Software Engineer, Compensation

You have 2+ years of professional experience writing and maintaining production-level applications.

• You have production-level experience writing Javascript and you're comfortable in either Node or React.
• You’re no stranger to SQL—you know how to efficiently model data and write performant queries in a relational database like PostgreSQL.
• You know the ins-and-outs of maintaining and scaling an application actively serving customers in production.
• You seek out the root cause when debugging software defects, and champion improvements that prevent future issues.

You’re a great communicator and collaborator.

• You take care to write code that your colleagues will also own, understand, and maintain.
• You’re clear and concise in explaining your thought process and in enumerating the tradeoffs made in your work.
• You work well with designers and product managers to come up with optimal solutions. 

You enjoy taking an active role in the development process.

• You love supporting other software engineers who are newer to the industry.
• You have experience taking the lead in planning and executing the development roadmap for software projects.

• You’ll build software to help companies build cultures in which their employees thrive.
• You’ll work with other engineers to build and own products across a modern tech stack. Our current stack includes React, Relay Modern, GraphQL, Node, and PostgreSQL. We rely on AWS to host our infrastructure.
• You’ll independently lead the execution of complex projects, including those that require cross-functional collaboration with product managers and designers.
• You’ll provide substantial mentorship to less experienced colleagues, helping to refine their technical craft and expand their knowledge.
• You’ll make contributions to our engineering practices, identifying and evangelizing improvements to improve our team output.

The Compensation Product Platform team (CPP) is working alongside the other Comp teams to get Lattice’s compensation product through the exciting time of our initial release, and working with Product to explore this new space with a lot of greenfield work! As a platform team CPP is specifically focussing on much of the core back end functionality such as data ingestion & modeling, designing APIs, building out the new Hoodwink service, breaking stuff out of the Weaver monolith, performance and reliability tuning, and building out functionality for both internal and external users as we’re actively figuring out where to steer the product. This is a great opportunity for someone who gets dopamine hits from solving some of the meatier, back end platform type problems, and enjoys being an active part of the conversation around how we’re building out a brand new product.
