Engineer - Platform

About the Role

The FSH approach to building highly configurable software is modeled on Postgres. We describe what a product does as opposed to how it works. To do this at scale and with speed we heavily rely on a set of internal code generation tools that translate declarative configuration files into bespoke full stack applications. Our platform engineering team maintains these tools, often treating other teams as the customer.

What You'll Do

• Create and maintain platforms that enable building products quickly, robustly, and elegantly
• Serve as a mentor to client engineers and technical operators
• Translate customer desires to simplifying software abstractions
• Define engineering culture

What You'll Need

• Experience shipping software to users
• Experience building and maintaining platforms
• [preferred] Experience working at a venture backed company
• [preferred] Demonstrated enthusiasm for civic engagement

You're the right person for the job if

• You believe programming is a creative pursuit
• You believe abstractions can simplify complexity
• You are obsessed with focused learning
• You love pattern seeking
• Modern inventory management is best handled through Venetian double entry accounting
• Buddhist meditation and dialectical behavior therapy are closely related
• The distribution of crater sizes on the moon follow a power law
• Rivers and their tributaries, blood vessels, lunch bronchi, broccoli, and lightning bolts all demonstrate related patterns

Employees are expected to live in New York City or Philadelphia and work out of our office in either location.
