Intermediate Software Developer

At Vidyard, we make life easier for sellers, marketers and corporate communicators. Our video messaging tools, digital sales room platform, and other products are used by Microsoft, LinkedIn, and thousands of other companies. We're passionate about elevating our customers, our teammates, our communities, and ourselves.

Vidyard is looking for an Intermediate Software Developer to join our Development team. Reporting to the Software Development Manager, you’ll work with a cross functional team consisting of developers, designers and product managers to solve customer problems and deliver amazing software.

This is a remote role open to candidates located in the United States or Canada. 

We work in teams of around 3 -10 developers. The teams are governed by a "triad" which consists of an engineering manager, a product manager, and a designer. The triad works with the developers on the team to set priorities, roadmaps, and work on projects. Teams are autonomous and each has their own segment of our users experience, as well as platform, to work on and own.

Teams are each able to set their own standards for how they work, core hours, etc so each team can be a little different in how it operates. All teams adhere to the same process for reporting their work to the rest of Engineering.

• Work with a cross functional team consisting of developers, designers and product managers to solve customer problems and deliver amazing software.
• Learn from technical leads and senior developers while knowledge sharing with other intermediates and providing mentorship to junior developers.
• Contribute code to projects, review code, and have a large engineering wide impact doing things such as architecting core services, developing internal tools, maintaining repositories, and leading technology guilds.
• Learn and apply new technologies to relentlessly drive yourself, and our platform, forward.

• A solid background in software engineering—you have had 4+ years of experience shipping user-facing, scalable web products.
• The ability to work across the software stack as a generalist, while bringing experience to either front-end or back-end development.
• A history of success delivering on different initiatives in an agile, iterative environment.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills—you strive for clarity and understanding.
• Lean thinking and an experimental, metrics-driven mindset.
• A high tolerance for ambiguity and a recognition that action is sometimes the best path to discovery.
• Experience mentoring junior developers on your team and an eagerness to learn and further develop your own skills.

• Version control - e.g. Git, Mercurial, SVN
• Core web technologies - HTTP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Testing frameworks such as RSpec, Jest, Mocha
• Modern front-end stacks - e.g. Webpack, Babel, Vue.js, React.js
• Server technologies such as Node.js and Ruby on Rails
• Relational Databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL
• Experience architecting microservice infrastructures 
• Distributed computing concerns such as message queues and pub/sub
• Operational concerns such as monitoring and logging

Our engineering team is composed of generalists who lean to either front-end or back-end development while maintaining a working knowledge of the full-stack.

Job descriptions can be overwhelming. At Vidyard we are motivated to drive change together and deeply value the unique experiences, abilities and opinions you possess, so if this role sounds like your next adventure, but you don’t feel entirely qualified, apply! We value candidates who own it, and if you’re relentlessly resourceful too, you might be exactly who we are looking for. 

As we also value user obsession, we prioritize our users, customers and community so you can expect to hear from our team even if you are not selected to move forward.
