialize in certain parts of the stack. Our stack currently looks like:

We prioritize our internal projects based on what features our customers are requesting the most. Some things that you will work on include:

  • Real-time data discovery – enhance and extend our real-time data discovery engine
  • Performance – we’d like every API call to complete within 500ms
  • Architecture – all core functionality should be designed in a way that it can be consumed as a standalone library
  • DevOps – deploy internal applications in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner
  • APIs – improve the depth of our integrations with 3rd party services, such as Salesforce


MUST HAVES

  • 3+ years programming experience and 2+ years Java experience
  • You know how to use Java in a modern way without enterprise bloat
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • We don’t require a degree but you should have demonstrated the ability to learn new things quickly (either self-learned, from a bootcamp, or from school)


BONUS NICE-TO-HAVES

  • Worked at a startup or a small company before
  • Experience with modern DevOps practices with AWS, GCP, Docker, and such
  • A knack for taking a metrics-driven approach using Grafana or similar
