Software Engineer

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and build high-volume backend services and integrations that connect legacy business systems to modern software, with some front-end work as well. You will own features end to end, ship code frequently and adjust based on direct customer feedback.

What you'll do

• Design scalable backend services that present many differing external systems through one consistent interface.
• Build secure, reliable connections to older on-premises systems, including real-time communication where none exists natively.
• Handle very large request volumes, with efficient data storage and retrieval and caching to keep latency low.
• Create automated testing frameworks that catch edge cases and regressions across a large number of endpoints.
• Research the quirks of each new system integration in depth before building on it.
• Build front-end applications that use the company's own APIs, and feed what you learn back into API design.
• Ship code daily and iterate quickly using feedback from paying customers.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• A bachelor's degree in computer science; bootcamp-only backgrounds are not a fit.
• Evidence of standout achievement, such as a strong academic record, success at a respected startup or other notable accomplishments.
• Recent experience at a small technology startup, or a clear interest in joining one.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure such as AWS.
• A genuine interest in core backend and platform engineering rather than a primary focus on working with AI.
• A proactive, accountable and humble working style, with enthusiasm for raising engineering standards in a quick-moving team.
• Willingness to work in person five days a week.

Bonus points

• A computer science degree from a top-ranked undergraduate program in the US or Canada.
