Software Engineer
The team
As a software engineer on the Content Technology team, you’ll be at the center of what makes Vistaprint unique: our graphic design content. Vistaprint is different from other e-commerce companies because our products are fully customizable. Engineers on Content Technology design, architect, and develop platforms that enable our graphic designers to create beautiful, flexible designs, and manage the complexity of having millions of designs live on the site. These designs are the starting point for our customers to create a wide range of products to market their businesses.
We’re currently a few months into a multi-year re-architecture, and we’ve already successfully tested our technology with customers. We’re building our systems from the ground up to create a modern, flexible platform that gives our business partners new levels of control. This translates into greenfield development, retiring legacy systems, and designing their replacements, and that’s where we need your help!
The role
Since our engineering teams own their systems end-to-end, there really isn’t a “typical day” here. But here are some things you might find yourself doing:
Joining an architecture session to design a new microservice
Profiling a server call in search of optimizations and speed improvements
Collaborating on a co-worker’s code review
Working with various technologies such as .NET Core, MongoDB, and Docker
Leading project refinement and driving execution
Writing some high-quality, maintainable, robust code
Delivering value to production every day using AWS
What we’re looking for
Technical problem solvers with strong coding and design skills
A focus on back-end development and experience with OOP
Experience working with SOA/distributed systems
RDBMS experience (a plus if it’s with MS SQL Server or PostgreSQL)
Strong communication skills, both oral and written
Passion and enthusiasm for software engineering
Strong collaboration with teammates and stakeholders
Experience with microservices, AWS, and agile development a plus
Remember, we’re not looking for one specific type of candidate. We believe that a diverse team will yield the best results. Regardless of your background, we’re looking for smart people that want to solve challenging problems in a highly collaborative environment. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
