About this role

This role supports the continued development of BASE, an online-shop creation service used by more than 2.6 million shops. The engineer joins one of roughly 10 small development teams and helps improve a long-running web product that is being evolved for greater scale, reliability, and development productivity.

The work includes leading feature development and existing-function improvements, defining and solving technical issues, designing and implementing changes, and reviewing specifications and code. The engineer also improves performance, maintainability, and scalability, provides technical guidance to team members, and proposes practical improvements to the development experience. The posting does not specify particular programming languages or frameworks; it directs candidates to separate materials for the technology stack.

Applicants must have at least three years of professional development experience using a major programming language, experience taking a user-facing web application through design, implementation, and operation, and experience leading structural improvements or refactoring of an existing codebase and architecture. They must also have sustained experience contributing to design and code reviews and leading team discussions about technical issues and trade-offs.
