Senior Backend Engineer

Description:

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will play a big part in the development of the core API layer and business logic in our platform. You will challenge the complexity in the employee benefit domain and constantly deliver value (benefit!) to our users by building reliable and scalable software. You will also be expected to show some leadership skills to positively impact team productivity as a senior member of the engineering team.

We’re looking for self-starters who are seeking a fast-paced environment where they can make a difference. Our team is small, which means high autonomy, ownership, and responsibility. We love what we do, have fun and, while we ship on time, take life-work balance seriously.

Things you will be working on…

• Design, implement and deliver software features with full ownership, using your technical expertise
• Implement payment card APIs and payment transaction handlers
• Integrate with HRIS (Human Resources Information System) and our benefit supplier partners
• Take ownership of our employee benefits management platform and ensure their reliability
• Lead and deliver your implementations from start to finish, including deployment of new services by expanding our application infrastructure within AWS
• Drive initiative across squads to identify and solve important problems, coordinating with others on cross-cutting technical issues
• Collaborate with product stakeholders and other members of the team to scope and estimate optimal solutions for business problems
• Ensure that security considerations are taken into account, based on current best practices (e.g. OWASP Top 10, AWS Well-Architected Framework) in all software development and infrastructure projects
