Software Engineer IV

Job Description

We are looking for a full-stack (Angular + Node.js) developer responsible for developing new features, and maintaining the operation of existing features, for our core SaaS product, an Association Management System (AMS). Our platform is built on AWS, is serverless-first and consists of hundreds of Node.js microservices that run across thousands of AWS Lambda functions. With a loosely coupled architecture and aggressive unit, integration, and end-to-end testing coverage, each microservice is tied to a continuing integration & delivery pipeline that allows us to deploy to production dozens, sometimes hundreds, of times per day.  

You will be supporting our existing microservices, as well as developing brand new microservices and the UI elements that consume them. These microservices will add new features for our customers or integrate our platform with external systems using our partners’ APIs. Your responsibility will extend all the way to the production infrastructure for each microservice you develop. Since each microservice is self-contained and uses CloudFormation for Infrastructure-as-Code (IoC), you will develop not just code, but the resources the code needs to work.

In addition to developing features, you will support external engineers as they develop against our API. You will work with our customers and partners to understand their unique use case / requirements and will guide them with best practices, documentation, and code samples using our Senior Engineers as guides to help you get the job done.

We want - no, we insist - that our engineers stay abreast of technological developments, join meetups, and attend one major technology conference every year. 

• Designing and developing new Node.js microservices to add new features or integrate with our partners’ systems using their APIs / Webhooks
• Designing and developing new Angular components and leveraging our existing component libraries to deliver UI elements to support new features
• Triaging and resolving assigned reported issues in our Angular front-end or Node.js back-end
• Working with our customers and partners to support their engineers as they develop against our REST APIs
• Coordinating with our Senior Engineers to advise customers and partners on best practices
• Develop documentation and code samples to help external engineers get started developing against our API
• Defining AWS resources needed by each microservice: Lambda functions, DynamoDB tables, SQS queues, SNS topics, API Gateway endpoints, Step Functions and more
• Writing reusable, testable, and efficient code

• 3+ years of professional software development experience
• 1+ years of experience developing solutions using Node.js
• 1+ years of experience developing solutions using Angular
• 1+ years experience developing solutions on AWS
• Experience developing with and against APIs using some of: Node.js, Webhooks, Swagger, JSON, YAML, and JWTs

For you - the ideal candidate - the answer is an easy one:

• You hate the idea of grinding away on a legacy product built on decade-old technology

• You want to learn by doing: using the latest tools and techniques without being bound to a huge monolithic application

• You want to work in a fast-paced environment where you can deploy to production in minutes without a two-week long sprint process

• You have some exposure to solutions using any of the AWS services we love: Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, SNS, SQS, Kinesis, S3, CloudFront, CloudFormation, Redshift, EventBridge, Athena, Glue, ...and more
• You like working with customers and and creating customer joy through your work
• You want to own your work all the way from design to production to the customer’s hands
• You have strong interpersonal skills and want to continuously improve through giving and receiving feedback
• A slow, steady smile has spread across your face as you’ve been reading this
