THE
POSITION

As a Senior Software Engineer, your job will be to carry out
development projects both big and small. You may work on adding features to
existing products, refactoring legacy code, fixing bugs in our open source
APIs, or developing entirely new services. We're looking for an experienced
software developer who can make good technical design decisions, write
tests and documentation, and communicate well with non-developers.

Our
salary range for our Senior Engineering roles begins at $135k USD or $165k
CAD (in Canada), with the specific offer depending upon skills and
experience. See more about benefits and compensation below.


OUR
DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES 

Our backend code is largely written in Perl and Go
using PostgreSQL and Linux. We maintain high standards for our development
practices. New backend code is expected to be written in Go, include
automated tests run by TeamCity, and go through internal code review on
GitHub Enterprise. The existing Perl code is being slowly rewritten in Go.

We use free software as much as possible, and we release code back to the
community when we can do so. We're always improving the way we do
development, and we expect you to participate in that process.

Desired skills:
