Qualifications

About the Role

We’re seeking engineers who are not only excited to work across a diverse set of technologies and a broad set of requirements, but someone who can challenge assumptions and ask questions that make the rest of the team think, “why do we do it this way?” Most of all, you should be user focused, data driven and passionate about collaborating with your teammates and peers. Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and maintaining critical path production services

• Building tools and libraries that make it easy to take advantage of our infrastructure

• Identifying opportunities to improve our architecture, operability or capabilities

About You

• You have 1+ years coding in at least one programming language (e.g. Java, Scala, PHP, Python, C#, Go, JavaScript, Ruby, etc) in a production environment.

• You have some shell scripting experience.

• You’re customer focused and always build with a user in mind.

• You use data to inform your decisions.

• You’re a strong communicator and know how to match the message to the medium.

• Extra marks if you’ve been exposed to technologies such as MySQL, Kafka, Dataflow, Dataproc, Bigtable, Kubernetes or their equivalents.
