Senior Software Engineer, Platform Engineering
Cambridge, MA

Job Description

Meet the #1 visited online car shopping website in the US. We're building the world's most trusted and transparent automotive marketplace where it's easy to find great deals from top-rated dealers.

We are a technology company with a passion for data and its power to simplify every aspect of the car shopping experience. Using proprietary technology, search algorithms and innovative data analytics, we provide unbiased validation on pricing, dealer reputation and vehicle history.

The Platform/Infrastructure team is hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Platform. The Platform plays a key role for us to operate at scale. We are modernizing our technology platform and are looking to define key architectural capabilities, guide development teams on their successful implementation, and ensure the stability, security and scalability of our systems.

What You'll Do

Building the most trusted and transparent automotive marketplace requires a performant, reliable, and resilient platform for our services.

Our Platform Reliability Engineering team applies industry best practices and principles to ensure service reliability and resiliency. Note, this is not an operations role, we expect you to treat operations as a software engineering problem and work to automate and re-architect away from toil. This allows time for you to work on the things that matter, such as:

* Ensuring that our platform enables product teams to deliver high quality software with ease
* Owning core platform services that are the foundations of our software ecosystem
* Evolving our logging, monitoring and alerting systems to increase observability and transparency
* Increasing robustness by automation of workflows, process improvements, and integrating modern toolsets
* Participating in solving operational issues, helping us grow our Incident Response discipline

Technologies We Use

Honeycomb, Prometheus, Grafana, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Sentry, Bazel, Concourse, Artifactory

Who You Are

An individual with general curiosity, a belief in growth, and a demonstrable background in software engineering. You build infrastructure as code to create robust solutions based on loosely coupled systems, strongly leveraging modern toolsets and automation. You are at ease working in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

Culture:

At the core of our company culture is a spirit of innovation, curiosity and collaboration. True to our start-up roots, we're nimble, flexible and hardworking. We have a great respect for testing and learning and a healthy aversion to scheduling meetings to discuss meetings. Lunch is catered daily. Gym membership is free. Foosball and ping pong are played often. Now a publicly-traded company, we're as committed as ever to cultivating the culture that got us here.

In addition to the US, we operate sites in Canada, the UK and Germany with other markets on the horizon.
