The Opportunity

Exciting news - Mixmax hit $12 million in annual revenue and we’re profitable! We just raised more money and are looking to invest more to accelerate growth.

We are looking for a principal engineer with lead capabilities who can work with and help develop a team of skilled and highly motivated engineers. The successful candidate will also have a deep technical curiosity demonstrated by past roles as an exceptional contributor. We are growing and you will play a key role in designing and implementing our next generation architecture.

 

What you'll do

In this role you will not only contribute code at the highest level individually but also provide technical leadership to one or more agile teams (~4-8 engineers). You will champion software engineering best practices, implementing and encouraging iteration and breaking down complex projects into smaller, discrete parts. Highly experienced, you will exemplify a technical lead, comfortable discussing design and architecture trade-offs. You will advocate for and foster a productive, collaborative, and results driven culture around the team.

  • Champion effective Agile development processes
  • Propose and own architecture initiatives and platform improvements
  • Mentor software engineers to help them develop their software design and development skills
  • Show leadership as a hands-on developer in multiple layers of the software stack
  • Show a sense of ownership and pride in your role as a leader and make us believe you will excel
  • Work with everyone from engineers to product owners to help communicate, prioritize, influence, and inform key product decisions.

 Preferred Skills and Background

  • You have a BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent
  • You bring 5 or more years of experience as a Principal / Software Engineer, including 1-2 years in a technical leadership or mentoring role
  • You have at least 2 years of experience working with AWS
  • You have a broad and deep knowledge of AWS and backend architectures, RESTful APIs, NoSQL databases, analytics, and operations.  You are conversant in front end architectures. We run on AWS and develop in Node.js and ES6/Typescript.
  • You have consistently exceeded expectations throughout your career, and you can describe specific activities and projects which demonstrate this behavior
  • Excellent documentation and communication skills; we are 100% distributed and we work across multiple time zones. 
  • We recognize that the ability to collaborate synchronously is sometimes necessary. To join important meetings and pair programs with teammates, we ask that you have the flexibility to work from 9 AM - 11 AM US Pacific Time, on some days as needed.

It’s Also Awesome (But 100% Not a Requirement!) For You To Have

  • Experience with event driven architectures
  • Experience with a Salesforce integration
  • The ability to refer other great engineers to come work at Mixmax! 😉
