What the job involves
- We are looking to bring on a full-stack Staff Software Engineer for our Super+ vertical. This vertical consists of 5 full-stack engineering teams, along with Data, Design, and QA to support shipping world-class products
- As a Staff Software Engineer you will work cross-team, be a go-to technical expert, and help architect and tackle our most complex technical challenges
- Play a central role in architecting our services, frontends, databases, and mobile app
- Tackle technical challenges relating to how we unify our products into our Super.com app and ensure a high quality user experience
- Be a go-to full-stack technical expert acting at the intersection of multiple teams helping to mentor other less experienced team members
- Propel the business forward by driving high-impact projects, leveraging other engineers and teams as appropriate in some cases serving as the cross functional context holder ensuring efficient delivery when cross functional work is necessary
- Work across multiple codebases, as you contribute to them, improve them, and share findings and suggestions with other engineers at guild meetings (technical guilds discuss and set engineering standards)
- Help shape the technical roadmap for the engineering organization by contributing to OKR brainstorming sessions
- Create and present cross-team and cross-eng technical presentations focused on improving developer experience, engineering productivity, and processes
- Be largely self-directed in terms of project selection and execution
- Report into the Engineering Director for the vertical
Our take
eCommerce scaleup Super (formerly known as Snapcommerce) is looking to revolutionize the eCommerce experience. Instead of shopping around disparate sources for the best consumer product deals, Super wants users to be able to send a message to their account and have the best personalized deals returned, ready to purchase.
The company has tried-and-tested this approach with its flagship and original platform Snaptravel, which delivers travel deals via a text-like interface across Messenger, WhatsApp, and SMS. It proved a hit, crossing the $1B sales mark with nearly half of sales coming from repeat customers. This is substantial, as any significant overhaul of how people shop requires both efficacy and popularity to catch on - Snaptravel has both, which bodes well for the broader Super brand.
The recent boom in eCommerce has spilt over into a marked increase in mobile commerce, too. With Gen Z more likely to shop using mobile, and this demographic maturing into a substantial consumer demographic, Super, with some serious funding to its name, is poised to lead a bold and lucrative new wave in online shopping.
