Backend Software Engineer - Fandom｜Meet.jobs

About the jobAbout this Role

As a software engineer working on our data systems, you will help us to personalize a content feed for 300 million unique visitors per month. The feed will be a gateway for users to engage with pop culture entertainment and gaming they are passionate about on our platform of 250k+ communities.

You will also help us to determine what 40M+ user-created pages are focused on, how they connect to the Fandom community they belong to, and the other pages on communities in our network. With this knowledge you will allow Fandom to build deeper and more engaging experiences for our users.

What does a typical day look like for a software engineer? On some days you'll write code to ingest data from third party sources and connect that to our internal data stores. On others you'll work on high throughput data ingestion pipelines to promote personalized experiences for users. You will also help share your knowledge through documentation, pull requests, and informal training sessions. And finally, you'll often find yourself tuning and monitoring a production system running at scale.

You will report to an engineering manager who works remotely.
