[Hiring] Software Engineer @Seesaw

5d ago - Seesaw is hiring a remote Software Engineer. πŸ’Έ Salary: usd 172,500 - 200,000 per year πŸ“Location: USA

Role Description

An IC4 engineer on the Core Systems team is expected to have a deep understanding of backend development and infrastructure at scale. This means expertise with the implementation of HTTP APIs, interaction of API code with data storage layers, infrastructure provisioning, and a thorough grasp on how software goes from being built by dozens of developers, tested, shipped, and run at scale with rock-solid reliability.

Your Responsibilities

  • Modify, diagnose, and change code in our Python HTTP backend, which runs on Tornado and backed by data stored in Dynamo, Elasticsearch, and Redis.
  • Contribute to our infrastructure-as-code repo, which is responsible for provisioning resources in AWS.
  • Reason about distributed systems to drive good technical decision-making.
  • Own technical work from the early stages of inception, to implementation, to production monitoring and alerting.
  • Export best practices around code authoring, tool usage, and observability to other engineering teams at Seesaw.
  • Ensure the security and reliability of Seesaw's platform, proactively identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities and performance bottlenecks.
  • Optimize cloud infrastructure for cost-effectiveness, leveraging best practices in resource management.
  • Help develop a strong technical roadmap and engineering culture through design proposals, industry engagement, and more.
  • Partner with senior team members, product managers, and other key stakeholders to drive strategic initiatives and align infrastructure development with business objectives.

Requirements

  • 5+ years experience with backend development - durable systems-level thinking will always trump specific language experience.
  • Thorough understanding of the mechanics of distributed systems - things like eventual consistency, fan-in fan-out patterns, backpressure, etc.
  • Familiarity with AWS core services (EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, ECS/EKS) or similar cloud experience.
  • Proficient with CI/CD pipelines, preferably Github Actions.
  • Self-starter with an ability to execute independently, knowing when to stop and seek more information and when to forge ahead and boldly own your vision.
  • Proven experience owning and operating the infrastructure that runs software at a high scale (think billions of incoming requests per month).

Benefits

  • Medical/Dental + Orthodontics/Vision Coverage
  • 401(k) Match
  • Flexible Paid Time Off
  • Mindfulness First Fridays
  • Monthly Technology Stipend
  • Home Office Setup Stipend
  • Professional Development Stipend
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Charitable Donation Matching
  • Volunteer Days
