Staff Backend Engineer

Macpower Digital Assets Edge Private Limited

Job Description

Job Description

Why are we hiring Staff Engineers:

  • We are building a very flat engineering organization - we'd like the leaders who set the technical direction of the company to be writing code.
  • To do this, we must hire well-rounded, experienced engineers who have succeeded within other similar organizations.
  • While our team may grow over time, we'd like to hire folks who make problems simpler and pull others with them.
  • We're looking to make sure the scope of the problem space affords every individual ownership over a whole problem or strategy - we will only hire as the problem merits more owners.

Office policy: Hybrid (a couple days per week) in our Brooklyn office. Full-time remote is not an option.

What will you be doing:
  • Help set technical direction for the company.
  • Think ahead and help the team see around corners.
  • Lead critical projects and support other engineers.
  • Own core pieces of our system.
  • Ship code on a daily cadence.
  • Work directly with customers.
  • Make product decisions.

Tech Stack:

  • All AWS, a number of service within that umbrella (Lambda, EKS, RDS, EC2, etc.).
  • Full node.js on the backend.
  • Moving towards more Kubernetes.
  • React on the frontend, though moving towards Web Components.

Must have:

  • 8 years of experience building and scaling critical production systems.
  • Involvement with company leadership as an owner of technical and product strategy.
  • Experience leading projects which involve collaboration with peers and customers.
  • Ability to write and debug production-quality backend code.
  • Ability to design new systems and evaluate the tradeoffs in time to market, scalability, reliability, performance, and maintainability.
  • A desire to focus on customer needs and solve real world problems.
  • Experience with Kubernetes or Docker.

Nice to have:

  • Experience working in healthcare.
  • Experience working at a startup.

Interview Process:

  • Intro call with Head of Eng.
  • Coding Interview.
  • Architecture.
  • Panel Interview.
  • Chat with CEO.


Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Paid time off, Parental leave, Stock plan, Target equity count: 90000
