Responsibilities
Develop production applications: Build and maintain services and user interfaces using core technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, and more
Maintain and debug software: Instrument applications with logs, metrics, and traces; use them to diagnose and resolve production issues. Build dashboards and alerts, and participate in a minimally interruptive on-call rotation
Collaborate and communicate: Contribute across the full software development lifecycle—planning, requirements gathering, design, development, testing, and maintenance. Provide thorough code reviews, seek feedback on your own work, and partner with product owners to ensure a strong user experience and right-sized scope
Continuously improve quality: Add unit and integration tests, fix bugs, reduce technical debt, and stay current with evolving technologies
Use AI responsibly: Leverage AI tools such as code assistants, test generators, and documentation summarizers to accelerate work—validating outputs, citing sources when relevant, and always maintaining human review
Keep learning: Seek feedback, pair program, and grow skills across our stack, including backend, frontend, data, and cloud
Results-oriented: You work with your team to clarify ambiguous tasks, design and implement solutions efficiently, and communicate progress, challenges, and blockers effectively
Technically strong: You have broad and deep technical knowledge, capable of building applications end-to-end—from UI to database. You understand web application and microservice architectures and know when to apply transactional vs. eventual consistency models
Learner’s mindset: You’re always seeking to learn, ask thoughtful questions, and act quickly on feedback
Collaborative teammate: You communicate clearly and respectfully, foster a supportive team environment, and handle differing opinions with professionalism and openness
AI-augmented, not AI-dependent: You use AI tools to assist, not replace, thoughtful engineering and human judgment
Ownership and accountability: You take pride in your work, feel a deep sense of ownership, and reflect on both successes and setbacks to continually improve
