About the company:

As for the company itself, it is a global industry player with a 15-year history, 27+ offices worldwide, and an innovation-driven team made up of 100+ different nationalities.

Your Role:

Core platform engineers focus on the company's internal platform, they aim to keep it scalable, reliable, and secure. They identify strategic technical challenges and build solutions impacting the whole company.

The company has grown rapidly over the past years and this is bringing great opportunities for the Core Platform teams. They are focused on providing hundreds of other engineers with tooling to work efficiently and to build scalable products. As such, their focus is to develop, build and run the application at scale, rather than extending a feature set on applications. Additionally, they value the knowledge on how technology works over knowledge on how to use frameworks.

Some examples of the projects that are driven by the Core Platform teams are the optimization of the build system, the transition away from fully local development, the migration to running our platform in a dynamic containerized environment, the design and testing of database partition strategies, and the development of a benchmarking methodology. 

Your qualification:

Who you are:

  • Able to reason about a complex, distributed, high-performance platform
  • Focused on getting projects into production
  • Able to understand the needs of colleagues
  • Experience with Core Java
  • Comfortable with Linux command line interface
  • Enthusiastic about enabling other developers to be efficient and autonomous
  • Experience with or interested in coordinating larger cross-team engineering efforts

The common denominator across all core platform teams is that they work with infrastructure technologies that support the application. If you have experience with and willing to learn, several of the following, we strongly encourage you to apply for this position:

  • JVM internals (garbage collection, class loading, resource profiling)
  • Managing a large mono-repository
  • Database internals and advanced query optimizations (specifically PostgreSQL)
  • Container fundamentals and inner workings
  • Hashicorp stack
  • Complex build systems
