About this role

Engineers on our Account Services team drive work on fundamental & diverse systems impacting customers’ experience across the Polygon.io platform. This includes authentication, authorization, payment, customer telemetry, and API gateway services. All engineers work directly with our Product and Support managers to consistently deliver an industry-leading customer experience. The Account Services team collaborates closely with the Front-End, Market Data, Reference Data, and Infrastructure Platform teams.

Because we are a lean engineering org (<30 people), there are many opportunities to wear multiple hats, lead technology changes, and dive deep into many technologies. The core technologies in the Account Services team include, but are not limited to, Go, Kubernetes, Docker, GitHub Actions, RESTful APIs, gRPC/Protobuf, Kafka, MongoDB, Stripe, and Mailgun.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct timely code and PR reviews.
  • Author comprehensive design docs to communicate upcoming technology changes, customer features, and architecture decisions.
  • You will be responsible for creating cutting-edge software solutions and prioritizing customer care as a core element of your role.

Skills and Qualifications

  • Significant, demonstrable experience with Go.
  • Knowledge of how services are deployed and operated in Kubernetes.
  • 3 or more years of professional experience.
  • Proficient in the English language (both written and verbal). Continuous communication is essential to success in our distributed work environment.
  • Demonstrable ability to understand complex technical and architectural issues and propose iterative solutions to solve those issues.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working with OpenAPI specifications and REST APIs.
  • Experience with gRPC and Protobuf APIs.
  • Experience with platform authentication and authorization technologies and standards (JWTs, OIDC, Open Policy Agent).
