- Experience working at a similar level in a mature Engineering team, and looking to take your career to the next level. We’re looking for people who have incredible potential
- Technical expertise – We are seeking a candidate with strong front-end development experience, specifically in React and TypeScript. Proficiency in these technologies is crucial, as they are integral to our technology stack. Experience with backend languages such as Java or Kotlin, as well as familiarity with integrating relational databases, Docker, and Kubernetes, is also advantageous
- We are looking for someone with FE experience in at least one frontend framework, ideally React. Past programming experience with backend languages like Java/Kotlin & integrating with relational databases, Docker, and Kubernetes are a plus
- Proven track record – You’ve made a demonstrable impact in your previous roles, standing out from your peers. Highly driven and proactive – you relentlessly and independently push through hurdles and drive towards excellent outcomes
- Meticulous – You hold high standards and have an obsessive attention to detail
What the job involves
- We are looking for highly talented and driven Full stack software engineers who take pride in their work, to expand our Engineering team in Brazil.
- Successful candidates will join a cross functional team including product managers and designers working closely with the rest of our business to deliver working code that solves real problems for both internal and external customers. You will take ownership of the problems that your team solves, ensuring a high level of quality in everything that we release, working as part of a top performing international development team.
- If you have a strong passion for solving problems with code, and want to work with exceptional colleagues in a high achievement environment, this role is a good fit for you
- Design solutions: Define the best technical solutions to business problems, contributing to an architectural vision that will scale up to be the world’s leading research platform
- Ship working code: We primarily work with React on the front end and Kotlin microservices with Postgres on the backend, with some older services written in Ruby on Rails. We’ve always got an eye open to assess new technologies that might improve our stack
- Deploy and iterate: We release frequently to our customers, using CIrcleCI and Spinnaker for CI/CD, and quickly gather feedback in order to inform our next iteration
- Build your competency: You will learn quickly by building market-leading technology with experienced colleagues in a high performance environment. Engineers can also use our L&D budget to fast-track development of specific technical competencies
- Maintenance and troubleshooting: Carefully monitor our services, catching errors before users notice them, diagnosing the root cause and deploying fixes
