The technology choices we’re standardizing on are:

• Service-oriented architecture (SOA) using message queues for internal communication, with services mainly written for the JDK (Java/Groovy/Scala/Clojure/Kotlin) and Ruby
• Native mobile applications on Android and iOS – mobile-first wherever it makes sense
• Responsive client applications built on React, integrating mapping and other 3rd party services
• Big Data technologies like Hadoop, Cassandra, Apache Spark, Clojure, Haskell, machine learning, to make informed business decisions
• Modern continuous integration and deployment, using technologies including Concourse, Docker, and BOSH

About you:

• Work in a distributed environment with team members in multiple time zones
• Own changes to be made from definition to support in production
• Experienced in functional, unit, integration, and performance testing
• Experienced in troubleshooting errors in large, distributed systems in a 24/7 production environment, including using log aggregators (ELK, Splunk, etc) and APMs (New Relic, DataDog, etc)
• Experienced in consuming and creating Application Programming Interfaces (API)
• Shipped robust, high-performance, scalable applications to production
• Communicate clearly, both verbally and in writing
• Collaborate with peers in a variety of disciplines
• Experience developing software interfaces through collaboration with other developers
• Have skills in technologies including
  • Web services written in JVM languages (Java, Groovy, Kotlin) and Ruby
  • Databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Oracle)
  • Microservice architectures
  • Instrumentation of an app or service for alerting and monitoring (New Relic or similar)
  • Software lifecycle tools such as Git, Concourse (or similar CI server), and JIRA
