About Super.com

About this team

Super.com engineering has four full-stack product development focus areas: fintech, travel, earnings, and a superapp membership program to unite them all. Between them, our dozens of microservices and event-driven architecture handle 1000s of requests and events per second, ingest over 1TB of data per day and process over $1MM per day in sales. We have 80 engineers across our product development and infrastructure teams. We work in close partnership with Product Managers, Designers, and QA in an agile, fast-paced scaleup environment that respects work/life harmony.

About this role

As a Software Architect you will be the most senior technical individual contributor in our company. You will be the point person for solving the most difficult technical challenges our engineering org faces spanning frontend and backend web development as well as system architecture. You will drive our long-term technology roadmap and how to best leverage engineering to drive user and business impact in our fintech, travel, earnings, and membership products. You will predominantly work with React on the frontend, and a combination of Python and Node microservices on the backend. Other technologies you’ll work with include Gitlab, AWS, Kubernetes, Postgres, Redis, Datadog, Amplitude, and Snowflake. You will report to the  engineering department head, and play a key role on our “techxecutive” team.

    • Raise the bar for engineering through mentorship, leading by example, and contributing to technical decision making and guilds
    • Tackle high-priority, high-impact, and ambitious initiatives to propel our company and technical excellence forward, getting your hands dirty with POCs and working with others to productionize
    • Report into the engineering department head, but work largely self-directed and autonomously. Your role will be versatile, making use of your judgment to direct your efforts to the highest leverage use of your time in any given week
    • Contribute to quarterly OKR planning and brainstorming to ensure we are prioritizing technical initiatives to improve engineering productivity and architecture robustness
    • Help ensure our engineering teams strike the right balance between building quickly and building sustainably, and build vs. buy decision making

    • Still highly technical and have at least staff-level coding skills at this point in your career
    • A positive / enthusiastic person who enjoys solving problems, not just identifying them
