Software Engineer III

What You'll do

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable and reliable services and APIs (REST and GraphQL) behind our intent and search features.
• Evolve our existing intent and search features and build new ones that shape where the product goes next.
• Build and improve the Angular and React interfaces customers use to search, filter, and act on intent data.
• Build production-ready systems with a focus on performance, reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
• Own features and projects end-to-end across the stack, from technical design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and ongoing improvements.
• Work with distributed systems and event-driven architectures using Kafka and Pub/Sub, including messaging and asynchronous data flows.
• Design and implement APIs and services that integrate with other internal and external systems.
• Work with large and complex data flows in MongoDB and BigQuery, and understand how data moves through backend systems.
• Deploy, monitor, troubleshoot, and improve services running in production on GKE and Cloud Run.
• Participate in system design and architecture discussions and help make sound technical decisions.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, QA, and other engineering teams to deliver complete solutions.
• Investigate complex production issues and identify root causes rather than only addressing symptoms.
• Improve existing systems and proactively identify opportunities to increase reliability, performance, and engineering efficiency.
• Use AI coding tools as part of your everyday workflow to write, review, test, and debug code faster.
• Provide technical guidance to other engineers and contribute to engineering best practices.

What you bring

• 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering and building production systems, with most of that on the backend.
• Strong experience with Node.js and TypeScript, or a similar backend technology.
• Experience building modern web UIs with Angular and/or React.
• Deep understanding of backend development principles, APIs, services, databases, and distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience building and operating production applications, including debugging and troubleshooting real-world issues.
• Experience with event-driven systems and messaging technologies, particularly Kafka.
• Experience designing and working with both REST and GraphQL APIs.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and services; GCP experience is preferred.
• Strong understanding of scalability, performance, reliability, observability, and system design.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex projects and drive them from design through production.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to investigate complex technical issues independently.
• Strong communication skills and ability to make and explain technical decisions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with NestJS.
• Strong experience with GCP and cloud-native services such as Pub/Sub, BigQuery, GKE, and Cloud Run.
• Experience with MongoDB or other NoSQL databases.
• Experience with search systems: indexing, ranking, relevance tuning, or query performance.
• Experience with ML-driven or AI-powered features, such as signal scoring, embeddings, or semantic search.
• Experience with Kubernetes and containerized applications.
• Experience with CI/CD and production deployment pipelines.
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools.
• Experience with high-scale or distributed systems.
• Deep experience with Angular or React, plus an eye for UX and frontend performance.

What Success Looks Like

• Owns features from initial design through production, across backend and UI.
• Understands how services actually run, communicate, scale, fail, and recover in production.
• Can independently investigate and resolve complex backend and production issues.
• Builds systems and interfaces that are reliable, maintainable, observable, and scalable.
• Makes thoughtful technical and architectural decisions.
• Proactively identifies problems and improvements rather than waiting for requirements.
• Acts as a technical owner and contributes to the growth and effectiveness of the engineering team.
