If so, we’d love to talk to you!About the team:
Buyer Experience is a global team responsible for the suite of user experiences for eBay and the underlying platforms that run them. You will be part of a team responsible for building out the newest eBay experience -- live shopping platform: eBay Live. Live shopping naturally fits into the eBay ethos -- focused largely on unique items, collectibles and fashion, and enabling direct communication between buyers and sellers. This is a relatively new trend in the US and Europe, growing quickly, and is already broadly established in APAC.
We are looking to hire a passionate, collaborative and motivated Backend Software Engineer, who will help us develop and evolve eBay Live to be a market leader in live shopping and become a key part of the global eBay platform.
Responsibilities:
You will be a member of our core engineering team, focused on developing a variety of services and experiences for both buyer and seller experiences of eBay Live.
• Collaborate closely with peers, product managers, business analysts and operations teams to develop innovative solutions that meet functional and non-functional standards and expectations. We greatly value ownership and initiative, and follow core agile principles, without the dogma
• Work across multiple eBay domains
• Be involved in the entire development process -- from design to release, actively participate in code and ADR reviews and help the team build the forward-looking, modern platform
• Triage and debug production issues
• Mentor junior team members
Job Requirements:
• BS/BA in Computer Science or related field or 10 years of relevant experience
• Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and analytical skills -- but of course
• Thorough understanding of software development processes and best practices, modern DevOps principles and continuous delivery
• Proven experience in building large, reliable, scalable distributed systems
• Strong experience with modern programming languages. Java is a must (experience (or at least interest) with Scala is a big plus)
• Strong experience with core web technologies
• Proven experience in architecting scalable backend systems
• Hands on experience with GraphQL is a big plus
• Past experience with live commerce is a big plus
• Experience with web (javascript/nodejs) and/or native (Android, iOS) is a plus
The base pay range for this position is expected in the range below:
$190,400 - $254,200
Base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including location, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements, including a target bonus and restricted stock units (as applicable) in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits (including 401(k) eligibility and various paid time off benefits, such as PTO and parental leave). Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.
If hired, employees will be in an “at-will position” and the Company reserves the right to modify base salary (as well as any other discretionary payment or compensation program) at any time, including for reasons related to individual performance, Company or individual department/team performance, and market factors.
