PicMonkey is hiring Senior Back end Engineer

#1
Here’s us: a well-loved brand looking for an engineer to work on our backend services, facilitating both our mobile and web platforms. As a small team, every member works across the entire stack from tooling/deployment all the way to HTML/CSS. We like walks in the park and keeping work fun but insanely productive.

Here’s you: hella smart in the DevOps world and while you play well with others, you are also able to take projects from start to completion with minimal direction. You are excited about working with a small but mighty team of engineers who are hammering away at a major delivery in the next few months, where your contributions will be as essential as the Baking Company. ← And that’s a Seattle joke that you get because you already live in the Emerald City.

Here’s how you like to nerd out: • 5+ years commercial software development experience, using Java/Python/Go/PHP/Ruby/similar, and MySQL. • Writing and maintaining Ruby scripts to create and deploy new infrastructure to AWS • Writing and maintaining Chef cookbooks, roles and environments • Building, maintaining, and deploying Java web apps (Spring framework, Hibernate) • Building, maintaining, and deploying JavaScript web apps (Express, WebSockets) • Building, maintaining, and deploying Python web apps (Django) • Honing your skills in advanced database analysis/optimization • Nice to have: experience with payment systems • Nice to have: designing services for mobile clients (and/or building those clients yourself)

We are looking to fill this position immediately. It comes with a competitive salary, full bennies, and endless Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

If this sounds like a match made in heaven, send your resume to jobs.engineer@picmonkey.com
