Participate in all aspects of the SDLC, including design, development, code review, testing, bug fixing, and code/API documentation.
Build new features using our development technologies that will delight and inspire marketers, IT professionals, and other knowledge workers worldwide.
Build engineering designs that address sophisticated problems and perform at a mass scale when thousands upon thousands of people are using it at the same time.
Debate the efficient design and ideal user experience for a variety of unrealized features identified by our Product friends or propose some ideas of your own!
Lead technical discussions about what emerging tools, technologies, and processes are coming that may impact how we improve our products and our SaaS platform in the future.
Provide your well-considered opinions on the creation and modification of our technology roadmaps.

Demonstrate sound knowledge of Database basics such as joins, constraints, stored procedures, triggers, and schema design.

Demonstrate a high level of ownership for the entire SDLC; including design, build, validation, deployment, and support of production systems.
Experience optimizing software to run fast, be reliable and fail safely – O(n) analysis should not be new to you.
