Remote Job
We’re shaping the future of living, and we want you to be part of that journey.
We are looking for a backend Software Engineer to join our Engineering team. The person in this role will work on the core services of one of several high-impact product initiatives we'll be launching in 2023. They will do so with a well-established development methodology, a robust CI pipeline, solid engineering practices, and challenging requirements.
Our code sits on Github, is integrated through Jenkins pipelines, and runs on AWS EC2 & Lambda.
What to expect at the technical interview?
You will be called to have a long discussion with your future team members. This discussion will cover many things from CS fundamentals to the latest coding trends. So we encourage you to do a quick refresh on topics like data structures, algos, and runtime complexity as well as core concepts of your primary language (e.g. Java or Python). We will also try to tackle some real-world software design problems together as we do every other day. It may sound scary but it's really not. We want you to succeed.
At Blueground we are proud to have Diversity and Inclusion at the centre of everything we do. We are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity regardless of race, colour, national origin, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion.
