About the Role:
Transmit Security is a top player in its game and is heading for an exciting year. In this role, you will take an integral part in the creation of a new and innovative SaaS product.
We are building a brand-new team, from the ground up, around a core part of our identity platform. You will be one of the first engineers on it — which means you will shape the architecture, the standards and the way the team works, rather than inherit them.
If you are a talented Senior Backend Engineer that likes to solve complex problems and looking for your next challenge we want you to join our team!
What you’ll do:
Join a brand-new team, built from the ground up, that owns its product end-to-end — you will have a direct and visible influence on architecture, technology choices, engineering standards and the way we work.
Work both on delivering infrastructure and customer-facing features.
Own features end-to-end: from design, through backend and UI, to production and the customers using them.
Write modular, extendable, testable, efficient and secure code for the platform and microservices — in a functional, strongly-typed Scala codebase where correctness genuinely matters.
Contribute also to the front-end side of the product (in React / TypeScript).
Design and build scalable systems: latency-sensitive, highly-available backend services that run in the critical path of some of the world’s largest banks and retailers — “slow” and “flaky” are not options.
Grow with the team as its scope expands into data pipelines and large-scale data processing.
Develop a platform that will affect hundreds of customers worldwide, and billions of end-users worldwide.
At least 5+ years of proven experience developing production backend services at scale.
Strong, proven architecture and design skills. Experience in building scalable architectures and passionate about finding simple solutions to complex problems.
Deep, hands-on expertise in at least one modern statically-typed, high-level language — Scala, Kotlin, Java, C#, C++ or Go. Scala is a significant advantage.
You have already changed your primary programming language at least once in your career — and you are excited to make Scala your next one. We care more about the depth of engineering thinking than about which language you happen to be writing today.
Comfortable with functional programming concepts — immutability, algebraic data types, type-driven design, composition, pure functions — whether or not you have used an FP language in production.
Willing and able to work across the stack: you don’t have to be a frontend expert, but you should be happy to own a feature all the way into the React / TypeScript UI.
Experienced with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar) and with designing data models that survive contact with production.
Experienced working with cloud environments and containers (AWS / GCP / Azure, Kubernetes, Docker).
Independent, persistent, and a “getting things done” person — essential in a team at day one.
Excellent teammate skills, effectiveness both in independent and collaborative work.
