Requirements

  • Is undeniably skilled at coding, architecting software systems, and making the most of tools like GitHub, CircleCI, Jira, and Docker.
  • Consistently delivers and supports impactful, reliable, scalable, extensible features.
  • Leads multi-engineer projects effectively: scoping work and delegating it to other engineers, communicating about the project with leadership, and facilitating productive discussions within the team to resolve blocking issues.
  • Is a collaborative colleague who galvanizes others to improve aspects of their work, be it the codebase, tooling, or team processes.
  • Has an action-oriented mindset of responsibility: leaving the codebase better than it was, working toward solutions even when a problem isn’t with your or your team’s code, actively helping with on-call incidents and contributing to blameless postmortems after.
  • Reacts flexibly to the evolving needs of our organization, company, and customers.
  • Has significant fullstack experience working with the core technologies of our stack: React, Node, and Postgres (or else relatable experience with similar technologies).

Responsibilities

  • Craft straightforward, typed, tested code that’s reliable, extensible, and scalable.
  • Architect, build, launch, and support customer-facing fullstack features and systems.
  • Lead small teams of engineers for larger projects and work individually on smaller ones.
  • Coalesce Alloy’s product vision from PMs and UX designers into concrete technical plans then share and review those plans with other engineers.
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to fellow engineers, fostering a culture of learning and growth within our expanding team and within our cross-engineering guilds such as the observability guild, architecture guild or security guild.
  • Embrace an iterative customer-centric approach, flexibly iterating on features based on feedback from internal and external customers.
  • Use modern software tools and advocate for new ones when appropriate. Our tech stack is primarily TypeScript/JavaScript: Node.js, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redshift and other AWS products, Storybook for our in-house UI component library, and rarely some legacy Python/Django.
  • Be on-call for a week once every few months (after a reasonable ramp-up period).
