You must have a deep understanding of scalable, distributed systems, service-oriented architectures. We write full-stack, solutions, with dynamic React-based web development, and application design, as well as flexibility and a passion for learning new skills. You will be expected to work in a heterogeneous environment of different languages and technologies and bring flexibility, speed, and quality to our team. The successful candidate will thrive in a culture of experimentation and innovation, but also have a proven track record of delivering results to solve challenging problems

* You excel at working in agile environment and collaborating with some of the smartest people in the industry.
* You have a BS in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience), and 3-5 years of industry experience.

Here are some reasons you should come work with us:

* You will be building and owning highly distributed and scalable products and services.
* You will get the opportunity to work closely with a great team of software developers.
* You will understand what it takes to grow and operate a global business at our scale.
* You will understand our data-driven culture and how we make decisions that delight our customers.
