Requirements

Our stack is entirely cloud native, and it includes technologies such as AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Kafka, Node.js and Typescript.

• We wholeheartedly believe a good engineer can pick up any new technology in a reasonable amount of time and you’ll be given training and help during your onboarding to become fully proficient with our stack. What we expect you to already have is good will, as well as a deep understanding of full-stack software development life-cycle, devops methodologies, testing, and tooling.
• We’ll ask you about your previous experiences building large and complex high-throughput web systems, and we’ll hear the stories you’ll be willing to share about microservices, event-driven architectures, databases, or any tech challenge you’ve enjoyed. We’ll want to know how you went about improving the quality, security, scalability, and observability of the products you worked on, and how you would try to repeat that success at SuperAwesome. DevOps practices are an integral part of our culture, and we’ll want to hear what aspect of them you prefer, and what worked well for you out of the box, or how you adapted them to your needs.
• In a nutshell, we’re looking for a great engineer, and we’ll do our best to identify the greatness in you

Responsibilities

• As a Software Engineer at their company you will develop one of our existing products as part of a highly skilled and mission driven team committed to keeping a very high quality bar, evolving the system while keeping it simple, and focusing on having the highest impact on the end product.
• You will work closely with the Tech Lead and the other engineers in your team to define the appropriate technical approach, success metrics, and delivery timelines. You will have your say in the product roadmap and help the team and the Product Manager to make the most informed decisions to break down complex tech deliverables into simple and understandable user stories.
• Quality is key for us, so you will ensure all product components are built to an appropriate level of quality for the stage (alpha/beta/production), deliver products using the appropriate level of testing and monitoring, fail fast, and learn and iterate frequently. You will champion continuous improvement and always aim to improve the product your team owns and measure your impact with the appropriate tech, product, or delivery metrics.
• You’ll join a team committed to high-speed iterations, high code quality, and continuous improvement via agile processes
• While most of the work is on the back-end of our systems, you’ll work across the full application stack depending on where you can drive the highest impact
• You’ll work with your team to design and implement features and services for the product your team owns, and keep the design choices well documented and explained
• You’ll drive quality and reliability from the get go, lowering the complexity of the system
• You will master the domains you’ll be working on, and will break complex goals down to simple and easy-to-maintain deliverables
• You’ll ensure long-term quality, scalability and maintainability of our systems
• You’ll champion the devops culture, treat operations with a mission-critical mindset, and support the live system in production, including participation in our out-of-hours on-call rotation
