Job Description
Flexa is the leading retail payments network for digital assets. Our mission
is to bring buyers and sellers closer together—on sellers’ terms—and to build
and offer a safe and seamless bridge from the cobwebs of the existing global
financial system to a more modern and long-term sustainable infrastructure. We
are passionate about the transformative power of digital currencies and we're
not daunted by the prospect of starting from scratch to make the world a
better place. Every day we rebuild and reconsider the very concept of what it
means to use money. We are enabling faster, safer, and more private payments
and helping merchants streamline checkout, reduce costs, and better serve
customers.
On the Flexa engineering team, we expect each other to take the time needed to
build software thoughtfully and sustainably. Our team leverages bleeding-edge
tool chains, technologies, and practices, and we strive to consistently learn
and improve our infrastructure and techniques. We support each other by
prioritizing collaboration with our teammates over our individual engineering
work. We trust that when we ask for code reviews, these requests are given our
teammates’ sharpest focus and diligent feedback. We focus on reducing cycle
times via continuous self-deployment.
We are currently looking for an infrastructure-focused software engineer to
help us design, develop, and deploy our software and services. Our development
process is lightweight and productive, and revolves around our mutual respect
for each other as well as our individual dedication to building high-quality
products. You may be a fit for this position if you have a strong background
or interest in building successful APIs, SDKs, and other systems; you have
comfort with the full breadth of the software development lifecycle; you
practice exceptional attention to detail; and you’re comfortable learning new
technologies and systems.
### What you'll do:
* Guide our infrastructure-focused efforts by collaborating with our senior engineers and mentoring the team on your approach
* Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to design, develop, and document APIs, SDKs, and other services or tooling from inception to deployment
* Write well-designed, reusable, and testable service and library code that you—and your fellow software engineers—are happy to maintain
* Exercise ownership and accountability over your own parts of Flexa’s infrastructure
* Troubleshoot, debug, and upgrade existing software systems, including the development and integration of new components or automation pipelines when necessary
* Ensure that the appropriate telemetry and other metrics are properly captured and communicated for the services and software to which you contribute
* Participate in code review with fellow team members to improve your work as well as theirs
* Participate in our on-call incident response rotation shared by the engineering team
### You should have:
* A desire to continue leveraging your experience building and documenting testable and publicly distributed software as part of a team (experience within the financial, retail, or blockchain technology sectors is a plus)
* Strong expertise with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Prometheus; Continuous integration and delivery/deployment (CI/CD)
* Familiarity with or interest in writing Go
* A strong ability to focus on quality, detail, and thoroughness in all aspects of your work
* An approach to problem solving that’s informed by an awareness of evolving technology and software development techniques
* Excitement at the prospects of owning, operating, and observing your own software
* Interest in using well-established software interfaces, databases, tools, and approaches, such as: REST, protocol buffers, and gRPC; Postgres and NoSQL; and open-source software development and maintenance
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* A passion for learning and growing
