Senior Backend Engineer, Growth & Acquisition

T11D's engineers develop the next-generation technologies for the outdoor industry that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, multi dimensional GPS tracking, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to T11D’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

As a backend engineer on this team, you will build the business logic and protocols that allow our UI partners to build lightweight and flexible flows for the web, and mobile devices. We like to experiment constantly, which means we are continually A/B testing our user acquisition and retention through experiments in the sign-up and on-boarding funnels. You will develop Java-based microservices and work with many services and underlying technologies core to our product.
