Work Location - Bangalore (5days work from office) Shift Timings - 11AM - 8PM IST Responsibilities Excellent computer science fundamentals, with a focus on algorithms and data structures. Each engineer needs to be able to contrast which data structures to use when, and which algorithmic approach is best given expected inputs. Excellent coding skills, with a focus on the ability to read and edit existing code. We expect most of our code to be either Java or Python based and expect our engineers to be able to read both and write brilliantly in at least one of them. Much of our software is already written, and needs to be constantly improved and refactored, so writing brilliant code from scratch is less valuable than making existing code better. Familiarity with Git as a VCS. Ability to write clearly, as we expect SDEs to explain their approaches and designs in clear narratives for others to read and critique. Excellent distributed system design skills, with a focus on non-relational database storage patterns (e.g.: no-sql databases or search-based approaches) and distributed-lock-free designs. Familiarity with AWS or GCP services. Experience operating with Petabyte scale data. Ability to tradeoff costs of various cloud-based designs. You will work closely with a team of 4-5 engineers, a product manager, and a designer to deliver a smooth experience to our customers. You will support the wider engineering organization by identifying areas of improvement, proposing RFCs, seeking feedback early and often, iterating over your ideas, and co-creating something better than you could have done by yourself. Qualifications A bachealor's/master's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related educational background. 3-5 years of software engineering experience building distributed systems in web-based technologies at a product company. Extensive experience in e-commerce platform development, customization, and architecture including business processes, including payment gateways, order fulfillment, and inventory management. Strong experience with Java frameworks, relational databases, and the cloud AWS. Have worked closely in teams of ~5 engineers before, solving hard problems collaboratively, and have worked tightly with immediate peers as well as across teams. Ability to take end-to-end accountability and takes pride on the ability to take complex problems and iterate on them until a simple solution is found. Proficiency in web development languages (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and frameworks. Strong experience with algorithms, data structures, and building systems that process terabytes of data.
