Sr. Software Engineer - Back End
Home Solutions, Raleigh, West Virginia, us, 25911
About the Role
Home Solutions is looking for a Senior Software Engineer interested in applying their skills at the intersection of data engineering, event-driven architecture design, and web application development. This position will be part of a small, growing team working on an emerging product, Neighborhood Alerts (www.neighborhoodalerts.com). Your expertise in languages like Ruby and SQL, as well as experience with team mentorship will guide meaningful decisions to set us up for scalable future growth.
Our Senior Software Engineers drive the design and execution of technical solutions and improvements. You will work closely with our Director of Engineering and our product team to promote engineering best practices, assure code and architecture quality with an eye for scalability, control and manage technical debt, improve code reviews and team processes, and promote collaboration and a culture of learning. Successful candidates will have shown the ability to ship quality products in a fast-paced agile environment.
To give a sense for the breadth of challenges you'll be helping us tackle, the team has been facing decisions such as -Will serverless technologies like AWS Lambda, and SQS fit our use-case?How can we support OLAP queries without impacting existing application performance?Should we explore moving performance critical workloads to a compiled language like Go or Rust?What kind of scaffolding, CI/CD steps, or internal tools can we build to increase our velocity?Can we design reasonable and maintainable abstractions around integrations for our data sources?Rather than inherit a bunch of systems and processes that are set in stone, you'll be able to own and evolve everything you touch as a leader of an open-minded team that's always interested in improvements.
