About the Team
The Live Chat Team is building a first-class product that empowers support teams to support their customers quickly and easily through real time conversations. It's a highly scaled product supporting millions of messages with high performance and reliability. We’re looking to continue to expand this system to build out a holistic service that can support your customers beyond just chat capabilities.
Our services need to do a lot of work very quickly, and we rely heavily on performant technologies to help achieve these goals. We write lots of microservices, primarily with Java 11. Our APIs are RESTful and use the Dropwizard framework. We take advantage of Kafka for processing large volumes of data.

Is experienced in distributed systems, service-oriented architecture, and building scalable data pipelines or APIs (Java, Kotlin, or similar).
Understands trade-offs in performance, cost, and complexity when working with large-scale data systems.
Collaborates effectively with cross-functional teams and brings a product-focused mindset to engineering decisions.
Takes initiative, enjoys solving hard problems, and values clean, maintainable code.
Is eager to mentor peers and influence technical direction within a team or broader group.
Has experience in (or is excited to learn more about) using AI and building AI products.
We’re looking for individuals who:
Are a strong senior engineer with some experience leading small teams.
Have a passion for writing code and reading code
Foster an environment that encourages autonomy and psychological safety.
Understand the value of building a diverse team, and are champions and upstanders for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging initiatives.
Enjoy mentoring and coaching other team members in a psychologically safe way, while also being open to learning from them as well.
