About the role and your impact
As a Backend engineer at Community you will have the opportunity to work on service level backend-only teams or vertically integrated product teams, depending on your experience and interest. In either case, you will learn our event-driven architecture and become familiar with our infrastructure in order to be a first responder to incidents. You will design and lead the implementation of features across the services for which your team is responsible, often working with Product or other teams to define the scope of the work.
Collaboration and mentorship are part of the skills that have enabled Community to grow at a fast pace while still maintaining predictability in our software. You will have the opportunity to work with engineers across experience levels and to push everyone to grow. You will use your credibility to raise up the voice of others and champion ideas that are not your own. Experience balancing the delivery of features and building things correctly is important. You will help find the compromises when possible and speak out to ensure the team makes the right choices for both the short and long term.
Community values engineers who have the experience to tackle problems that they haven’t seen before, but also those who are willing to ask for help when they realize that they are stuck. You will proactively communicate your progress, whether you are on track or starting to fall behind. You will take ownership of your work, from ideation to delivery to production and beyond.
