• Work across our full stack, primarily in Typescript, React, GraphQL, and Go.
• Collaborate with product, UX design, and other technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Drive and support the team in operational excellence.
• Drive architecture for complex systems by determining current limitations and working with the team and peers across Product Engineering to come up with solutions.
• Ideate, design and implement Growth experiments across the product surface area, while being a champion for data-driven experimentation for other Product Engineering teams.

What You’ll Add to DigitalOcean:

• Bachelor and/or Master Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in a fast-paced, high growth tech environment building customer-facing products and features as a Fullstack Software Engineer.
• Strong candidates will have 2+ years of experience working in a Growth-oriented team, and have experience designing and implementing data-driven growth experiments in addition to building product features.
• Deep foundational experience of modern full stack development technologies like Javascript/Typescript, React, Node.js, GraphQL, Go, and Python.
• Able to make effective trade-offs in regards to both engineering and product requirements, while balancing short term and long term needs.
• Strong analytical and data interpretation skills, with experience in metrics-driven decision making and A/B testing.
• Experience with distributed systems and how to scale them is nice to have.
• Prior demonstrated experience contributing to systems, platforms and products owned by multiple engineering teams is a bonus.
• Demonstrated design, UX and product sensibilities and an affinity for wearing the customer’s shoes.
