- Work independently & collaboratively in a fully-distributed, async environment.
- Integrate (existing) software components into a fully functional software system.
- Troubleshoot, debug, and upgrade existing systems.
- Build flowcharts, layouts, and supporting documentation (specifications) to determine feasibility.
- Comfortable with GitHub, ticketing, issues, and Kanban workflows.
- Engage with our community / users to gather and evaluate feedback.
Qualifications / Skills:
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field is nice but not required.
- Minimum of 3-5 years of professional software development experience.
- Knows how to communicate fluently in a fully distributed, async culture.
- Knows how to engage directly (and enjoys it!) with users / community members to gather and qualify feedback into features.
- Experience with Java, Python, C++ and/or other OO programming languages would be great.
- Experience with AWS, Google Cloud, and other cloud providers, container-ized deployments, Kubernetes, Docker, would be cool.
- Knowledge of relational databases, SQL, and ORM technologies (JPA2, Hibernate) would be a plus (currently using MongoDB).
- Experience developing microservices & restful APIs would be a plus (currently monolithic-ish / REST-ish for our
mvp
).
