Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an experienced software engineer who loves building products
- You have a Bachelors in Computer Science (preferred) or other relevant credentials that demonstrate deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, and programming patterns
- You’re an seasoned engineer who has 5+ years of experience building backend architecture using Python and Django
- You have advanced expertise with AWS ElasticBeanstalk, Django, PostgreSQL, Celery, and Redis
- You have Javascript experience and a deep command of the contemporary Python language — more knowledgeable than most
- A self-motivated learner who loves improving your skills and knowledge
- A collaborative engineer who prioritizes the total output of the whole team over personal achievement
- You’re willing to recommend improvements to the company’s existing practices but open to accept and embrace the architectural decisions and technologies already used
- You’re deeply interested in product quality, performance, and reliability (not just building new things)
- Detail-oriented. To prove it, please include a sentence in your cover letter referencing this line and include this word: meticulous
What the job involves
- As part of the founding team, you will work alongside the CEO and collaborate daily with the product and design teams
- You will be asked to think and act like a founder, and you will be treated as an owner
- Within the first month, you’ll start shipping production-quality code
- By month three, you will be adding new logging and infrastructure reporting systems
- By month six, you’ll be adding new features. And by month nine, you’ll be spearheading architectural decisions on new integrations
- Given the complexity of building a spreadsheet that works flawlessly with live-syncing external data, we have to keep the foundation rock solid. You will be a foundational part of our long-term strategizing and expected to plan our architecture three chess moves ahead of where we are today
- Design and build back-end architecture for the core platform (Python, Django)
- Gradually assume some engineering leadership responsibilities, including priority-setting, leading our process, and making major architecture and technology decisions
- Collaborate with our Principal engineer to design robust, scalable APIs, systems, and architecture
- Identify and resolve QA issues across the product
- Own and advocate for the health and quality of the systems the team builds
- Document your work and our architecture for improved collaboration
Our take
Spreadsheets are a widely used tool in the workplace for a number of important tasks, but more recently the innovation surrounding them has slowed down. Many spreadsheet applications today are complicated to integrate, causing challenges when working in conjunction with other software applications or systems.
Taking on this challenge is Visor, a New York-based company connecting spreadsheets to internal applications. Unlike other productivity and collaboration tools, Visor includes data directly from other applications and turns it into one flexible, integrative product.
The company has steadily built a name for itself and is now trusted by a number of the world's leading organizations including Doordash, Amazon and Samsung. The company is well-positioned to further accelerate its product and take on the market with its innovative utilization of spreadsheets.
