Staff Software Engineer (backend)

In this role, you'll:

• Lead the technical direction for some of Tines’ most critical systems.
• Make valuable changes in our codebase in your first week, and see them live in production minutes after merging them.
• Shape how jobs and code are executed at the very heart of our application, to help us power the world’s most important workflows.
• Write and review high-quality, well-tested code to ensure that we’re creating a stable product for our customers, and a stress-free codebase for ourselves.
• Identify areas for improvement, both in our codebase and in how we work, and share the responsibility of making our team better.
• Own the problems you’re solving - and the software you write to solve them - all the way to production and beyond, responding to customer feedback to improve those solutions.
• Use your knowledge to mentor other engineers in our team, providing support and guidance to help them grow their abilities.

Projects you might work on:

• Build robust, high-availability systems that can support massive data throughput requirements.
• Improve system throughput to meet our growing customers’ scale.
• Create internal and customer-facing controls that allow Tines and our customers to configure job prioritization levels, ensuring the most critical workflows are executed in a timely manner.
• Build features that allow customers to execute code in our product.
• Ensure customers’ jobs are executed in a safe and fair manner, particularly on multitenant stacks.
