About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Application Platform team, you'll be at the heart of the developer experience at GlossGenius.

You will help us distill complexity into simple, elegant solutions that allow our engineers to focus on what matters most: delivering value to our customers.

The Application Platform team's mission is to provide a bedrock of stable, scalable, and easy-to-use services. We treat our platform as a product, and our fellow engineers are our customers. Your work is critical to ensuring our systems can support our rapid growth, which already includes billions in transaction volume across tens of thousands of businesses.

This role can be based remotely in the San Francisco Bay Area OR Hybrid in our NYC headquarters (Tuesdays & Thursdays in-office).

  • Turn ambiguous problems into concrete, delightful developer experiences. You will streamline our services by improving CI/CD, standardizing observability, and enhancing our feature flagging system to reduce risk.
  • Own projects end-to-end, from technical design through implementation and rollout. You'll make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation.
  • Partner closely with product engineering, infrastructure, security, and design teams to co-create solutions. You will act as a force-multiplier, mentoring other engineers and championing best practices in everything you do.
  • Uphold best practices and high standards for engineering and product quality in addition to mentoring newer team members to do the same.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with a focus on designing, building, and operating distributed systems at scale.
  • Deep technical proficiency in backend development, ideally with Kotlin and TypeScript. A willingness to learn and work with Ruby is also important as we modernize our stack.
  • A passion for great API design and amazing developer experiences. You see other engineering teams as your customers and are driven to build tools and services that accelerate their work.
  • Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional technology initiatives and influencing technical roadmaps. You can break down large-scale projects and partner effectively with stakeholders to deliver results.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, have a bias for action, and a commitment to continuous improvement for yourself and the team around you.

What We Work With

We are open to candidates who have worked in different languages but are open to learn.

  • Languages: Kotlin, TypeScript, Ruby (Rails, Sidekiq)
  • Frameworks & Technologies: gRPC, Protobuf, Postgres, micronaut, jooq

Benefits & Perks 

  • Flexible PTO
  • Competitive health & dental insurance options, with premiums partially or fully covered by GG
  • In-person opportunities that are designed to help team members foster collaboration and build community (ie; working out of a co-working space, team dinners, and other team building activities)
  • Fertility and adoption benefits via Carrot
  • Generous, fully-paid parental leave policy
  • 401k benefit - employees are eligible to contribute starting day 1 of employment
  • Professional Development - employees receive a yearly stipend for approved learning and educational-related expenses
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Dependent Care FSA
  • Home office support
