You are comfortable being one of the first members of a newly formed team. You love to collaborate with colleagues to understand customer problems and deliver great user experiences.

  • Collaboration: work closely with a team to design to define, build, and deliver new features in the Yahoo Weather apps and integrate weather into other Yahoo surfaces such as Home, News, Mail, and Search.

  • Code: you will spend most of your time writing code. This includes collaborating with client teams on feature development, optimizing how systems operate, reducing tech debt, investigating bug/crash fixes, and support

  • Performance Optimization: identify and implement strategies to enhance system performance and responsiveness as backend and client work progresses together

  • Communication: Share your opinions and help shape our technical direction, best practices, product ideas, and team processes. We value and depend on your input!

Skills & Experience:

  • 10+ years experience building and architecting high-performing and scalable frontend and backend systems

  • Full-stack experience across the frontend (building apps & UI components with React/Next.js), backend (building & maintaining services with Java, Node.js and/or Python), and databases (understanding of various database engines, hands-on experience with Redis desirable)

  • Experience as a tech lead with a track record of mentoring and knowledge sharing within and outside the team

  • Ability to build and maintain data pipelines, including data ingestion, data transformation, data understanding, and optimizing how data is presented to clients

  • Experience building location-based products, including the use of maps SDKs and APIs a plus

  • Knowledge and experience deploying to and building in AWS

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • The quintessential teammate – great communicator, adaptable, supportive, hard working, and enjoys a good laugh

  • An interest in weather and strong opinions about weather apps is a plus!
