Senior Software Engineer at Pangaea

The Role

• We're looking for someone to lead the design and architecture of building our new E-commerce Platform.
• This platform will handle e-commerce tools, tax/duty calculations, subscription management, and storefront capabilities for our own internal brands for millions of visitors a year.

Responsibilities

• You will be responsible for pushing tasks, making technical decisions and writing maintainable, good-quality code. The scope of the features that you will work on may change on a monthly basis depending on the priorities of the team. You will be expected to have a thorough understanding of web applications, back-end architecture and well-designed schema structures. 
• You will work closely with the Product Manager of the team to understand technical tasks that need to be pushed. A successful candidate should be able to work with other engineers on the team and should oversee that the technical velocity + code quality are properly balanced throughout the building phase of the project. You will be working closely with the Head of Engineering to collaborate on technical decisions but also on the team’s morale and hiring needs. 
• We are a big fan of product-minded engineers who can tackle problems without the need for overly scoped out guidelines. We love engineers who put importance to the value of the features that are being built, and a successful candidate should not only be able to execute the project scope given but also ideate with the product owners & engineers on the team. While technical ability is very important to engineers at Pangaea, we expect this role to also be a team lead whose responsibilities often extend beyond purely technical ownership.
