Business Platform Experience (BPX)
The Business Platform Experience (BPX) team builds the B2B ecosystem that real estate agencies and agents use every day. We provide the tools that help them create, manage, and promote listings. We also power deep integrations with external CRMs and enterprise systems through our Enterprise APIs.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of professional Go experience delivering production services.
- Strong hands‑on AWS skills with Kinesis, SQS, SNS, and DynamoDB in real projects.
- Solid event‑driven architecture experience (message semantics, ordering, deduplication, replay, DLQs).
- Proven integration testing practice; awareness of Testing Trophy/Honeycomb testing strategies and when to favor integration over unit tests.
- Experience with E2E testing of UI flows (e.g., Playwright) to validate contract correctness across services.
- Practical observability: metrics, logs, tracing; Grafana or similar toolinh is a must (dashboards, alerting, SLOs).
- Working knowledge of containers and CI/CD (Docker; familiarity with IaC like Terraform/CloudFormation is a plus).
- Soft skills that matter: autonomous, passionate, consistent performer; able to drive change and communicate with stakeholders directly when needed.
- Exposure to TypeScript + React (understanding FE needs, building small tools or mocks).
Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain Go microservices on AWS using event‑driven patterns (pub/sub, fan‑out, outbox) with Kinesis, SQS/SNS, and DynamoDB.
- Establish pragmatic testing strategies with a strong focus on integration tests; apply Testing Trophy/Honeycomb principles; contribute E2E specs where relevant (Playwright).
- Instrument services with metrics, logs, and traces; build actionable Grafana dashboards and alerts to keep SLIs/SLOs green.
- Collaborate closely with the existing Backend team and Frontend engineers to define APIs, schemas, and event contracts that make UI work simple and robust.
- Document designs and decisions and communicate clearly with stakeholders when trade‑offs or changes are needed.
- Contribute to a culture of autonomy, ownership, and continuous improvement; propose and lead small, high‑leverage changes.
