Your team

Your new team is a group of motivated, collaborative, and innovative Engineers. Working on-site, hybrid, or fully remote, they come together to create and evolve a well-loved product but always keep room for new ideas and approaches. Outside of work, they’re parents, gamers, bookworms, adrenaline junkies, and so much more.

Your mission

As a Backend Engineer working in the Developer Experience team, you’ll take on a challenging role in collaborating with product managers, stakeholders, and fellow engineers to build and optimize a dynamic, scalable, and high-impact platform.

Our team takes pride in creating seamless user experiences while ensuring the underlying systems are efficient, robust, and extendable. You'll contribute to architectural decisions, and drive technical excellence across the stack with emphasis on the Backend at scale.

You'll contribute to the evolution of our platform, ensuring efficient data structures, clear API interfaces, building and evolving developer tools and framework, supporting platform extensibility and scale third-party integrations.

Your work will encompass API design and implementation, ensuring high-quality code with well-defined testing strategies and having a scalability mindset. Your expertise in API design, scalability and understanding of public facing interfaces will be instrumental in enhancing our platform’s reliability and extensibility.

Your responsibilities

• You will work with an experienced team to design, develop and implement hyperscaling solutions to third party systems, increasing the extensibility of our systems and supporting external developers through great documentation.
• You will build and refine API interfaces and service communications, ensuring clarity, scalability, and adaptability.
• You’ll collaborate across teams to create efficient contracts and interfaces, leveraging your generalist mindset to approach varied challenges when supporting external developers.
• You will maintain and enhance existing solutions, proactively identifying and resolving issues.
• You will partner closely with product management, design, and engineering toward viable product development changes from discovery to delivery.
• You’ll coach and mentor fellow engineers through pair programming, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
