The Company:
We're a tech company that's changing how people bank and think about their finances. We value empathy, curiosity, craft and efficacy. Our mission is to help people feel confident with their money. We do that by bringing humanity, elegance and ease to the consumer banking experience. And we make banking beautiful.
The Job:
Simple is built upon a REST-based service-oriented architecture. We're looking for an engineer to join the team that builds and maintains this architecture.
As a Senior Backend Engineer at Simple, you'll be responsible for the design, implementation and support of high-performance distributed systems. Senior engineers at Simple are expected to design highly available systems that handle failure gracefully. While individual contributions are valuable, you will also be expected to raise the level of execution of everyone on your team. For the most part you'd be working in Scala, with a bit of Java. Most of our data is stored in PostgreSQL, we use Kafka and RabbitMQ, and we're hosted in AWS. We don't require experience in our exact stack, but experience with the technologies we use is a plus.
While we love remote employees, we can only employ folks within the US at this time.
About You:
You value open, active collaboration and work well with others, helping teammates who need it, and asking for the help you need in turn. You're excited to pick up new skills, techniques, and technologies, and love to share what you've learned. You enjoy solving difficult problems such as occur in distributed systems, care about metrics, monitoring, and testing. You're excited about working closely with people across the organization, from your direct teammates to members of ops, and customer service. You want to be a part of building something beautiful and meaningful, even if user interface isn't your specialty.
Details:
We recognize the dire lack of diversity in our industry, and we're not okay with it. We actively seek to address it with our hiring and retention processes, as well as our office culture. If you're on the fence about whether you're a fit, we say go for it, and apply!
Why Simple's a Great Place to Work
* Based in Portland, Oregon-- a beautiful place to live and work (or just see in the background if you work remotely).
* Competitive salary and benefits package.
* A supportive and nurturing place to work. We actively consider how we can improve employees' quality of life--both inside and outside the office.
* Committed to hiring quality human beings. Simple is a place where others will watch out for you and help you learn. We actually like and respect each other.
* We give a damn about what we do, both as individual contributors and as a company on a mission to change banking. We're passionate and nerdy about our work; in fact we're kind of that way about things outside of work, too.
In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification document form upon hire. Email our team at careers@simple.com if you need an accommodation in the application process.
A background check will be required for this opportunity.
