Collaborate closely with scientists, product managers, and designers to translate customer and brand challenges into impactful products that are deployed globally.
Leverage generative AI tools and advanced engineering practices to enhance both the quality and speed of development, while also mentoring team members to maximize their effectiveness with these tools.
Ensure the operational health of your services by actively monitoring key metrics, driving root-cause analysis for any issues, and continuously improving the experience for both customers and brand partners.
Elevate the team's technical standards through rigorous code reviews, active mentorship of junior engineers, and contributing to the hiring of top talent.
We are seeking candidates with a minimum of 3 years of professional software development experience (excluding internships) and at least 2 years of experience in designing or architecting new and existing systems, focusing on reliability and scalability.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is required.
Preferred qualifications include 3+ years of experience across the full software development lifecycle, encompassing coding standards, code reviews, source control, build processes, testing, and operations. Experience in building and delivering complex software systems successfully to customers, along with proficiency in debugging and profiling large-scale systems, is highly desirable.
