Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own backend-heavy engineering work for a software platform while also shipping the user-facing pieces that make it usable. Drive projects from early design through release and ongoing refinement, with real influence over technical and product direction, in close partnership with a small engineering group and external users.
What you'll do
- Develop backend services that support a data-driven software platform.
- Refine data models and storage structures for analytical and testing information.
- Manage third-party integrations over their full lifecycle, including authentication, webhooks, data synchronization, throttling limits, retries, monitoring and production support.
- Carry features from planning and build to release, observation and iteration.
- Partner with customers as needed to understand their environments, troubleshoot problems and shape one-off requests into reusable product capabilities.
What we're looking for
- Experience working at both a large organization and a very small early-stage company, with genuine ownership of your work.
- Professional experience building applications with TypeScript.
- Comfort working on both client-side and server-side code, with Python a plus.
- A history of delivering production software for business customers.
- A degree in computer science or a closely related discipline.
- Current US work authorization (citizen, green card, or OPT with multiple years remaining).
