Responsibilities:
- Become a master of your software engineering craft, and work with other software engineers who are smart enough to teach you, and humble enough to learn from you.
- Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems for our customers.
- Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum scalability, stability, and performance.
- Use test-driven development, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver high-quality software and rapidly fix bugs as they come up.
- Work closely with, and incorporate feedback from other engineering team members, QA, product owners, and our APM customers.
- Leverage agile practices to release small batches of value to customers continuously. – test-driven development, pair programming, live code review, continuous integration, and continuous delivery.
- You’ve heard of Ruby and Rails and have experience working with a language like Ruby, Java, or Python. You may even know enough about React and Typescript to have opinions about how frequently "the new hot thing" changes.
- You love learning about new technologies but understand the value of using something old if it still does everything you need it to do.
- You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate.
- You bring your A-game to daily standup competitions — because nothing tastes better than victory (especially when it comes with a free team lunch).
- Experience working across all levels of the development stack
- Experience with some areas of our tech like Ruby on Rails, React, MySQL, AWS, SOA
- Familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban
- Familiarity with Test-Driven-Development
