Position Description

Are you a high-performing engineer ready to scale your skills within a sophisticated, cloud-native ecosystem? As a Software Engineer III, you will join a collaborative engineering team focused on building high-availability backend services and intuitive frontend interfaces.

This is a "growth-accelerator" role. You will work directly with Senior Engineers to ship production-ready code using Golang and React, while gaining deep exposure to Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. We are looking for a candidate who is passionate about clean code, eager to participate in architectural design walkthroughs, and ready to take the next step in their professional journey.

Core Responsibilities

• Feature Development: Build and deploy scalable backend services in Golang and responsive frontend components in React based on modern design patterns.
• Code Quality & Excellence: Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code while participating in rigorous peer code reviews to ensure industry-leading standards.
• Testing & Automation: Develop unit and integration tests to ensure system reliability and assist in automated regression testing.
• Cloud & DevOps Integration: Leverage GitHub, Docker, and Kubernetes within a mature CI/CD pipeline to streamline deployment and service orchestration.
• Observability: Implement logging, metrics, and tracing to monitor service health and assist in proactive troubleshooting.
• Continuous Growth: Actively engage in technical design sessions and mentorship opportunities to evolve from task execution to component ownership.

Required Skills/Education

• Experience: 1–3 years of professional software engineering experience in an Agile environment.
• Technical Proficiency: Strong foundational knowledge in either Golang (Go) or React.js (preference for candidates with exposure to both).
• Modern Tooling: Hands-on experience with Git version control and a basic understanding of containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Cloud Concepts: Familiarity with cloud-native architecture and distributed systems.
• Soft Skills: Exceptional problem-solving abilities, a "student of the game" mindset, and the communication skills necessary to thrive in a team-centric environment.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience).
