Software Development Engineer II, Tez
DESCRIPTION
We are from India Grocery and Everyday Essentials team. We are working on a grounds up initiative for an upcoming and fast growing e-commerce space in India. We are developing a completely brand new e-commerce experience using client side rendering frameworks based on ReactJS and powered by multiple backend services being developed grounds up. The new user experience will span across entire lifecycle of e-commerce shopping journey from storefront, ordering and delivery experience.
For this Greenfield initiative, you'll be working alongside a talented and collaborative team made of Sr. SDEs, Sr. FEEs, PEs and will be a great opportunity for learning, growing and building industry leading shopping experience from scratch..
Key job responsibilities
- You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices.
- You work with your team to invent, design and build software that is stable and performant.
- You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them (and when it is not). Your solutions are pragmatic.
- You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand.
- You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity).
- You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies.
- You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc.)
- You work on project ideas with customers, stakeholders, and peers
