• 8+ years experience in designing and developing scalable enterprise level back-end solutions.
• BS/MS degree in Computer Science or another highly technical subject where programming was a key requirement.
• Professional experience in software development using modern programming languages like Java or Python.
• Familiar with architecture, design, development, and deployment of large scale enterprise systems.
• Understand security concepts like OAuth and build reliable and safe applications.
• Knowledge of data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, design patterns, and performance/scale considerations.
• Experience working with relational databases including development, troubleshooting and performance optimization.
• Understanding and hands-on experience with API-driven designs focusing in testable and scalable implementations.
• Experience with multiple technology stacks: Cloud Dev, Platforms, Web Dev, Frameworks or service–oriented architecture.
• Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes.
• Experience with event-driven architecture and messaging brokers like RabbitMQ or Kafka.
• Comfortable with AI-assisted code development tools and understanding of their role in accelerating modern software delivery.

Requirements

• Excellent analytical and quantitative skills.
• Experience working in a global environment, across multiple time zones and geographies.
• Exposure to Salesforce or a similar large CRM system.
• Familiarity with API-first development, OpenAPI/Swagger specifications.
• Experience with integrations and ability to get up to speed with multiple third-party products and their APIs and environments.
• Strong foundations in software engineering, encompassing the entire software delivery lifecycle.

• 8x8 believes diversity makes our company stronger which is why we are a proud equal opportunities employer and encourage all of our staff to bring their authentic selves to work.
• We believe in fairness which is why we have been a member of the Living Wage Foundation for many years.
