Staff Software Engineer, Platform(Java)

Sprout Social is looking to hire a Staff Software Engineer, Backend to the Engineering team.

With collaborative cross-functional teams that span mobile, front-end, back-end and site reliability engineering—the Sprout Engineering team is a place to sharpen your craft and solve hard problems with the smartest people in the industry. On a daily basis, we process tens of billions of requests and tens of billions of asynchronous events. We also ingest billions of social messages every day, and ship more than 1,000 production deployments every month.

You’ll get to work on a “tech-giant” scale with smaller, supportive teams where every engineer has the chance to make an impact on our company, and our customers. The best part? In our industry, you often have to switch jobs or even companies to learn a new part of a tech stack or business.

But at Sprout, our product is a suite, so you just need to move teams. You’re able to diversify your skills, which not only benefits your team—but also your career.

What you’ll do

Ensure service excellence and maintain robust, scalable technical foundations, leveraging technologies such as Java, Python, MySQL, NSQ, Hbase, AWS, and Kubernetes.

Help lead the team through complex product and technical roadmaps, guiding them to consistently successful outcomes.

Work to improve the processes, systems, and tools we use to deliver quality products and champion technical initiatives and direction.
