Our commitment to technology, top-notch customer service, and a profound understanding of the automotive market sets us apart.

The Role

The auto parts industry needs a change.  RevolutionParts is dedicated to modernizing the auto industry through our parts e-commerce platform. And we are pretty great at it too! We have enabled thousands of dealerships to sell auto parts online by transforming the way buyers and sellers connect.

And not only are we dedicated to revolutionizing the auto industry; we are also passionate about building a revolutionary team. Our Revolutionaries (as we call ourselves) are talented humans who have a shared goal of delivering an exceptional product and customer experience. 

Do you like to get creative to solve tech challenges?  As a Staff Engineer, you will provide technical leadership (not people leadership!) while building end-to-end features and services that directly impact our users daily. At RevolutionParts, seniority comes with a level of expectation plus accountability. This role is defined by hands-on individual contribution, paired with architectural decision-making, mentorship, and ownership for technical decision-making. A clear understanding of the trade-offs that need to be considered when building enterprise software is essential. 

Initially, you will own the design, build, and maintenance of APIs, backend services, and distributed systems. Over time, you will contribute to a range of initiatives on our roadmap that directly impact the business.   Though people management is not necessarily a part of the job, we do expect you to lead other Revolutionaries by example.  Use your expertise to improve engineering standards, live best practices, advocate for quality in engineering, and create processes that enable the team to continue to build world-class software for an industry in need of change.

• Look for ways to mentor, direct, guide, and nurture Revolutionaries to help them attain personal goals while delivering technical innovation and business value
