• Collaborating with Product Managers, the management team and others to shape the vision for the team and its services
• Building technology the right way by designing simple, well-tested systems that deliver value immediately, can grow over time, and provide insights into production performance
• Supporting existing production deployments by participating in on-call hours during the workday and occasional after-hours rotations
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant, professional experience in back-end software development
• Experience with Node.JS
• Experience building and designing highly scalable services, and RESTful APIs that power multiple consumers
• Experience with SOA architecture working on distributed/high trafficked systems

• Experience writing unit tests, integration tests and other test automation.
• Experience working in an Agile + paired-programming environment with continuous integration and/or delivery
• Solid software development fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, problem solving, OO Design, and systems architecture)
• Ability to craft simple and elegant solutions to complex problems
• Strong sense of ownership for what they build
• Able to clearly communicate to technical and non-technical audiences
  

Extra Points For

• Experience with other server-side languages (Ruby, Go, Java, Scala, Perl)
