Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of relevant professional software engineering experience with a focus on building and architecting RESTful web services
- Extensive experience architecting SaaS software platforms at scale–if you’ve accomplished this with frameworks like Sinatra or Spring, that’s a bonus, but not required
- While we value expertise in any modern language, experience using Ruby, Java or Clojure will help you hit the ground running
- Experience with NoSQL databases–we use MongoDB, and highly value experience with that technology
- Experience building web clients with React.js is a significant plus, but not required for this role
- An entrepreneurial spirit: you’re agile, creative, resourceful, and tenacious as you solve problems and achieve team and company goals
- Comfortable with modern open source technologies and tools
What the job involves
- As a member of the Content Organization and Governance team, you’ll have the opportunity to work on some of the Highspot platform’s most-used features
- Highspot customers leverage features such as spots and lists to organize their content and make it easily findable by reps, and features such as Content Approval and Spot Policy to ensure content which enters Highspot is of the highest quality
- Our work has a direct impact on thousands of customer-facing teams around the globe
- On any given day you’re likely to be architecting a new REST API, analyzing MongoDB query performance, or architecting a new batch job
- Our ideal candidate understands SaaS application architectures deeply, and can partner with engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver the best experience possible to our users
- Act as the technical owner for several mission-critical, customer-facing features. You’ll be responsible for estimating work, assessing system health, and supervising the execution of high-impact features (while contributing alongside)
- Develop clean, reusable, supportable, and well-tested RESTful APIs and web services, and partner with our frontend engineers to ensure these APIs support their needs
- Build, maintain, and analyze MongoDB collections which we either own fully or jointly with other teams
- Support a fleet of batch jobs which we use to accomplish a myriad of tasks, from sending notifications, analyzing usage data, or cleaning-up unused data
- Mentor engineers in your organization, and ensure that our technical documentation and training materials can support efficient development of our features for years to come
