- Demonstrate end-to-end ownership of the software you build, applying software engineering excellence to deliver well-tested and maintainable software, with observability and 24×7 production monitoring of critical systems.
- Join an agile, highly collaborative team in which you will work closely with Product Managers, your peers, and other engineering teams on requirements gathering, implementation details, and planning. May be required to participate in an on-call rotation.
- Join your team members to create technical roadmaps that align and guide efforts across multi-functional teams.
You’re an ideal candidate if you have:
- 5+ years of experience developing enterprise-class backend applications and services, with a proven track record of building systems that scale.
- Expert experience with Go, strong with a scripting language like Ruby, and also confident in learning and adapting to whatever new technologies are required.
- Practical experience using AWS (or equivalent) cloud services and developed infrastructure-as-code using Terraform.
- A solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, container technologies, and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Agile methodologies, Observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Watch, ELK), and other standard processes for modern application development.
Bonus Points For:
- Knowledge of camera and video technologies such as RTSP, HLS, WebRTC, and Web Sockets.
- Experience using a variety of AWS solutions, including Lambda functions, SQS, DynamoDB, or their equivalents on other cloud service providers.
- Familiarity with video analytics and performance monitoring tools.
- Experience with any of C/C++, Ruby on Rails, or Scala.
