The App Platform team is responsible for all core infrastructure used across the DemoCORP services. Our goal is to allow the feature teams to do what they do best, which is build features. We will provide the components, frameworks, libraries and services for logging, RPCs, message queues, metrics gathering, caching and many more.

We spend our time thinking about scalability, reliability, security and performance. We solve problems that we know about now as well as problems we foresee months and years down the road.

What You’ll Work On:

As a member of our Platform team you get to play a few different roles:

ARCHITECT: We are the ones that know how our large system should fit together.

DEVELOPER: We write lots of code. Some is purely for prototyping and what passes the prototyping phase is made ready for production and used by nearly all server teams.

CONSULTANT: We work closely with all the server teams to understand their needs and lend assistance with the infrastructure we have built.

LEADER: We need to be vocal about our experiences to internal teams as well as the outside world through blog posts, presentations and open source contributions.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience as a software engineer
  • Strong Java knowledge
  • Experience working with high traffic, scalable web applications
  • Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and framework internals
  • Ability to speak and write clearly and concisely
  • Ability to think creatively about solutions with a focus on the long term stability of our system.

Nice-to-Have:

  • Experience with SOA
  • Experience with at least one relational database (e.g. MySQL) and one NoSQL database (e.g. Cassandra)
  • Familiarity with asynchronous messaging systems, such as Kafka and ActiveMQ
  • DevOps experience

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
