Hi, welcome to the opening paragraphs which are defined in Settings -> Job Site. We'll show this in a moment.
Own improvements to existing services as Lever scales to increasing usage and increasingly large enterprise accounts. Identify and anticipate performance bottlenecks across all Lever services and applications. Establish best practices, bridging between platform and product engineering.
Backend engineering is part of Lever's small platform engineering team that works directly with our CTO. Backend engineers improve the overall performance, reliability, and ability to measure existing systems. They collaborate with the product engineering team, who own full stack implementation of new features.
You will be able to teach peers patterns and best practices for production systems learned in previous roles as well as those gained from a broad understanding of Lever systems. At the same time, you'll learn from the unique challenges operating a large scale realtime, eventually consistent data model. Our applications are powered by ShareDB, our distributed realtime application backend. ShareDB syncs all data via Operational Transformation, the same algorithm that powers Google Docs.
Improve user experience and engagement via performance and reliability improvements, help product engineering to continue focusing on feature innovation and product differentiation, and level up in a broad range of technical and communication skills.
