Requirements

Candidates must have 5+ years of experience as a backend engineer with a Bachelor's degree, or 3 years of experience with an advanced degree; 8 years of relevant experience may suffice in lieu of a degree. Experience building scalable software platforms, developing in Java, working within Cloud environments (AWS preferred), using SQL, and with Microservices architecture and distributed systems is required. The ability to make technical trade-offs, navigate technical complexities, troubleshoot production issues, decompose business problems into solutions, build correct and maintainable software components, focus on quality and meeting deadlines, communicate clearly, share relevant information including trade-offs, and work with cross-functional stakeholders is essential. Nice-to-have qualifications include experience with payments or the FinTech space, AWS technologies, and software delivery pipelines (CI/CD, Kubernetes, Docker).

Responsibilities

Senior Backend Software Engineers will develop scalable software powering Marqeta's backend services, create and review engineering design documentation, and continuously improve systems, infrastructure, and processes. They will create features, review code, and collaborate with diverse stakeholders. Responsibilities include defining and delivering well-scoped project milestones, potentially acting as a technical lead, and keeping customer needs in mind to deliver value quickly. Engineers will mentor less-experienced team members, write clear and maintainable code, identify and propose solutions for gaps, challenge the status quo with innovative ideas, lead and participate in software design for components and features, and have significant ownership of system components. Participation in rotational on-call pager duty is also a required responsibility.
