At Wave, we help small businesses to thrive so the heart of our communities beats stronger. We work in an environment buzzing with creative energy and inspiration. No matter where you are or how you get the job done, you have what you need to be successful and connected. The mark of true success at Wave is the ability to be bold, learn quickly and share your knowledge generously.
You will design, build, and maintain Wave’s backend ecosystem and reusable software stack. As a Software Engineer II on the backend platform team, you define the Golden Path for frameworks and communication. You go beyond immediate tasks to understand underlying business objectives, delivering high-quality functionality while consistently improving the surrounding codebase and creating technical clarity amidst ambiguity.
Here's How You Make an Impact:
- Standardize Core Components: Maintain a single, recommended pattern for web frameworks, container images, and data gateways to ensure consistency and security across the organization.
- Streamline System Communication: Architect and refine frameworks used for both real-time and background messaging to ensure data flows efficiently and reliably between services.
- Build Developer-Centric Wrappers: Create sophisticated libraries that wrap common components, making them easy to integrate while preserving the configurability and debug-ability developers require.
- Deliver and Enhance Code: Execute required functionality while proactively identifying and improving surrounding code to reduce technical debt and strengthen the overall ecosystem.
- Evaluate Technical Approaches: Propose multiple solutions to complex problems, performing the necessary research to weigh pros and cons before committing to an implementation.
- Resolve Technical Ambiguity: Drive clarity for assigned tasks by performing independent research and outreach, delivering high-quality results with minimal support on well-defined objectives.
