Nuuly is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our Technology team. Building performant scalable cloud service environments is hard. Nuuly knows this firsthand, having built a cloud-based microservices platform from the ground up to power our online customer experience and drive the logistics and processing of our garment distribution centers. We're looking for a Senior Engineer with the initiative and expertise to help mature this platform into a stable, scalable, and robust backbone for launching the next wave of Nuuly innovations.

You'll need strong experience designing and building microservices backed by relational and non-relational databases. Solid confidence with JVM-based tools such as Kotlin, Spring, and data persistence with Postgres and other database technologies. You’ll also need a reasonable amount of aptitude in designing and integrating Kubernetes services with cloud-based platform APIs such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), AWS, or Azure focused on driving toward zero-downtime deployments.

As a Senior Engineer, you'll bring experience that extends beyond personal code contribution: leading design for moderately complex features, driving communication between teams, providing critical feedback, coordinating with others, and providing mentorship as needed. You'll participate in incident response and post-mortem processes to improve system reliability. You should be adept at picking up new technologies and patterns and comfortable discussing and debating the pros and cons of various approaches. Most of all, you should be ready and willing to tackle new challenges with a supportive team of creative and hard-working professionals.
