As a Senior Software Engineer engineer on the Developer Productivity - Async team, you will work on improving developer productivity by enhancing the tools and systems used by product engineers. You will focus on asynchronous processing, ensuring that our applications are efficient, reliable, and scalable. Your work will involve maintaining and improving the infrastructure that supports background jobs and asynchronous communication between our applications using technologies such as Sidekiq and Karafka. Identify and solve inefficiencies in the tooling, APIs, and feedback mechanisms available to product engineers to improve developer productivity. Design, pitch, plan, measure, and implement solutions iteratively. Collaborate closely with product engineering colleagues to anticipate and address upcoming changes. Develop and maintain services, abstractions, and architecture to support product engineering. Advance the use of Kafka and Sidekiq for asynchronous processing and communication for the growing number of applications at Gusto. Harden the async infrastructure to be resilient in the face of heavy loads across a wide variety of use cases.
