Experience Inc. Jobs

Description

This is a full-stack position, leaning towards backend work. As part of this role you will be working on re-architecting our platform into decoupled microservices, solving exciting problems related to large-scale distributed systems and build net new features for Serverless and ML/AI usecases. We also work on improving dev, testing and deployment frameworks for our fast growing engineering team.

On any given day, we use Python, Java, JavaScript, Node.js, React, SQL as well as a few other public AWS services and a host of Amazon-internal tools. We don’t expect you to be an expert in, or necessarily even be familiar with, all of the technologies listed above, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them!

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every 3 months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night and so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant and have a follow-the-sun model for our on-call responsibilities. When we do get paged, we work together to first mitigate the issue and then resolve the root cause so we are not paged again.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. We are team of mostly mid-level engineers who enjoy helping new and and junior engineers grow through one-on-one mentoring and thorough code review. The team is colocated in Dublin, Ireland and our core office hours are from 10am to 4pm, although there are some who come in early and others who stay late to overlap with our teams in Seattle and Vancouver.

If you are excited about building new user experiences and modernise existing software stack to delight our customers, then this role is for you. We are looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated and reliable; someone who will help us build on the positive team culture that we have been cultivating.
