atVenu Senior Software Developers are considered masters of their specific domain, capable of owning technical design for projects of moderate complexity. They understand the trade-offs in creating solutions for the problem at hand. They are expert trouble-shooters within their area of expertise. While they are individual contributors, they are considered leaders within the organization who identify technical issues/opportunities across products/teams, while also mentoring more junior developers. Senior developers are also capable of securing cross-team buy-in for their solutions and manage projects to make solutions come to life.
You Will:

• Deliver high-value projects with no direct supervision, but through collaboration with our senior staff who may validate new ideas, test assumptions and ensure you have ongoing mentorship.
• Own the technical design for projects of moderate complexity.
• Architect services and systems using accepted design patterns that allow for iterative, autonomous development and future scaling.
• Proactively identify technical debt before it turns into a long-term problem while balancing the effort/reward of corrective action; will encourage team to do the same.
• Anticipate future use cases and make design decisions that minimize the cost of future changes.
• Be considered the expert trouble-shooter within your domain of expertise.
• Provide mentorship to others in all areas of software development, including how to be an amazing team member.
• Sit on architecture review boards; may be asked to provide feedback on projects outside your area.

You Should Have:

• 8+ years development experience, with emphasis on backend web server development, specifically Ruby on Rails, ORM libraries (ActiveRecord), PostgreSQL, and GraphQL.
• Experience working with large datasets and performance sensitive code.
• Experience with optimizing backend APIs and data with an interest in developing your experience in this area.
• Experience with api design and best practices.
• Proven ability to trouble-shoot complex technical problems and participate in code/architecture reviews.
• A high level of comfort using/adapting to different programming languages; you figure the languages out independently and quickly.

• Excellent team player: able to work across teams, acting as a leader when required.
• Capable of managing conflict independently, leaving everyone involved feeling heard and respected.
