Job Description

The Technology, Product, Experience (TPX) organization works at the intersection of media and technology and our innovative teams are continually developing and delivering products and next-generation technologies that transform the customer experience.

About the Role:

As a Software Engineering Apprentice working within ISAAC (Integrated Security, Authorization, & Access), you will be responsible for building next generation 'application building blocks' to help other teams with faster delivery of reliable, performant, and scalable software products. In addition to bringing your excitement about software development, commitment to learning, and customer focus, you'll be working with colleagues at all levels and helping us design and deliver next-generation platforms for successful projects. We'll work closely with you to build a plan to increase your skills and experience at an appropriate pace. You can expect to get exposure to our full technical stack while getting mentoring and support from the rest of your team.

The Project:

CodeBig is an API proxying service. It provides rate limiting and authentication services to internal APIs. We've built an in-house solution relying on Open-Source technologies like nginx, React, Node, Lua, and OAuth. CodeBig has been broadly adopted within the company; we support over 2200 services and handle a peak load of over 157,000 requests per second. As you might imagine from those statistics, reliability is a paramount and driving concern for us.

The Team:

We're a supportive, collaborative team that believes in mentoring and supporting all our colleagues. We've adopted lightweight agile processes that we apply to improve the way we all work together.

Preferred qualifications.

Relevant Computer Science coursework, development bootcamp or significant coding experience on any platform plus a love of coding.

Demonstrated ability to learn quickly and teach others.

Extreme curiosity.

Strong problem solving and troubleshooting skills.

History of working both independently and in collaborative teams.

A drive to contribute real value as a member of a team.

Demonstrated experience delivering excellent customer service.

Side projects outside of any coursework or internships.

Familiarity with React.js or Node is most likely to be helpful to the team. Typescript is a definite plus.

We're interested in attracting a diverse set of candidates for this position. If you're not sure if you qualify, please err on the side of applying.

Core Values:

We believe we can deliver excellent service and products without taking ourselves too seriously. It's okay to find joy and humor in our work.

We treat customers as collaborators rather than as tickets to be closed.

We value the curiosity to deeply understand other points of view; understanding more perspectives helps us make better decisions.

We value getting a usable and working solution in front of customers quickly to get feedback so we can iterate and refine over holding out for a perfect solution later.

We value leadership through service; we get ahead by helping others succeed.

We value mistakes as an opportunity to learn. We view all mistakes as owned by the team as a whole, and seek to learn and improve from the mistakes we make.

We value actively and humbly seeking honest feedback.

We value an open and transparent channel of communication with all members of the team, regardless of their title and expertise.

We value context and responsibility over management approval and supervision.

We value diversity of opinion over group consensus.

We value using good enough open source software over perfect commercial software.

We value attitude over aptitude; no genius jerks allowed.

We value making decisions with research and reason over tradition or fear; we are fans of the scientific method.

During technical discussions, no one has a title.

We value being able to pursue a plan together over everyone agreeing that the plan is the best one.

We happily teach others the things we have learned.

We recognize that discrimination exists throughout our society in structural ways. We seek to build systems that are inclusive and avoid using hurtful language.

Responsibilities:

Writing tested, production-ready application code.

Pairing and collaborating with peers.

Writing appropriate levels of documentation.

Participating in joint design and architecture sessions.

Building effective deployment and monitoring systems.

Operating and supporting production environments (including on-call support).

Performing code reviews.
