Requirements
• 6+ years of backend software engineering experience • Strong experience building distributed systems at scale • Experience designing resilient APIs and microservice architectures • Deep understanding of concurrency, asynchronous processing and event-driven systems • Experience building high-throughput, low-latency backend services • Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and modern backend infrastructure • Experience designing observable, resilient and fault-tolerant systems • Comfortable making architectural decisions in fast-moving environments • We build much of our platform in Elixir, taking advantage of its strengths for highly concurrent, distributed systems. Experience with Elixir is a bonus—not a requirement. If you've built scalable backend systems in Java, Kotlin, Go, Node.js or Python and enjoy learning new technologies, we'd love to hear from you. • You'll thrive if you enjoy solving difficult distributed systems problems, taking ownership of platform architecture and building technology that operates at truly global scale. • The above list of job duties is not exclusive or exhaustive and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post. • Subject to applicable laws, Fanatics Collectibles may choose to run a background check. • Ensure your Fanatics job offer is legitimate and don’t fall victim to fraud. Fanatics never seeks payment from job applicants. Feel free to ask your recruiter for a phone call or other type of communication for interview, and ensure your communication is coming from a Fanatics email address (including @collectfanatics.com). For added security, where possible, apply through our company website at www.fanaticsinc.com/careers • By submitting your application, you agree to our terms of service and acknowledge you have read our Candidate Privacy Policy.
