Software Development Engineer II

Job description
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Development Engineer (SDE II) to join our Retail Integration Merchant experience team in the Just Walk Out organization. As an autonomous contributor, you will work independently and with your team to invent, design, and build software that is stable and performant.

You will be proficient in a broad range of frontend (web apps), backend (AWS services), and low-level system technologies and design approaches. You will consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that any SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand.

You will create flexible software without over-engineering and making appropriate trade-offs, reuse where possible, and be cautious about introducing dependencies. You will keep costs in mind when proposing solutions and help your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and ticket/metric/COE reviews.

You will focus on operational excellence, constructively identifying problems, and proposing solutions. You will also train new teammates on how to develop the team's software, how to operate it, how to secure it, and how to fit it in the bigger picture.
