The Role

You will:

• Build out new features and products to help our customers deliver best-in-class e-commerce technology.
• Work on server-side development and optimization of data, including database creation and management and debugging.
• Build the alerting, testing, tooling, and QA processes needed to make maintenance of external dependencies easy.
• Improve the core systems that we use in order to build integrations in order to help Rutter become a first-in-class universal API.

You are:

• A software engineer with 4+ years of professional experience in back end services

3. Experience working with remote teams across different time zones

What you'll get:

• A stipend to buy your laptop and set up your home office

Rutter believes that diversity and inclusion enrich our workplace, so we are committed to hiring talented individuals with diverse backgrounds for our roles, including qualified applicants with prior arrest or conviction records in accordance with local, state, and/or federal laws, including the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.
