Description
Senior Backend Engineers at Raya love building and operating server software and have been recognized as leaders in past roles. The ideal candidate will have had 6+ years of experience and grown within their organization, demonstrating both results and leadership. You will join the Core Discovery team at an impactful time of high growth. Core Discovery owns how members discover people and places: our Maps and Location surfaces and our Directory search. Maps is our near-term focus, so we are especially excited about engineers who have built location-based systems and want to own that domain end to end. We prioritize learning and teamwork and love giving people the opportunity to champion solutions to big challenges and grow into better versions of themselves. A great candidate is excited to support the backend team's initiatives. They are diligent and they design software architecture in a scalable manner. Finally, they believe in Raya's vision, which is to enrich lives by fostering relationships through quality, in person interactions. We offer comprehensive medical and dental coverage, $50 a day food delivery budget, equity based employment, a great culture, learning opportunities, unlimited vacation, 12 weeks paid parental leave, and we pay all employees $1,000 a year to go somewhere in the world that they've never been because of our values of human connection, empathy, and curiosity.
