Senior Backend Developer

About

We are seeking several developers with varying levels of experience to help build a new team within our organization; these are newly created positions that will be phased in by our existing teams.

The Senior Backend Developer is a key contributor within her-his team’s scope and also regularly contributes to cross-functional projects by designing, developing, and conducting reviews. She-he drives technical debt management through their personal contributions as well as by exercising leadership within the technical team.

Responsibilities

As our new Senior Backend Developer, your responsibilities will include:

Code

• Be able to develop any part of the TypeScript code, even outside your scope

Review and Testing

• Review Pull Requests outside your team’s scope (JS stack)

Support

• Be able to handle any bug across the entire JS stack, even outside your scope. Handling involves triaging to either resolve or co-resolve the issue.

Collaboration with other teams

• Be able to anticipate and account for the impact of features and technical choices based on the constraints of other teams (Team Reveal, Customer Team, Support, Product, etc.)

Technical Leadership

• Regularly introduce substantial and impactful improvements to the codebase (development best practices, refactoring) and systematically ensure these improvements are adopted by the rest of the technical team
• Be identified as the (co-)point of contact for a set of features or technical components; drive and be responsible for their maintenance and continuous improvement
• Systematically consider and anticipate non-functional constraints: performance, maintainability, security, etc.

Mentoring

• Mentoring junior developers (IC1, IC2, IC3) on one’s own team and occasionally outside of one’s team
