You need to be able to understand and troubleshoot data-intensive systems.

Responsibilities

You will be working in a team tasked with the migration of a complex backend code from Python to Golang. There are about two years of work estimated for this project, and it's unlikely you will be asked to develop new things during this time. Please apply only if you're interested in large-scale migration.

Required Skills

System design. This requires a good understanding of how the systems work, with a particular focus on latency and scalability.
Development. Our systems are mainly in Python and Go. We are also migrating a few of our endpoints from Python to Go.
Skills in testing, SOLID, and design patterns are a must.
Systems architecture. We make extensive use of Kubernetes, AWS, and Postgres, with internal tools for metrics/alerting and Grafana for dashboarding.
We also use Redis in a few of our services.
Work cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute product and business strategies and build novel products and features that our users will love.
Communicate effectively, within the team and across disciplines.
Work closely with product managers and designers to craft compelling user experiences.
Participate in product reviews and team meetings, providing technical insight.
Help scope, estimate, and prioritize between conflicting needs
