sensor-tower - Junior Back End Engineer

• You don’t need to know everything on day one. We value potential, curiosity, and a strong foundation. • Preferred: Knowledge of Ruby on Rails and the broader Ruby ecosystem is a large plus. Alternatively, demonstrated proficiency in Python or similar languages, with a willingness to cross-train in Ruby, is acceptable. • Nice-to-have: Experience with Clickhouse or other OLAP databases; MongoDB or other document stores; Sidekiq or other asynchronous task runners. • Technical Foundation: A strong grasp of algorithms, RESTful systems, and API design. Experience with data analysis and data pipelining is ideal. • Github/Portfolio: A portfolio of meaningful Github contributions, open-source work, or interesting personal projects that demonstrate you can build working software. • Curiosity & Drive: A proactive approach to digging into sources yourself rather than relying on second-hand information, and an eagerness to understand why a project is valuable before you start coding. • Interest in backend systems and working with data. • Eagerness to learn and ask questions. • Strong communication and collaboration skills • What You'll Get • Mentorship from senior engineers. • Real ownership of features (not just small tasks). • Exposure to large-scale production systems. • Collaborative culture. • Opportunities to grow and learn new things. • Read more about some of our Technical challenges here (written by members of our engineering team): • https://sensortower.com/blog/speeding-up-the-backend-with-graph-theory • https://sensortower.com/blog/how-we-scaled-to-thousands-of-sidekiq-workers • It's common for scammers to create positions that look legitimate on other sites.
