Senior Software Engineer

What you'll do

• Have a huge impact on which products and features we build
• Help shape our technical architecture, processes, stack, and culture
• Take ownership of engineering and product goals end-to-end
• Interface with customers to learn and communicate their needs

Technical background

• Strong sense of ownership and the ability to independently make good decisions for users and the business
• Extensive (4+ years) production-level experience with JavaScript in one of the major frameworks (Vue.js, React, Angular)
• Extensive full stack experience (GraphQL)
• IaaS experience in Terraform, Serverless, or CloudFormation
• Interest to learn and do some data engineering + data science work - in scaling / deploying pipelines and basic machine learning models

Suggested Background

• A desire to be part of an early stage startup and wear multiple hats
• Excited about esports, gaming, and data, or curious to learn
• It's great to have attention to detail and high-quality, but know how to balance that with speed given we're a startup
• A sense of humor (startups should be fun) as well as gravitas (startups are serious; money and livelihoods are on the line)

Challenges we're tackling

• UX & Education: we want to build an amazing experience with a powerful and beautiful interface for our users. Many of our users are used to affiliate marketing, and love watching gaming content, but they aren't sure what metrics to drive their decisions with. Our customers feel empowered by the insights we provide - how can we build powerful features that enable users to get decision-driving insights fast, while making the process fun?
• Scalability: our brand users query and analyze data served their creators of choice, and creators check their "Athlane Scores" daily, so our frontend and backend systems need to be performant and reliable to support these workflows.
• Team agility: as an early-stage startup, especially one in a constantly changing ecosystem like gaming, we strive to balance product excellence with agility while maintaining rapid communications with our customers. It's hard but always rewarding!
