Job Description

Principal Software Engineer

We need super smart engineers to help us build one of the best engineered e-commerce platform in the world (big talk we know, but that is our goal!). Our engineers combine creativity, curiosity, and drive to continuously perfect and revolutionize from the inside out. We are looking to bring more intellectually curious engineers who are passionate about technology in general (We are a technology first company and pride ourselves on our culture of learning and knowledge sharing and we want all our engineers to be as passionate as we are!)

The Environment

Our platform is largely an event driven platform implemented via a microservice architecture. The platform runs in the cloud and uses a large number of technologies and middle ware. The bulk of backend code is written in the functional style (F#) and our system of record is an event sourced system (essentially a log of all actions on the platform). We use a mix of Kafka, Redis, Elastic Search, Azure SQL, Event Store and Azure Storage for our data stores. About 50% of the platform runs on Linux and the rest Windows (although we move into more containerization, we will see a shift towards Linux).
