About the Position
Our development stack includes a wide range of technologies, including Java, React, Node and all things AWS. You are not expected to be an expert in them all but hopefully you have touched on the majority. While the role has visibility and influence across a number of core technologies within the platform, this person will focus on an auto scaling cloud infrastructure component, capturing security data and passing it to the dashboard for display and action by our customers. Knowledge of Kubernetes and container management is essential.Working in Contrast means pursuing a life changing experience in the field of application security and continuous delivery.
You will get the opportunity to work on challenging and leading edge areas of the product. We write, test and deploy our code on a continuous basis - true DevOps. We spread knowledge, help mentor junior engineers and reduce operational risk through Pull Requests - you’ll do the same, and quickly learn about all of the code in your product area as a result. Our engineering team has a strong spirit of entrepreneurship. Every team member has joined us because they want to be part of a high-performing team and go through the startup experience. We look for candidates who share similar goals and beliefs about the work and the team they want to be a part of.
Responsibilities:
- Participation and leadership in full life cycle software development tasks using primarily Java
- Design and build RESTful APIs and microservices using cutting edge technology
- Ready to deploy: our engineers work in a fully devops environment - we deploy multiple times a day to our AWS infrastructure.
- Working with an array of AWS Features and Services.
- Collaboration across the entire engineering team - with design, product, and support colleagues to build and support new features.
- A solid analytical ability to deal with ambiguity and to solve problems independently.
- You ask questions, let others know when you need help, and tell others what you need.
About You:
- A passion for technology and a high level of personal accountability and ownership for your work.
- A “self-starter” attitude in order to make progress in ambiguous situations on schedule.
- You're a problem solver. You believe the best work is the result of finding the simplest solution to complex challenges.
- You’re a great communicator - whether you’re talking to fellow engineers or to a customer about the latest product features
- You take pride in the work you produce - your code is clean, your designs are elegant and you are constantly refactoring.
- Own your work. Whether a nasty bug or an awesome feature, you put your name on every line of code.
- You’re keen to both teach and learn - There are new colleagues to help get started, and new technologies, frameworks, ways of approaching problems to be considered.
We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
What We Offer:
- A fun and dynamic environment where you work with other like-minded people on products which make a real difference to the security of our customers
- The onboarding, training, and tools to allow you to excel from day one
- A team who are generous with their knowledge and time, who work collaboratively and provide each other a platform to succeed
