Senior Software Engineer, Platform Services

Worldwide | May 14, 2023

Report as Closed

Company: Going

Salary: $120,000 - $130,000

Type: Remote

Employment: Full-time

Description:

About the role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Platform Services team, you will own a wide variety of components of our backend systems. Some of these components include our deals ingestion system, APIs, authentication layer, asynchronous job systems, and more. Our primary goal is to maintain stability, scale our systems, and empower our outcome teams to delight our members.

 

In the short term, you will

  • Become familiar with our code bases, code style, tech stack, development and deployment process, and project management process

  • Contribute to the system architecture and design process

  • Give direction and oversight to junior engineers on implementation of the system designs you helped develop as well as being an individual contributor in the execution

  • Work with a cross-functional team to support development of new features

  • Refactor, QA, and improve existing code

  • Write and maintain robust tests to ensure the stability of our backend systems

 

In the long term, you will

  • Be an expert with all of our tooling: Bugsnag, Metabase, Heroku, New Relic, and more.

  • Bring creative solutions to projects to support the continual improvement of Going.

  • Contribute to scaling our Deals pipeline and data ecosystem to enable machine learning capabilities.

  • Maintain and expand on our APIs that power our web app and (coming soon) mobile app

  • Cultivate relationships across engineering teams within Going so that we continue to build a highly collaborative environment.

  • Continue education/training. Everyone should be working in some way at all times towards the next step in their career.

  • Mentor all engineers on the team and make your experience a valuable resource to everyone.

 

What you bring to the table

  • High autonomy: We don’t like being micromanaged, and we don’t like micromanaging others. Leading developers are those we trust to do what is right without leadership stepping in. You've demonstrated that you can accomplish complex tasks you're assigned without hands-on oversight and direction.

  • Intellectual curiosity: You are motivated to try new methods and learn new technologies without direction to do so. You are always thinking of ways to improve existing systems or build better ones.

  • Great attention to detail: You have a nose for edge cases and can anticipate potential snags when discussing technical solutions.

  • Balance of refinement and pragmatism: We will lean on you to know when to dial in the perfect abstraction vs shipping simple, working code.

  • Excellent communication skills: We are a fully remote company that relies heavily on async communication. Staying tuned-in to our communications channels will be integral to your success here.

  • Resourcefulness: You lean on your experience to drive you to an optimal solution. When you don’t know how to solve a problem, you know how to comprehensively research to find the solution. You are the person that people talk to when they can't figure something out.

  • Resilience: No one is perfect. You’ve made some mistakes, but you can acknowledge your failures and take full responsibility for them. By making mistakes, you’ve learned to avoid pitfalls and make architectural decisions that allow you to maneuver through challenges of uncertainty and complexity. You demonstrate and promote a culture of accountability and learning, not a culture of blame.
