As a Platform Software Engineer at Boulevard, you will be responsible for designing and building the core services that power Boulevard. Boulevard is on a journey to become a first-class platform. From an advanced Webhook system for third party developers, to a public API serving powerful integrations, you’ll play a direct role in helping to design the architecture and implement the solutions to help us achieve that goal. You'll have a direct impact on the product roadmap, regularly collaborating with the Design and Product teams to architect the best solutions, not the easiest. We pride ourselves on using the best technology for the job, maintaining high code quality while iterating with extreme speed, and sharing learnings along the way (both internally and externally).

You Will

• Own projects from design, through development, to production.
• Quickly distill fast-moving product requirements into tangible engineering tasks and designs.
• Write clean, readable, performant, secure, and documented code.
• Perform QA on your own work, write automated tests, and optimize your code.
• Do code reviews to maintain high code quality, while also iterating quickly.
• Work in highly performant and collaborative teams.

You Have

• At least 5+ years of on the job experience as an engineer.
• Experience in functional programming languages (Elixir) or object oriented languages.
• Experience in building large-scale web applications in a fast-moving team environment.
• Strong experience with relational databases and SQL (we use PostgreSQL).
• Strong experience building reliable and scalable APIs from the ground up that serve web/mobile applications, alerting & health systems, or third party integrations. This includes designing API abstractions and implementing core API concepts such as authentication.
• A generalist background and the ability to “go deep” anywhere in the stack
• Pride for the work you do and care deeply about the products which consume your services
• Strong appreciation for good design.
• Smarts, humility, communication skills, and equal willingness to teach and learn.
• Desire to shape our engineering culture by coming up with ideas, tools, and infrastructure wherever you see a problem to be solved.

Bonus Points For

• Demonstrated work beyond the back-end, experienced in creating front-end interfaces or architecting server infrastructure.
• Experience with GraphQL.
• Built, documented, and monitored a Public API platform.
• You maintain or contribute to an open source project.
