You have the opportunity to lead groups of other engineers and collaborate across teams. You will exercise your curiosity, collaborate with diverse teams of smart individuals and get a ton of learning opportunities from senior and principal engineers.We would love to have you as a mentor and inspiration for our younger and less experienced team members. Finally, we hope you will enjoy seeing how the things you build will delight our customers and help them become successful, as much as we do.You don’t need you to be an expert in databases or distributed systems as you will have a chance to learn with your team. We are attracted to engineers who love what they do and are passionate about their work. We appreciate curiosity and craftsmanship over knowledge in certain frameworks. Our technologies include:

  • Core Java 8
  • RESTful microservices powered by internal RPC framework
  • A lot of AWS stack – EC2, EBS, VPC, Route53, DynamoDB, cdk and Infrastructure as code etc. We eat our own dogfood all the time! Where can you learn AWS technologies better than at AWS itself?
  • Ruby/Python for infrastructure components and services
