The Position:

GameChanger's Core Services Team enables GameChanger engineers to deliver great products on a secure, stable, and scalable platform by delivering libraries and frameworks to make feature development more autonomous and efficient. This empowered, fully remote team works collaboratively with other platform and software engineering teams and engineering leaders to gather feedback, review designs, and proactively improve the back-end libraries, patterns, and practices that product engineering builds upon.

  • Work with the DevOps/Infrastructure and Mobile App Platform teams to manage a scalable and resilient API that handles billions of API requests and events per day.

  • Promote responsible engineering practices across the whole engineering organization.

  • Help engineers contribute at the highest level and serve our customers while gaining technical breadth and depth, improve judgment, and develop into tomorrow's leaders.

  • Work with leadership peers to refine and improve our innovative engineering culture.

  • Participate in an occasional on-call rotation with the team.

Who You Are:

  • 5+ years of working and leading an engineering team, including as a technical lead/architect.

  • Experience building and operating large-scale, highly-available, observable, and secure distributed systems

  • Customer empathy for internal and external customers.

  • Knowledgeable about AWS services, patterns and best practices for resiliency, scalability, and security.

Perks:

  • Unlimited vacation policy.

  • Paid volunteer opportunities.

  • Technology stipend - $4,000 every 2 years after your start to make sure you have the latest and greatest technology

  • WFH stipend - $500 annually to make your WFH situation comfortable.

  • Learning stipend - $500 annually towards continued development

  • Monthly physical, mental, wellness & learning stipend offered through Holisticly

  • Monthly lifestyle stipend offered through Fringe
