You will play a critical role in guiding and mentoring our development teams while collaborating with cross-functional teams and leadership to deliver high-quality products.

Are you excited about the position and its responsibilities, but not sure if you’re 100% qualified? Do you feel you can work to help us crush the mission? If you answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions, we encourage you to apply! You won’t want to miss the opportunity to be a part of the BAND.

• Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize existing code to improve performance and reliability.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of development processes, tools, and methodologies.
• Facilitate technical discussions and decision-making processes within the team.

If you’re our person, you probably look like this:

• Able to mentor Senior Developers on front-end, back-end, DevOps, and Cloud technologies
• You have 7+ years of experience building web services in a modern programming language (such as Java, C#, or Go)
• 7+ years’ experience in designing and building and operating high-scale, mission critical production systems
• Familiarity with scalability challenges in both cloud-based environments (preferably AWS) and on-premise.
• Experience in a mature CI/CD SDLC environment; implemented exception handling, logging, monitoring, performance measurement, operational metrics knowledge

• An understanding of network protocols, HTTP, and REST
• Experience with relational and non-relational database systems
• Experience with scale and performance optimization
• Experience with test automation patterns and frameworks
• A 4-year technical degree or equivalent experience

Bonus Points:

Wow, it’d be really great if also:

• You have expertise in Java and Spring
• You have worked with Docker containers and Kubernetes
• You have deep experience with AWS (ECS, API Gateway, S3, SQS, Kafka, Datadog, Sumo Logic etc.) or another cloud platform, and you “get” how scalable cloud applications are engineered
• A strong understanding of the SIP protocol and telephony concepts
