Overview:

We’re looking for a savvy developer to join our passionate engineering team as a Senior Software Engineer II to help us scale and grow our cloud-based systems and technologies with a keen eye towards software quality and operational excellence. As a tech “unicorn”, this is an amazing opportunity for the right person to play a major role in helping design and build essential core infrastructure of this pre-IPO software company, as we broaden our lead in the sales enablement space!

You will work closely with our product leads, engineering leads, and the other members of the team to continue the extraction of business-critical components/logic out of a monolith into a extensible and thoughtfully orchestrated microservice-based design and data model that sets Seismic up for the next ten years.

Who You Are:

• Seen as a major contributor in the team problem-solving-process – you arent afraid to share your opinions in a low-ego manner or roll up your sleeves and write critical path code, take on the refactoring of a significant piece of code.
• Deep experience across multiple software projects, driving the end-to-end software development lifecycle of an architecturally complex system or product.
• Ability to think tactically as well as strategically, respecting what came before you and always thinking longer-term.
• Highly focused on operational excellence and software quality, with experience in CI/CD and best operational practices.
• Your technical skills are sought after as you develop in a pragmatic and efficient manner.
• You enjoy solving challenging problems, all while having a blast with equally passionate and talented team members.
  
  

Who you are:

• Minimum of 8 years of Software Development experience within a SaaS business.
• Must have a strong familiarity within Ruby and Ruby on Rails or similar languages and frameworks.
• Understanding of distributed systems (design, trade offs, etc).
• Knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS and modern SPA frameworks (React Vue.js, etc.)
• Experience designing, implementing, and optimizing both SQL and NoSQL databases to support scalable, high-performance applications.
• Familiarity and comfortability developing and deploying in cloud-based environments (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, etc.)
  
  

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop, improve, and maintain, our microservices and ensure seamless integration to the rest of the Seismic platform.
• Decompose a large monolithic application while building core learning functionality, including new AI driven features.
• Collaborate with globally-dispersed product managers, designers, and software engineers to rapidly build, test, and deploy code to create innovative solutions and add values to our customers experience with Seismic.
• Handle high-priority, customer-facing defects, quickly diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues in production systems to ensure reliability and maintain user trust.
• Explore new technologies and industry trends and bring your findings to life in our products.
• Participate in and contribute towards code reviews, bug/issue triage, and documentation.
• Contribute to troubleshooting and continuous quality improvements.
