About the Role
 
In order to execute our vision, we need to grow our team of best-in-class engineers.

  • Design, implement or improve features in a variety of backend systems including our REST APIs, microservices, data ingestion and processing systems, and distributed task/job processing systems
  • Write and maintain scalable, performant and secure code that can be shared across platforms
  • Meaningfully contribute to the product and core backend systems by suggesting and executing improvements
  • Improve engineering standards, tooling, processes and security
  • Practice test-driven development
  • Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
  • Participate in on-call rotations, as needed, to ensure prompt and effective resolution of critical technical issues
  • Utilize OWASP top 10 techniques to secure code from vulnerabilities
  • Maintain awareness of industry best practices for data maintenance handling as it relates to your role
  • Adhere to policies, guidelines and procedures pertaining to the protection of information assets
  • Report actual or suspected security and/or policy violations/breaches to an appropriate authority
  • You have a Bachelor's Degree in computer science or a related field
  • You have a few years of experience building web applications
  • You have experience or a strong interest in writing applications in Node.js
  • You have experience implementing highly-available distributed systems/microservices
  • You have experience building scalable backend APIs
  • You have experience working with relational databases, Postgres preferred
  • Understanding monitoring and alerting platforms is a plus
  • You strongly believe in high code quality, automated testing, and other engineering best practices
  • You have attention to detail and a passion for correctness
  • You are comfortable learning new technologies and systems
  • You have strong interpersonal and communication skills with a bias towards action
  • Who We Are
     
    We are a group of ambitious individuals who are passionate about creating a revolutionary AI company. At Deploy, you will have a steep learning curve and an opportunity to contribute to one of the fastest growing AI start-ups in San Francisco. The work you do here will have a noticeable and direct impact on the development of the company.
