The role involves developing scalable cloud-based web applications, collaborating with teams to deliver complex projects, and implementing business logic using various backend technologies.
Title: Senior Back-end Software Engineer
Location: Remote (Greater Boston or eastern time zone preferred)
Summary:
Our back-end software development is highly database-centric. We are looking for an experienced (6 to 12 years) backend programmer (Java, Postgres, Firebase RTDB, Snowflake are our core technologies) to help implement all the product functions and business logic that Firebase’s document database just isn’t good at such as complex queries and aggregation. The backend communicates with the frontend and Firebase through an asynchronous message bus and is highly multi-threaded. Linux is a key requirement and experience cluster orchestration and Docker containers is a significant plus. This is a small team that works closely with the Chief Software Architect. We use Agile tools and techniques and deliver code frequently.
