About the role
Hiring a senior backend engineer to join our team and focus on system architecture our most popular products.

Things you'll be working on

  • Spiking on our CI/CD to improve stability
  • Build out durable/distributed cart/hosting for our ecommerce product

Looking for someone who

  • Is ALWAYS SHIPPING. We don't spend weeks planning features at Replo
  • Has 4+ years of professional experience with production distributed systems, service oriented architecture
  • Proficient in Typescript. If you have experience writing these systems in Python/Go/Java that's cool too, as long as you're willing to learn Typescript/Node - the learning curve on writing TS isn't that high for high-caliber engineers. Experience or working knowledge of React is great too, but we can teach you that if we need to
  • Has a product and customer-focused mindset
  • Has experience being burned by deployment and maintenance issues. If you have a a strong opinion on how backend systems should be built, that's good
  • Values writing clean, maintainable software, including documentation (e.g. the code needs to be correct and run fast, but we're the ones that have to read it and understand it)
  • Is comfortable with ambiguity and defining software architecture patterns to solve customer pain points


Bonus points if you

  • Have started a company before
  • Enjoy attending hackathons
  • Worked at an early-stage (Series A or earlier) startup previously
  • Have not wasted hours interview-prepping on Leetcode
  • Have an eye for visual design (or past experience in product design, Figma, etc)
