The ideal candidate:

  • High-level languages (Go)
  • Relational and eventually consistent databases (MongoDB, Postgres, MySQL)
  • In-memory data stores and caches (Redis, Memcache)
  • Version control system (Git)
  • Test writing and quality assurance
  • Service-oriented architecture
  • Full-stack development (Kotlin, Javascript, React, Swift)
  • Messages queue and event streaming (Kafka, Kinesis, Redis Streams)
  • Continuous development
  • Undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science, engineering or mathematics

  • Robust Leave Policies: 20 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers, 14 weeks for secondary caregivers, and a flexible return to work schedule.
  • Calvin Care Cash: Employees who are welcoming new family members will also receive a one time $2,000 incentive to assist employees with covering the cost of childcare, clothing, diapers and much more
