Job Description
- What We Do: Our charter: "We take the data from the customers, and put it in the products." We build centralized data ingestion tools for all PayScale products to use. This takes many forms: from automated connections to other human resource information systems, SFTP file drops, or user uploads.
What You Do: You will be the 6th member of a highly collaborative team distributed in three locations nationwide that have been working remotely together for well over a year. You will maintain strong engineering practices by writing unit and integration tests. You will collaborate with product owners and engineering managers to develop the feature set, schedule, and roadmap.
- Day-in-the-Life: As a Software Engineer II, a typical day may include the following…
- A daily Agile/Scrum standup to check-in with the team.
- A weekly pair coding session with one or more teammates to help spread knowledge, work through a solution, or debug issues.--
- Working with internal users who use our ingestion products to help automate their processes and identify product improvements.
- Researching and learning about cutting edge tools like Kubernetes to build fast, reliable data ingestion for our customers.
- Do you like asking questions, solving problems and thinking critically? You'll like it here.
