Description :

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will act as a technical lead for our core data and marketing platforms. You will own backend architecture and system design, from shaping requirements with product management and business stakeholders through implementation, operation, and continuous improvement.

- Lead Software Development : Design, develop, and deliver a high-quality, high-performance, scalable, and secure software platform that meets defined requirements to support Macromill's business, while accurately estimating development effort.

- Analyze and understand : Dive deep into Macromill's existing legacy systems to understand their architecture, dependencies, and limitations.

- Prioritize Maintainability and Quality : Write clean, well-documented, and maintainable code. Develop comprehensive test code to ensure software quality and contribute to continuous improvement efforts of the codebase.

- Champion Agile Best Practices : Actively participate in an Agile team, contributing to all phases of the development lifecycle.

- Ensure Code Quality : Participate in code reviews for both internal and vendor-developed code, providing constructive feedback and ensuring adherence to coding standards and best practices.
