You will join our Integrations team, who are responsible for both syncing data between our various systems as well as providing and managing data integrations with our third-party partners. Our development process follows Agile methodology and favours pair-programming, peer code reviews, automated testing and constant collaboration in a supportive team environment.

As a senior engineer, you will be responsible for architecting, building and maintaining our systems across several languages as well as coordinating with the teams responsible for other areas of the product infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background and the ability to drive projects in a highly collaborative, Agile environment.

Our stack spans MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Ruby on Rails, PHP/Symfony backend APIs, Vue.js/TypeScript frontend, Python, and Node.js (AWS Lambdas). Our systems handle thousands of requests per minute across databases with hundreds of millions of records - we design and architect for scalability from the outset.

We are fully equipped to work remotely, support a range of learning styles - books, online courses, certifications, and more - and ask that you visit the office once a month.
