Job Level
About the role
- Support the underlying infrastructure that enables our platform to help fight financial crime. You’ll build developer tooling, manage our AWS environment using Terraform, make cross-cutting code changes, analyze scaling issues, setup and configure monitoring tools, and identify performance bottlenecks.
- Work with a small, passionate, and experienced team: We're a small team of mostly senior engineers and we love to do great work together. We're fully remote, but we make a strong effort to prioritize, design, and code collaboratively.
- Grapple with the challenges of working in a high security, high stakes environment: We work with some of the most sensitive data you can imagine and provide a critical service to our customers. Security, reliability, and correctness must always come first.
- Influence the overall architecture and hosting strategy: Great ideas come from everywhere. Everyone on the team has a voice in technical discussions, and is trusted to make significant decisions.
- Have the opportunity to grow into leadership: Hummingbird is growing rapidly. As we do, there will be opportunities for engineers to take on new roles in product, technology, or people leadership positions.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience with cloud hosted web applications, preferably with some startup experience.
- You love digging into complex problems and determining both the root cause and the best solution to fix.
- You're happy spelunking logs and running diagnostic tools to make sure you understand the problem.
- You sail through ambiguity and enjoy jumping around the stack, touching everything from low level networking and file systems to database configuration and high level architecture.
- Iteration is part of the fun. You’re not married to specific ideas or solutions.
- You want your impact to go beyond the lines of code you write.
- Safety first. You care about quality, testing, and security.
- You like digging deeply into new technologies, new domains, or new ideas.
- You want to build something exceptionally valuable and have a real impact on the world. You're excited to get your hands dirty in pursuit of that goal.
- (Bonus) Experience in the financial sector, especially around compliance or fraud.
Benefits
