About the Role
As a remote Sr. Software Engineer on the Core Platform team, you will work
closely with the product, design, and machine learning teams to design and
build services, APIs, and tools that support our internal applications and
external SaaS products. For example, where several SaaS products have common
requirements, the team might build a microservice that provides that common
functionality.
You will integrate early, demo often, and incorporate feedback from internal
and external users to iteratively build and land features so that they truly
solve problems for our customers. You will use automated testing with a
pragmatic approach to deliver robust and flexible solutions that can grow and
change rapidly as AKASA expands. You will be expected to come up with creative
solutions, share your experience with the team, communicate complex technical
concepts to less technical users, help mentor junior team members, and work
together to shape the platform architecture.
