Senior Back End Developer Auckland, New Zealand
DESCRIPTION
At FaceMe, we bring a human connection to the interactions you have with the artificial intelligences being increasingly employed by the businesses you deal with everyday. We are growing quickly and looking for a Senior Developer to join our Product team in Auckland. In this role, you will be a key contributor to one of FaceMe’s core product teams and will play an important role in helping to develop FaceMe’s platform and take it to market. In particular you will be a key member of the developer experience team; the team responsible for the development of FaceMe's SDK and self-service user experiences.
What you're trying to achieve:
Deliver a high quality of development output via code that is well-crafted, comprehensively unit-tested and appropriately documented.
Maximise system quality by quantifying, testing and understanding changes in the context of the end to end system.
Help de-risk complex development efforts participating in product discovery activities, experiments and proofs-of-concept.
Encourage the adoption of continuous integration, and always be looking for opportunities to level up the team’s deployment practices and overall productivity.
Help ensure that reasonable expectations around delivery are set with stakeholders.
Support the professional services team in situations where product issues need to be troubleshooted and resolved.
Work closely with QA to both triage product defects, and collaborate on strategies for defect prevention.
Help ensure that FaceMe’s platform operates within the SLAs agreed with customers, and meets internal non-functional requirements.
To be successful, you will collaborate with other senior engineering staff on architectural and technical design decisions. You will work alongside the SRE team to help improve their product team’s devops practices and discover optimal ways to productionise code. You will also be an active participant in the team’s delivery processes (e.g. leading planning/grooming sessions, suggesting improvements at retrospectives, demoing at reviews etc.).
REQUIREMENTS
To succeed in this role, you can demonstrate:
Ability to suggest improvements to technologies, tools and processes, including the ability to evaluate alternative options.
Ability to break down large, complex pieces of work into small executable chunks.
Ability to share information/knowledge with other members of the team, and more junior members when required.
Ability to make pragmatic decisions around scope, technical design and unit test coverage.
Ability to have productive discussions and debates with team members around potential technical approaches.
Ability to interview potential engineering candidates, and contribute to FaceMe’s recruitment efforts.
A professional attitude towards performance feedback; providing it to others generously, and being open minded when receiving it from others.
BENEFITS
Life can be a constant juggle between the multiple roles we play (spouse, parent, caregiver, employee, friend etc). We encourage our people to live healthy, balanced lives by providing the flexibility they need to fulfil the responsibilities of those roles and other outside of work commitments. We offer flexible start and finish times, the ability to work from home when needed as well as an extra week’s leave each year.
We offer an annual learning allowance so we can keep growing and contributing, and we have health insurance to support our health and wellbeing. We also offer options so all of our employees can have an ownership stake in the business.
If you can't see any opportunities listed that match your skillset and aspirations but you're excited by what we're about and can see yourself contributing to the future, we'd love to hear from you. Email us at [email protected]lemail.com and let us know what kind of roles you're interested in, attaching your CV/resume.
