Software Engineer, Backend

Kikoff

<div>
 Looking for an experienced backend engineer with expert knowledge in Rails and AWS. You will be responsible for core product contributions, rapid-prototyping, and production-level concerns including infrastructure and security.
 
 
 As a backend engineer of a fast-growing fintech startup you are going to move the needle, but it will require a split personality: Your Dr. Jekyll leans towards correctness, tight testing, and advancing the mental constructs of the organization with a series of logical hypotheses and tests; your Hyde-side is one that focuses on brutal prioritization in a sea of possibilities, good-enough testing for a code base that must be deliberately but also organically grown, and the understanding that systems must serve people, not the other way around.
 
 
 Our mission is to create fair, effective, and simple financial pathways to help 100M Americans reach their financial goals. Investors include Lightspeed, Coatue and GGV. Founders are serial entrepreneurs who co-founded and served as C-suite executives at 3 FinTech unicorns.
 
 
 
 Requirements
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 B.A. / B.S. / M.S. or strong self-taught fundamentals in computer science
 </li>
 <li>
 Preferred, but not required, experience in Rails
 </li>
 <li>
 4+ years of industry experience, with demonstrated breadth and depth of product impact
 </li>
 <li>
 Ability to analyze data and distill information for business purposes
 </li>
 <li>
 Effectiveness as demonstrated by problem-solving skills in areas outside your expertise
 </li>
 <li>
 Desire to form strong professional bonds with startup-forward coworkers
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 What We&rsquo;re Like
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Scrappy. We had a product goal and put out the MVP, collecting our first users with steady growth via paid channels in four months. We don&rsquo;t cut corners when we know we&rsquo;ll need them but we don&rsquo;t build things without that need. We don&rsquo;t like inefficiency but we dislike operationalizing one-off tasks even more.
 </li>
 <li>
 Risk-oriented. Everything has risk, but a mature team knows how to make these tradeoffs. That&rsquo;s why we built the MVP fast&ndash;&ndash;because time is your most valuable asset and is practically fungible with money in the startup world.
 </li>
 <li>
 Data-obsessed. We all look at data and pull it, and we believe that understanding the mechanics can yield valuable insights. Complex systems require elegant, not just simple solutions. You absolutely need to be interested in data if you want to leverage your knowledge of systems.
 </li>
 <li>
 Lucky. That&rsquo;s how we look at this journey so far. From our timing of fundraising, to the circumstances in which we came together, to the initial product traction we&rsquo;re getting, there&rsquo;s no other word to describe it. We are grateful you are reading this, and we know that if you&rsquo;re meant to be with us on this journey, then we will see you soon.

 About DoorDash
 
 
 
 At DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users&mdash;from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. We are a technology and logistics company that started with door-to-door delivery, and we are looking for team members who can help us go from a company that is known for delivering food to a company that people turn to for any and all goods.
 
 
 DoorDash is growing rapidly and changing constantly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We're committed to supporting employees&rsquo; happiness, healthiness, and overall well-being by providing comprehensive benefits and perks including premium healthcare, wellness expense reimbursement, paid parental leave and more.

 We&rsquo;re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That&rsquo;s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
