• We are looking for an experienced Engineer to help design and implement new features across multiple backend applications. As a senior presence and a core individual contributor on a small team, you will play a key role in both enhancing a Ruby on Rails backend at the heart of the business and building out a new, more scalable service-driven architecture.

    Language requirement: Fluent in Mandarin and English

    In this role you will:

    • Manage projects and problems of significantly larger scopes
    • Formulate an efficient game plan for delivering a stable, well-tested feature on time
    • Make technical recommendations that improve the codebase while minimizing risk
    • Identify and fix (or, ideally, avoid) bugs and performance bottlenecks
    • Coordinate and communicate seamlessly across other technical and product teams
    • Be a helpful and supportive presence on the team, contributing to code reviews and other team processes

    We are looking for:

    • BS degree preferred
    • 5+ years of experience in software engineering with Ruby on Rails (Python, Go, PHP, or Java is ok too)
    • Experience with e-Commerce/Web Applications
    • Familiar and comfortable with the technologies, the tradeoffs, and the design patterns emerging in web services
    • A quick learner, a self-starter, able to work autonomously, and you're willing (and able) to handle the pressures of an increasing level of responsibility

    We encourage you to apply even if you feel unsure about whether you meet every single requirement. We look for people who are passionate about what we do, not just those who check off all the boxes.
