We are seeking a talented and critical thinking Backend Engineer to join our team in Los Angeles, CA (El Segundo). This full-time position is designed for an individual who has a strong background in developing web services and can support a highly complex data architecture with robust user permissioning. The ideal candidate will thrive in a hybrid work environment, coming into the office twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) to collaborate with the team and engage in strategic discussions about technology features and solutions. In this role, you will be responsible for working on our internal GraphQL API and extending our microservice approach. You will support the management of our MySQL database and work closely with the Quality Assurance (QA) team to facilitate streamlined API testing and automation through their Postman collections and database seeder. Collaboration with the Director of Technology will be essential as you strategize on tech features, solutions, and architecture. Additionally, you will assist in the web application layer to support feature development and maintain security best practices for web applications, such as those outlined by OWASP. Your contributions will also include helping to expand our external RESTful and Graph APIs, potentially supporting some of our AWS architecture, and at times, maintaining or migrating out of our legacy PHP MVC application. You will develop integrations with partners and third-party API/web services, ensuring that our backend systems are robust and efficient. This position requires a proactive approach to problem-solving and a commitment to delivering high-quality code and solutions.
