We are focused on standardizing core features, streamlining the application development process and empowering teams to build products faster. The services you will be working on power core features such as authentication, user notifications, backend messaging, and many more.
We have ambitious milestones but we also have a commitment to quality and agility. New code at all levels of the stack is expected to be extensible, high performing, scalable, and secure. What you build will make the wedding process more enjoyable and less stressful for millions of users.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Help develop TKWW’s core back-end services to improve performance, standardization, and security.
- Produce well-tested, maintainable, and efficient code for highly available and performant systems.
- Be an advocate for quality and curious about technology. You should like exploring new ideas and sharing what you know about everything from architecture to process.
- Collaborate in an Agile development process to help conceive, make, and deliver new products and features. You should have an opinion on how to delight our users, and enjoy collaborating closely with engineering, product, and design.
SUCCESSFUL ENGINEER CANDIDATES HAVE:
- Minimum 2 years experience as a software engineer building back-end services and APIs.
- Experience working on APIs in a modern stack. New development is primarily Node, NestJS, and Postgres.
- Some experience with Ruby on Rails.
- Experience with Python or Elixir is a plus.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure, micro-service architecture, and containers is a plus. We use AWS, Docker, and Kuberrnetes.
- Familiarity with back-end testing frameworks. You consider solid test coverage to be essential.
- Experience working with Jira and Git.
- Comfort working in an agile process.
- An ability to explain problems to technical and non-technical folks alike. A love for sharing knowledge and a desire to learn from others.
- A passion for self-improvement. You constantly strive to expand your technical skill set and to improve the quality of your code.

At The Knot Worldwide, we believe you are more than a resume and invite you to go for it, take the leap of faith, and apply for this job if it sparks your passion to join TKWW and make a difference!
WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT YOU:
- You Dream Big. You iterate and experiment to drive innovation.
- You Love Our Users. You keep our global community at the center of everything you do.
- You Do the Right Thing. You strengthen your team through respect, fairness, and inclusion.
- You Hustle Every Day. You favor urgency and own your outcomes.
- You Win Together. People are at the heart of our success and you play as a team.
WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT US:
We believe in a wide range of holistic offerings to support our employees so that they can live our values day in and day out. From mental wellbeing, physical health and financial planning, to engaging perks and discounts, we are in the business of celebrating and supporting the Moments that Matter both in and out of the “office”. We offer flexible vacation, generous parental leave and prioritize initiatives that support the growth, development, and happiness of our people.
TKWW’s approach to the future of work: At the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, TKWW pivoted all global employees to remote work while prioritizing physical and mental wellbeing. While the majority of our global offices are open and available at this time, all TKWW employees have the ability to work remotely full time through the length of 2022. Upon entering our “new normal”, TKWW will pilot a hybrid work model where employees will have additional flexibility. (Note: employees who were hired into remote positions will continue to work fully remotely.)
