About AppDirect

Become a digital, global citizen and enable the new generation of digital entrepreneurs around the world. AppDirect offers a subscription commerce platform to sell any product, through any channel, on any device - as a service. We power millions of subscriptions worldwide for organizations. We do this by our values-driven culture - one that enables you to Be Seen, Be Yourself, and Do Your Best Work.

About the team - Tackle

Tackle, a business unit of AppDirect, is the leading solution built to help software companies generate revenue through data-driven Cloud go-to-market (Cloud GTM). Our platform and team help customers identify the right buyers, grow cloud co-sell relationships, and transact efficiently at scale through AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft.

Tackle serves more than 500 software companies - including CrowdStrike, HashiCorp, New Relic, and Snyk - from high-growth startups to the largest software companies in the world.

About You

As a Senior Software Developer, you'll join a development team that crafts solid, reliable software at a sustainable pace using modern toolchains where code ships to production multiple times daily. You'll build resilient, performant multi-tiered applications that empower the software industry's most successful companies to scale their cloud and marketplace operations - while growing as a developer through a detailed development plan tailored to your interests and aspirations.

What you’ll do and how you’ll have an impact

Solve technical problems of high scope and complexity;
Write code that is focused on scalability, testability, supportability and maintainability;
Own your code start to finish, take pride in what you build;
Actively and enthusiastically participate in thorough code reviews and troubleshooting complex issues;
Drive the direction of our apprenticeship program for mentoring new team members and less experienced team members;
Be curious - strive to understand how your contributions tie into the larger picture of your team, your product and AppDirect as a whole;
Welcome different perspectives - be open and inclusive in every interaction.

What we’re looking for

6+ years of professional experience building modern, scalable, high-performing backend services, demonstrating strong fundamentals in type-driven development practices;
Professional experience deploying applications and managed services within AWS, including API Gateway, Lambda, Step Functions, and deep expertise in infrastructure as code with AWS CDK, Terraform, or similar frameworks;
Advanced skill in NoSQL database modeling with DynamoDB (including Single Table Design) and deep knowledge of relational databases such as Postgres to power AppDirect's data infrastructure;
Experience with Go is an asset;
Strong experience building RESTful APIs and understanding of microservice event-driven design, ideally utilizing Amazon EventBridge to build resilient, distributed systems;
A desire to hold yourself and the team to high standards while evaluating technical trade-offs and delivering balanced solutions that move AppDirect forward;
Self-motivated with strong organizational skills, a positive and solution-oriented mindset, and the ability to thrive in a hybrid organization where flexible schedules require asynchronous communication;
Communicate clearly and effectively in both verbal and written form, collaborating seamlessly across distributed development teams.

At AppDirect, we believe that innovation thrives in an environment that houses diversity of excellence, experience and thought. We respect each AppDirector as their own fingerprint; unique with no one alike. We foster an environment of inclusion without regard to race, religion, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity enabling AppDirectors to embrace their uniqueness to do their best work. As such, we strongly encourage applications from Indigenous peoples, racialized people, people with disabilities, people from gender and sexually diverse communities, and/or people with intersectional identities.

At AppDirect we take privacy very seriously. For more information about our use and handling of personal data from job applicants, please read our Candidate Privacy Policy.
