Our backend team members are the architects and the backbone of our product, maintaining infrastructure across multiple secure and scalable interconnected services. We're looking for engineers who are able to provide enterprise-grade solutions to non-standard problems on a large scale.

What’s a non-standard problem? How about building a version-control system from scratch, for multi-dimensional design files. Which works seamlessly with a real-time collaboration system, which can accept and resolve offline changes from multiple clients.

These are the types of tough challenges our backend engineers work on.

Responsibilities

Here's some of what we might expect of a new hire:

Capable of taking the lead role in architecting own code, which fits correctly into the larger system architecture.

Provide useful code review (consistent with our company’s standards) on other engineers’ Merge Requests.

Proactive participation in group planning, meetings, and other discussions.

Capable of communicating a detailed explanation of our product vision (broken into specific features).

Complete a full BDD process (alongside designers, product, and QA) correctly completing the engineering role’s responsibilities in BDD.
