About us:

Braintree lets you move money from one place to another safely and securely.
Every time you pay for an Uber ride, book a stay through Airbnb, or pay with PayPal when you check out online, you’re probably using our product. It sounds complex (and it is), but we make it so simple you can’t tell we’re there.
We solve world-scale problems and provide opportunities to match. We build
diverse teams that recognize our strengths and allow us to work on our
weaknesses. You bring skills and a relentless focus on the customer, and we'll
provide the support you need to do the best work of your life.

The Team:

Our focus is teaming with smart engineers who are passionate about their craft and excited to build software for our unique solutions in the space.
At Braintree, developers have the chance to work on various teams and stacks.
Although most of our software is written in Ruby, we believe in using the best tool for the job. For example, we’ve written data platforms in Clojure, payment gateways in Java, and contextual commerce in Ruby. Here’s more:

We build what we love and we own what we build. We take great care to
build the best products and we ensure its quality by running it ourselves in
production.

Communication is key to our process. Many teams program in pairs, which
means you always have another set of eyes to help you.

We practice test-driven development and believe that it helps us deliver
simple solutions focused on real customer needs. We have no QA department
– developers test, release and monitor their own code.

We keep the team in sync with daily stand-ups and have regular
retrospectives to discuss things that are going well and opportunities for
improvements.

We value unique perspectives brought by diverse backgrounds and
experiences. A broad range of ideas and perspectives help us to create the
best possible product.

The Role:

As a member of Team Streams, you will be responsible for maintaining and building the core technologies connecting our business. You will collaborate with our customers, technical leadership, and your peers to find new ways of making our platform even more resilient, robust and scalable.

What You’ll Do:

Scale our Kafka infrastructure to meet customer demands.

Write code in a variety of languages to connect our product with different
software within the organization.

Improve our observability, monitoring, and alerting.

Work daily with technologies such as Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Puppet
and Ansible to build and manage our infrastructure.

Collaborate with business units to determine how best to move data across
the company.

Actively participate in design sessions and publish internal RFCs to build
consensus for larger decisions.

Participate in an on-call rotation for the systems that you help build and
maintain.

Be part of incident reviews and blameless postmortems.

What We’re Looking For

Experience with the concepts underlying software such as Kafka, etcd, Redis.

Familiarity with orchestration tools (Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Terraform, etc.).

Familiarity with building solutions in the Cloud (ideally AWS).

Software Development background with a record of improving existing
codebases, especially in: Ruby, Java, or shell scripts.

Ability to support a 24/7/365 always-available production grade service.

Experience with Unix/Linux operating systems and administration.

Conceptual understanding of debugging complex issues in production
systems.

Familiarity with monitoring/logging tools and best practices.

Familiarity with the software release lifecycle using modern distributed
version control (e.g. git).

Experience working in highly collaborative teams with diverse personalities
and skillsets.

Solid communication skills and the ability to explain concepts to stakeholders
across teams with varying levels of technical knowledge.

We understand that an individual applicant may not meet all these requirements. We also recognize that impostor syndrome is real, so if working with these technologies at a global scale interests you we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t currently check every box.
