Senior Software Engineer IV/Analista de Desenvolvimento de Software IV

O que você fará

We are building cloud-based tax compliance solutions to handle every transaction in the world. Imagine every transaction you make - every tank of gas, cup of coffee, or pair of sneakers, every movie ticket, or streamed song, every sensor-to-sensor ping. Nearly every time you make a purchase, physical or digital, there is an accompanying unique and nuanced tax compliance calculation.

We have a phenomenal team working in an open, collaborative environment that makes taxes and compliance less taxing to deal with.

It will be up to you and the team to convert the product vision and requirements into a finished product.

Avalara is a global, publicly-traded company. Despite our size, we maintain a startup culture focused on building great software and having the maximum impact on the world that we can, and having fun while doing it.

Check us out. We'd love to talk to you about what we are up to!

Here are some of the things we expect you to do when you join us:

• Avalara Product: Global e-Invoicing and Live Reporting: Dig into our multi-patented, cloud-native Avalara product suite. We are looking to build a flexible, extensible platform capable of handling any opportunity to create and submit electronic invoices and live reporting processes for any industry in any geography. Work with your team to create that while maximizing performance, scalability, and reliability while making it 'oh-so-simple' to operate.
• Design With The Vision In Mind: You know how to take requirements and create software designs and other forms of architectural documentation. In doing so, you can exert technical influence over the team, increasing their productivity and effectiveness by sharing your deep knowledge and experience.
• Code, Review, Commit: Become part of the team to deliver more than you ever thought possible. Research, identify, and utilize appropriate tools, libraries, frameworks, and languages to solve problems and deliver results using the most effective methods - document software functionality, including public APIs and customer-facing UIs. Participate in project estimation and scoping exercises. Perform code reviews and have your code reviewed by peers.
• Create Industry-Leading Products: Avalara is the market leader, and we intend on staying that way. That means we can't be complacent. Own key areas within our platform. And as owners, we actively encourage everyone to make bold moves and keep testing the limits. Innovation is what drives our success - help us keep pushing that needle further.
• Automation vs. People Power. Computers are great for process automation, but there's a limit to what they can do. You and the team will tackle the unique challenges at the intersection of software
• You + Avalara = Infinity: Avalara's vision is to be part of every transaction of every business around the world. That means making Avalara ELR a platform that can handle not just the submission of invoices but all the continuous compliance processes with any government in any geography. In fact, we want every government to use Avalara on their end as well! The possibilities of what Avalara can do and what you can do for it are open-ended! You are not just another engineer when you join Avalara. You and Avalara equal endless possibilities!
  
  
  

O que precisa possuir para ser bem sucedido

For us, qualifications enable you to meet and exceed your performance objectives. This position preferably requires a minimum of 8 years' related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years' experience and a Master's degree; or a PhD with 3 years' experience; or equivalent experience.

• You have a track record of delivering valuable, high-quality features into production. If we ask you to tell us about your work that went into production, you can substantiate the claim by telling us about specific examples and how you knew it was done well.
• You know what's fundamentally different about software designed for the cloud from on-premise, not because you read about it but because you've been knee-deep in SaaS. That means you have experience with things like service-oriented architectures, microservices, and web application development. You have a firm understanding of system performance trade-offs, load balancing, and engineering for high availability.
• You have experience solving specific "ility"problems - extensibility, flexibility, observability, scalability, and reliability, to name a few. Maybe it was at a system level (dealing with resource constraints), in the database (reducing complex queries to save time), dealing with elasticity & clustering (while avoiding startup/latency issues), network, and security issues.
• We have details of the product in c#.net, node.js, python, and other technologies. So, experience and willingness to use a broad set of technologies while claiming expertise in some is a real plus with us. We call that a T-shaped person.
• As far as other technologies, we use MySQL as our primary transactional RDBMS, and we are introducing many other cloud technologies Redis, Snowflake, and Prometheus. Streaming technologies like Kafka, Kinesis, and visualization tools like Grafana are regularly in the conversation. And, of course, containerization using Docker and orchestration using Kubernetes. We are an AWS shop. A background in Azure or GCP is also welcomed
• A Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field is desirable.
• Fluent English is mandatory.
• It is a position with international teams´interaction. Only resumes sent in English will be considered.
