Senior Software Engineer - Backend (Multiple Openings)

What You’ll Be Doing

Build a secure, highly available cloud system that reliably ingests, quotes, and tracks millions of parts as they are manufactured around the world.
Because we handle a significant amount of pre-production intellectual property, it is critical that we protect our customer’s data even as we move it across the globe.
Set the standard for building high-quality software.
This is 100% a hands-on role where you will tackle complex problems, design clean solutions, write clear code (including tests!), and lead by example.
We are looking for folks willing to jump into our most complex modules and solve our trickiest problems.
Promote best practices for working together to frequently deliver changes to production. Software development is a team sport, and we look to all our engineers to help one another achieve team goals, ensure uptime for our services, and give/receive feedback on how we can improve individually and collectively.
Tackling a wide range of technical systems and challenges.
We’re growing fast as a product and business, so the type of work will be dynamic and diverse.
Examples of things you may work on include implementing token-based authorization and access control, developing algorithms to optimize job matching to manufacturing partners, building graceful failover between two third-party shipping services, and optimizing database queries to scale our backend services.

Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts like caching, traceability, security, databases, sharding, and regional deployments
