• Take a security-first approach to implementing features and changes.
• Collaborate with and mentor less experienced engineers on best practices and architectures.
• Have a strong eye on the bigger picture because everything you do will have an impact on 100,000 users globally.

What We’re Looking For Nice to Have

• 5+ years developing scalable, production-ready backend systems.
• Experience with search and retrieval systems, vector search, semantic search
• Experience with backend systems for AI/ML-powered products is a plus.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js. Experience with JVM languages is a plus.

• Experience working in a cloud environment. Experience working in AWS and familiarity with services such as Lambda, DynamoDB, Bedrock, Opensearch, and API Gateway is a plus.
• Understanding the importance of strong software testing at every stage and an advocate for test-driven development.
• Comfortable analyzing, estimating, and prioritizing complex projects.
• Ability to model data and queries around feature requirements with an emphasis on performance and scalability. Experience working in a tenant database environment is a plus
• Continuous integration and delivery mindset.
• Experience designing and implementing APIs for, and collaborating with, internal and/or public data consumers.
