Software Development Engineer II - Conversations

Build and ship features in Node.js / Go services that sit on real production paths — your code handles live traffic, not toy problems

Own well-scoped services and components end to end: code, tests, rollout, and monitoring

Work with SQL and NoSQL data stores — writing queries, adding indexes, and learning why the schema looks the way it does

Get hands-on with queues, caches, and rate limiters — the building blocks of every system here

Ship Vue 3 UIs that consume your own APIs — clean components, sane state management, and realtime updates that don't flicker or drift

Write design docs for your features and defend them in review — clear thinking, honest trade-offs

Join the on-call rotation with backup from senior engineers — incidents are where the deepest learning happens

Ask questions relentlessly, absorb feedback from code reviews, and level up fast

You're deeply curious — you don't stop at "it works," you need to know why it works

You read post-mortems and system-design write-ups for fun, not because someone assigned them

You've built things beyond your job description — side projects, internal tools, that one system you rewrote because the old one bothered you

You take feedback like a gift: code review comments make your next PR better, every time

When something breaks, your first instinct is curiosity, not panic

You own a service or component that the team trusts you on completely

You're a dependable on-call engineer — you've debugged real incidents and shipped the fixes

Your design docs have gone from "reviewed heavily" to "approved with nits"

Senior engineers pull you into harder problems — because you've earned it

You're visibly on the path to SDE-3, and everyone around you knows it

Familiarity with our stack: GCP, MongoDB, Firestore, ClickHouse, ElasticSearch

You've contributed to a messaging, automation, or event-driven system — at any scale

Side projects or open-source work that shows you build because you can't not build
