About this role
Automattic is a company dedicated to making the web a better place through its various products including WordPress and WooCommerce. They are seeking an experienced software engineer to contribute to their product ecosystem and help maintain the quality and performance of their offerings.
Requirements:
- You care and often obsess over the quality and the details of your work
- Debugging any problem is a fun challenge and not a chore
- Understanding the layers of abstraction below and above your work isn't something extra, but how you operate
- You have production experience with several programming languages, frameworks, and paradigms. We mostly use PHP and JavaScript at Automattic, we expect you to be comfortable with the idea of becoming an expert in these languages, even if being one isn't a requirement to apply
- In your mind abstraction is associated as much with cost as it is with value
- You have experience working at scale – it can be on the backend and performance side, or via the complexity of interacting with a multi-million diverse userbase
- Are open and able to travel 3-4 weeks per year to meet up with your teammates in person
