Job Purpose and Overview

Senior Software Engineer at Appfire has a cross-team impact – you’ll be solving the most challenging (and rewarding) matters like the performance and reliability improvements of our Cloud and On-premise products, data residency and automatic cross-region data migration, and end-to-end testing. You also will be part of an engineering team responsible for designing and implementing new features and also building and releasing new Cloud/On-premise based products from scratch.

As part of our engineering team, you will have the opportunity to work on some of our enterprise-class Workflow and Automation products, such as JMWE, JSU, JQL and etc., with more than 30k distributions worldwide.

Of course, not every day will be about re-architecting our existing products, starting a new product, or saving the world. So expect to spend a lot of time working as a part of our product teams and devote your talent to delivering features that will delight our existing customers or create new opportunities.

What You Will Do

• Work on some of the top apps (JSU & JSE) for Atlassian Jira.
• Join a self-organizing, cross-functional product team and cooperate closely with other Software Engineers, Product Manager, Team Leader, and with other specialists like Product Marketeers or Support Engineers.
• Design, build, and maintain efficient and scalable applications written in TypeScript, React and Node.js / Java (Spring framework).
• Follow and establish the best engineering practices: automated testing, code review, pair programming, YBIYRI (you built it you run it).
• Automate cloud services and configuration management to ensure scalability, operational efficiency and cost optimization.
• Share your thoughts openly and honestly on what would be the best for the customers and the business: you will be part of discussions about the future of our products and Appfire.
• Be the change you seek - if you see that something can be improved, suggest how and make it happen (alone or by engaging your colleagues).
• Benefit from the seamless access to Support team, quick feedback and direct communication with our customers.

• Ability to work remotely.
• Flexible work schedule.
• Growth opportunity in a dynamic company.
• Work in a highly motivated team.
• Every Appfire employee is eligible for company equity.
• 25 days paid vacation, team buildings and celebrations, sports card and more.

What We Would Like to See

• Proven record (5+ years) of delivery of multiple complex software development projects or products.
• Hands-on experience with frontend and backend development with Typescript, React, Node.js and Web UI technologies including HTML5 and CSS.
• Basic understanding of Java and willingness to do frontend development on a Java based backend.
• Willingness to learn and use multiple technologies. Whereas we appreciate the breadth, we value the depth even more.
• Truly engineering approach to solving problems. Good theoretical foundations of computer science (e.g. algorithms and computational complexity, OOP) are super practical in the ever-changing landscape of technologies.
• Good understanding of modern Cloud architectures, and practical experience implementing them in AWS.
• Deep architectural understanding of web applications, including performance, quality, and security aspects.
• Good grasp of SQL and relational databases (postgresql).
• Ability to decompose complex problems into well-described, realistic to estimate tasks.
• Fluent written and spoken English.

Tech stack:

• Our cloud apps are developed in the frontend with Typescript/React or handlebar templates and in the backend either in Typescript/Node.js or Java based on Spring Boot. Apps are running in AWS.
• Our DC apps are developed in Java with Velocity Templates & Typescript/React.
