processes to support deployments as soon as changes are ready

·       Work on a major ongoing architecture overhaul that affects all
services, infrastructure, and supporting processes

·       Regularly review other engineer’s work to maintain consistency and
raise the performance of everyone on the team

·       Manage the production operations of the services your team owns and
incorporate changes into the current development to improve operations

·       Demonstrate commitment to our core competencies of being authentic,
curious, creative, empathetic and outcome oriented



 **About you:**

·       Solid programming background and a passion for writing code; you are
eager to learn more and enjoy providing and receiving critical feedback

·       Advanced programming experience in multiple programming languages (
Java, Kotlin, Groovy/Grails, JavaScript/TypeScript or Python) along with
Clojure/ClojureScript or another functional programming language

·       Knowledge and experience with different programming paradigms such as
functional programming, object oriented, and declarative programming

·       Advanced experience in building out pipelines using infrastructure-as-
code tools such as AWS CDK, TerraForm

·       Experience with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Ember,
[Vue.js](http://Vue.js), or AngularJS

·       Solid knowledge of key value stores, SQL, and relational databases,
preferably MySQL

·       Have a great understanding of the value of automated tests, and
ability to implement them across the whole stack

·       Solid understanding of working in Linux shells

·       Ability to collaborate with designers, product owners, and other
cross-functional team members

·       Experience working across the full stack, from user experience, to API
design, to infrastructure

claims processing, enrollment, etc.)

·       Experience with Docker and containerized environments

·       Experience with Serverless technologies and AWS Lambda

·       Experience with client side unidirectional data flow patterns

·       Previous startup company experience

the special sauce that sets our compensation package apart. In addition to
standard benefits, Gravie’s package includes alternative medicine coverage,
flexible PTO, 16 weeks paid parental leave, paid holidays, cell phone
reimbursement, education reimbursement, and 1 week of paid paw-ternity leave
just to name a few.
