ShoppinPal jobs - Data Integrations Lead

Our ideal candidate is someone who has prior experience with complex API integrations and can architect complex scalable systems with a keen eye towards performance, security and availability. This is a super hands-on role (i.e. you must be very much in touch with backend coding and want to do it everyday). You will need to spearhead all inbound and outbound API integrations to build the most robust and scalable integration platform in the B2B Cloud space. Responsibilities span architecture, design and implementation of the entire system to support thousands of customers globally. Our micro-service stack is primarily built around NodeJS, PHP, Mongo DB and MySQL (also been running a few experiments with Golang). Deep familiarity with Git and basic working knowledge of DevOps (Server and DB config, Docker, Kubernetes etc) is strongly preferred. One of the core responsibilities is to ensure rapid scaling of the services while ensuring supreme code quality and full test/automation coverage. Mentoring should come naturally to you, as well as finding the right balance towards process and documentation.

Highlights:

1) You will be working on interesting technical challenges in a product centric and open-source driven environment. The role requires a good knowledge of Algorithmic Design and Architecture, Data structures, OOPS Concepts, serverless architectures and complex problem solving skills.

2) You will help set a very high bar on code quality.

3) You will take ownership of product features from conception to implementation, testing deployment and support.

4) A lot of freedom on when and where you work from - just get stuff done.

5) You will open source as much as possible, and blog about cool things that you learnt and built.

6) You will help define who we become as a company.

7) You will get stock options in line with silicon valley standards.

Caveats:

1) We have a strict no-divas rule. There are a lot of smart people on the team but no one with an attitude / superiority complex. Everyone at ShoppinPal is focused on rapid learning and sharing.

2) If you think writing tests for your code, writing docs, doing customer support etc are not your cup of tea, this isn't the right role for you.

3) Similarly if you're viewing this just as a 20-40% increment opportunity over your current compensation, this isn't the right role or company for you.

This role can be the growth opportunity of a lifetime for anyone who has been operating as a backend lead and wants to grow into a fullstack CTO. Check out the links below if you'd like to learn more about us. We encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply.
