Full-Stack Software Engineer

Who you are

• You have seen a lot and built a lot compared to your peers. You have personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch and you know what trade offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed
• You want your work to have a tangible outcome for people. You're not satisfied when building products that do not see the light of day or move a number by a tenth of a percent
• You enjoy all aspects of building not only software but a complete product and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You enjoy problem solving and thinking from first principles. You’re ready to pick up new skills and build quickly
• You're happy to tackle problems without a predefined clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have autonomy to make decisions as you go
• You understand that being a member of a high-performing team requires two things. You contribute your best work. You also help others contribute their best. You enjoy lending a helping hand when needed and levelling up those around you
• It is okay to not meet all requirements listed as we are looking for individuals who are passionate, eager to learn

• Scale and simplicity: You will tackle complex domains and immense scale with simple solutions. You'll leverage your expertise to solve challenging problems in simple ways
• We are technology agnostic at Encord. We are not looking for you to have experience in all these technologies. As long as you're open to learning, please apply
