Lead/Staff Engineer, Backend

You should apply if you have —

1. 5 - 10 years of technical experience (you can count internships & freelance work towards this).
2. Proficiency in Go; experience in Node.js will be nice to have.
3. Experience working with SQL/NoSQL databases, message queues and distributed caches.
4. Experience working with at least 1 major cloud provider like AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.

You'll be helping us with some of these challenges —

1. How do we build cleanly-separated APIs for our myriad of internal services (including bookings, payments, location tracking, analytics, etc.)?
2. How do we use all of the rich data we have to help improve operations efficiency?
3. How do we design the platform for integrating with various third-party API providers as plugins?
4. How do we build a strong testing-first delivery cycle so we can ship code with greater confidence?

We're problem-solvers at heart, and we value data-driven decision making. We believe in high-quality execution, crafting great user experiences, honest & transparent communication and enabling our people to thrive and be the best version of themselves.

The early engineering + product team includes folks from Lynk and Kilobyte, and we're hoping to build one of the best teams in the city; kind & compassionate, diverse and smart — one you can be proud for being a part of.

We're all generalists and prefer picking the right tool for the job. That said, we do use a lot of new & exciting technology.
