## Job description

Sprout Social is looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer to the Engineering team located in Kraków.

Why join Sprout’s Engineering team?

With collaborative cross-functional teams that span front-end, back-end and site reliability engineering—the Sprout Engineering team is a place to sharpen your craft and solve hard problems with the smartest people in the industry. On a daily basis, we process tens of billions of requests and tens of billions of asynchronous events. We also ingest billions of social messages every day, and ship more than 1,000 production deployments every month. You’ll get to work on a “tech-giant” scale with smaller, supportive teams where every engineer has the chance to make an impact on our company, and our customers. The best part? In our industry, you often have to switch jobs or even companies to learn a new part of a tech stack or business. But at Sprout, our product is a suite, so you just need to move teams. You’re able to diversify your skills, which not only benefits your team—but also your career.

## What you’ll do

- Ensure we build, scale, ship, and monitor our platform reliably, leveraging technologies such as Scala, Python, MySQL, Clickhouse, Redis, Kafka, Qdrant, Solr.
- Partner with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define requirements and complete feature work.
- Work to improve the processes, systems, and tools we use to deliver quality products and champion technical initiatives and direction.
- Uphold project quality and planning through meeting deadlines, breaking down work, and ensuring proper testing and monitoring
- Lift the skills of other engineers through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and providing feedback on PRs and technical designs.

## What you’ll bring

We’re looking for a creative, collaborative, highly motivated, and inquisitive learner to help us deliver a great product to our customers. If you’re passionate about building and scaling reliable systems, we’d love to talk with you!

These are the minimum qualifications that our hiring team is looking for in this role:

- 4 years experience developing and supporting software in a production environment
- 3 years experience programming in object oriented languages such as Scala or other JVM languages,
- 3 years experience with functional programming paradigms and ecosystems (e.g., Scala Cats, ZIO)
- Professional English proficiency in verbal and written communication
- Based in or near Kraków, with occasional availability to work from the office

Additionally, these are the preferred qualifications that would indicate a particularly strong candidate:

- 3 years experience developing and supporting scalable, distributed backend services
- 3 years experience working with SQL databases and relational databases,
- Professional Polish proficiency in verbal and written communication

Within 1 month, you will:

- Experience Sprout’s in-depth onboarding, covering everything from our company mission and values, hearing directly from executives and founders, to deep training on our products and the value that Sprout delivers to our customers.
- Make a plan with your manager to set initial priorities, align on expectations for your role, plant goalposts for your career, and learn about Sprout’s approach to engineering.
- Learn how code is deployed to our end users through collaboration with engineers on your team.
- Collaborate regularly with your product manager, product designer and fellow engineers to deliver value to our users.
- Get regular team feedback on your code through code reviews.
- Deliver business value by shipping your first code change with active pairing/mentoring from your teammates.

Within 3 months, you will:

- Focus on code quality with meaningful test coverage and legibility.
- Have a firm understanding of the team’s roadmap and the team’s Agile processes.
- Contribute to our Agile culture of continuous improvement through retrospective meetings and experimentation-oriented thinking.
- Build connections with members from other teams through active networking and community building
- Attend technical design meetings with your teammates to walk through new feature ideas.
- Maintain and build upon systems that handle hundreds of thousands of messages a day.
- Build your engineering skills by attending in-house presentations, workshops, and training sessions.

Within 6 months, you will:

- Independently own and deliver stories with peer consultation given user acceptance criteria and visual mockups.
- Work with your product manager and fellow engineers to create and prioritize quarterly team goals.
- Collaborate with product managers, product designers, and engineers to come up with the MVPs of new features.
- Have your first performance conversation with your manager, where you’ll discuss your accomplishments in your role and work together to build goals for your professional growth.

Within 12 months, you will:

- Have a track record of owning and delivering small-to-medium features on time, from implementation to testing to final delivery.
- Integrate and use monitoring and alerting tools to know about problems before our users.
- Participate in architecture discussions with senior team members.
- Understand trade-offs that exist with engineering solutions, knowing that solutions can favor faster delivery with less strict technical requirements or solutions can favor future technical maintainability with delayed delivery of customer value.
- Contribute to technical initiatives that improve the health of the team’s systems.
- Understand how the team uses frameworks and software dependencies and help keep them up to date
- Surprise us! Use your unique ideas and abilities to change your team in beneficial ways that we haven’t even considered yet.
