About the role
- Staff Backend Software Engineer - Monetization Platform Team
- Customers rely on our usage data to understand their spend, forecast costs, and make purchasing decisions.
Responsibilities
- Design, ship, and own billing infrastructure, usage APIs, and backend services, from technical proposal and design docs through implementation, testing, production rollout, and on-call support.
- Partner with a diverse set of stakeholders across engineering, product, business systems, and billing to align on requirements and deliver impactful solutions.
- Develop design and architecture documents as a way of collaborating across groups in the design of new systems and APIs.
- Consider stability, performance, and scalability in your designs and in the guidance you provide to the team.
- 5+ years building systems that collect, aggregate, and derive insights from large datasets. You've shipped a forecasting or reporting feature that real stakeholders depended on and you've had to explain why the numbers were wrong.
- You drive projects, not just tasks. You've owned a multi-week effort end-to-end: design doc through post-launch.
- You design for the people downstream of your data.
- You've been the reason someone's numbers were wrong, and you've carried that into how you build now.
- Fastly works hard to create a positive environment for our employees, and we think your life outside of work is important too.
- Not only do our customers have a tremendous user base, but we also support a growing number of open source projects and initiatives.
Requirements
- You can name a metric you added that paid off - and one you'd delete now.
- A fully completed application and resume or CV are required when applying.
- All job applications must be submitted through our official careers site at www.fastly.com/about/careers.
