• Lead incident response and on-call rotations for Find systems, independently resolving operational issues, reducing partner concerns and improving system reliability over time

• Proactively identify improvement opportunities, author design docs, define Jira breakdowns and independently drive moderate to large problem statements from idea to production

• Adopt and champion modern development practices including AI-assisted development tools, DevOps and CI/CD automation to continuously improve personal and team delivery velocity without compromising quality

• Share technical work and innovations with the broader engineering organisation through brown bag sessions, demos or written showcases, contributing to a culture of visibility and knowledge sharing

Your experience should include...

• A degree in computer science, information systems or a related discipline, or equivalent demonstrated industry experience

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of building and scaling large-scale distributed systems

• Proficiency in one or more of Go Lang, Python or Java, with a strong preference for GoLang

• Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, software design, microservices architecture and cloud computing

• Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation

• Demonstrated ability to independently own a service or functional area end to end, including design docs, ADRs, runbooks and stakeholder collaboration

• Passion for building elegant, pragmatic solutions to real-world problems at scale

• A genuine desire to learn, grow and invest in your own craft over time

You might also have...

• Experience with or curiosity about search technologies and search infrastructure

• Hands-on experience with AWS

• Familiarity with big data and machine learning technologies

• Experience working in fully remote, globally distributed engineering teams
