Backend Engineer II
About The Position
HackerRank helps thousands of companies like OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Amazon hire developers based on their skills vs. pedigree, and also nurtures a community of millions of developers to upskill themselves to become next-gen developers. The people at HackerRank care deeply about their work and have an extremely intense work ethic. In many companies, speed & quality is a tradeoff. At HackerRank, it’s not -- we expect you to ship in about half the time that most competent people think is possible while maintaining a standard of quality you’d proudly sign your name on. The only way to make this happen is if you truly love your craft and are deeply committed to growth. About the role The Integrations Team owns the pipelines that enable data to flow in and out of HackerRank, allowing customers to use HackerRank products from any third-party tool seamlessly. We meet the customers where they are from Applicant Tracking Systems to communication tools such as Slack and Zoom. Integration is a critical part of the business and is one of the many reasons why customers choose HackerRank. Making this seem simple to customers means abstracting away the complexities of making systems talk to each other in a scalable and resilient way, and that wouldn’t be possible without a team of skilled engineers. As a Senior Engineer, you’ll play a technical leadership role in designing, building, and supporting world-class integrations. You’ll break down complex business and product challenges into engineering work, partner closely with peers across teams, and deliver solutions that raise the bar for reliability and excellence.
