Role

Who you are

A great problem solver and is passionate about the craft of building software
Has a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and distributed systems
Has at least 3 years of experience in software engineering
Experience with the above-mentioned stack would be helpful but is not necessary
Is aspirational, self-driven, and proactive
Has excellent communication skills

What the job involves

Drivetrain is looking for a Backend Engineer to join our team
The role involves working on challenging problems in backend application development, algorithms, system design, and serving in production
The underlying technical problems are challenging - how do you design abstractions that minimise custom code, as every business is a little different; how do you deal with data scattered across multiple systems and make sense of a large number of moving parts
You get to work on a cutting edge stack consisting of Java, Spring, Hibernate, Redis, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and AWS
Determine operational feasibility by evaluating analysis, problem definition, requirements, solution development and proposed solutions
Take accountability for the quality, total cost of ownership, maintainability and security of the component developed. Review code developed by other developers and provide feedback to ensure best practices (e.g., style guidelines, checking code in, accuracy, testability, and efficiency)
Contribute to existing documentation or educational content and adapt content based on product/program updates and user feedback
Seek out opportunities for innovation that can be shared between multiple teams that have a willingness to experiment as well as the courage to boldly confront problems of a large complexity and scope
As an early team member, you’ll help shape our company culture, engineering practices, and the product

Our take

For modern companies, it is vital to make data-based decisions when planning strategy. But legacy systems are not designed to make sense of the vast pools of data that today's organizations generate. Drivetrain supplies a strategic finance platform to help teams make effective, data-backed decisions, empowering them to act as a strategic partner to leadership as they bring predictability to growth.

With planning, monitoring and foresight tools, Drivetrain is a one-stop-shop for building clear and effective business plans. Users are able to visualise current strategy, track how certain factors are affecting things and - most importantly - predict what decisions will have the greatest effect on future outcomes.

All this means that users can identify problems quickly and course-correct before minor issues have major effects. The company already serves some interesting clients, such as digital adoption platform Whatfix and market-leading sales readiness platform Mindtickle.
