The Sr. Software Engineer will focus on building the advanced functionality of our platforms within a team that designs and builds the features that make up our SaaS product lines. At Fama, Product Engineering comprises front-end and back-end engineering, and software architecture. As such, this role requires both broad knowledge and experience across all of these areas, as well as significant expertise in at least one of them. While you will not need to be the expert in all things Product Engineering, you must be able to work within a team of software product engineers with skills in all areas, and act as a technical guide to other engineers in your main area(s) of focus. This role requires significant ability to “think big and work small,” collaborate with engineering teams and leadership across the organization, and build highest quality, scalable, extensible, performant, and functional software. We run on Java, Golang, Javascript, Kafka, Cassandra, MongoDB, several flavors of SQL DBs, and AWS infrastructure and services. We are currently moving to Python on AWS serverless technologies. This position requires experience with a significant number of these technologies, two of which must include Python, and AWS infrastructure and services.
