  • Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
  • Review functional and technical documentation and improve where needed.
  • Contribute to analysis of software projects including performance, diagnosis, and troubleshooting.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (QA, DevOps, Product) throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Create and maintain documentation for developed APIs.
  • Apply design patterns and best practices as needed.
  • Have a keen eye for improving scalability, performance, security, and reliability.
  • Participate in on-call rotations to support the production environment - usually a 2-week rotation (with support and shadowing as needed).
  • Actively participate in mentorship programs and receive guidance from senior engineers, in order to grow your depth of knowledge.

  • You align with our core values and you're simply a good human.
  • You're comfortable asking questions and working through ambiguity in a fast-paced environment.
  • Comfortable with software development with Visual Studio Code.
  • Able to work remotely and have a dedicated work space.
  • A strong desire to learn new technologies and demonstrate a "growth mindset".
  • Show initiative & ownership, and demonstrate a bias for action.
