Your Opportunity
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our augmented incident response engineering organization. Our mission is to optimize the observation, investigation, and resolution of production incidents and to continuously produce insights and improvements for the monitoring of complex production systems.
We are a team of interdisciplinary specialists. Our atmosphere is of a startup backed up by a successful corporation. The team is responsible for what we believe is the future of Applied Intelligence: assimilating huge amounts of data and AI’ing the heck out of it in order to help our customers solve problems quickly and efficiently. Our vision is to be able to fix some problems magically without waking up anyone. For a proud parent of an application, we want to be the most perfect Au Pair anyone can imagine!
Are a passionate collaborator that uses reason when enthusiastically communicating your opinions and listens to others’ approaches. You’re proactive, never taking the present state for granted and always striving to understand why things are done the way they are done. You’re a clean coder with readable, simple, and maintainable code.
You quickly grasp large & complex systems and their inner workings. You’re experienced with software engineering best practices (testing, code reviews, immutability, etc.). You’re deeply familiar with the tools, libraries, and frameworks that you’ve worked with and feel at home in production environments. Also, you are aware that you might receive many TikTok videos filled with cuteness from an overly engaged team member.
What You'll Do
Design, develop and test production-grade components within a micro-service architecture implemented mostly in Kotlin.
Collaborate with Engineers, Product Managers, designers, and other partners to frame problems within the business and product context.
Own engineering initiatives for multiple backend components and projects.
Contribute to the product technical design, architecture and implementation of our backend components
