Position Overview
Particle is hiring a Cloud Software Engineer knowledgeable about AWS and Javascript to work on the Node.js backend services that power the Particle Device Cloud. You will build, deploy, test, scale and monitor a suite of event-driven microservices that process and store data within the Particle Data Platform.
You will:

• Develop, Test and Deploy Backend Services. We are aggressively expanding the capabilities of the Particle Device Cloud to process and store more data. You will be a big part of this solution, writing code and developing products/features for the back-end parts of Particle's cloud platform. We are a product driven, agile shop and most of your time will be spent contributing to backend services, working with large real time data sets and event streaming based on product requirements developed by Particle's Product Management team.
• Ensure the performance, reliability and security of backend applications. Scalability and observability is key to ensure the health of our distributed systems - our event pipeline runs around 60B events a month, sourced from our customers' devices. You will be involved in designing resilient distributed systems to handle that load, and you will participate in triaging issues and work to resolve issues by order of priority when they occur. You will update dependencies to maintain the application up to date and you will collaborate with the security team to respond to security vulnerability reports.
• Design the future of the Particle Cloud. You will collaborate with the Product team to execute on the product roadmap, turning product requirements into software designs. You will work with Engineering leadership to plan feature and maintenance work on a quarterly basis. We plan our own work for 2 week agile sprints and ship a major update every 6 weeks.
• Work daily with a global team. You'll be working daily with a global team of engineers, designers and product managers - we love to pair program as well as have ad hoc hangouts during the day to ensure we are unblocked. We focus on excellent written and oral technical communication at Particle from code reviews through to specifications and architecture documentation and you will participate in this on a regular basis.

You have:

• A deep understanding of AWS event-driven computing (Lambda, SQS, Kinesis)
• 3+ years of experience working with JavaScript with strong emphasis on Node.js and Typescript
• Developed and deployed microservices in production
• Experience with NoSQL databases like DynamoDB, MongoDB and Redis as well as SQL syntax, RDBMSs like PostgreSQL
