The opportunity:

You will be joining a remote team of passionate engineers reporting into one of our engineering leaders.

Parsley Health is an outcome-driven organization and your work will directly contribute to the company objectives by building delightful digital experiences for Parsley members using analytical tools.

We work in a blameless environment and we take ownership and pride in our efforts. We prefer to work in small, cross-functional product pods where each pod owns the development lifecycle of their products. We follow agile development practices and encourage each pod to tailor the processes to their needs. Our teams are built on pillars of trust, humility and continuous improvement.

  • Managed Postgres with Cloud SQL.
  • Datadog handles our metrics, Sentry logs exceptions.

About You:

You appreciate the challenge of building reliable, secure, complex systems. You prefer working with typed languages for the reliability they offer.

You love writing tests, care about code quality and enjoy keeping up-to-date on industry best practices. While you can't imagine writing a modern application without the cloud, you have a healthy appreciation for the many ways in which distributed systems may fail. You're always thinking beyond the scope of the current project, and about the larger product vision.

  • 5+ years work experience as a backend software engineer.
  • Experience with event stream processing.
  • Strong knowledge of Google Cloud / AWS / cloud-centric architecture and design patterns.
