Staff Software Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

Peloton E-commerce Engineering is looking for a Staff Engineer to help build the brand new V2 of our subscriptions infrastructure. This is a core (> $1b in annual revenue) area of opportunity within our business, and you’ll directly impact our ability to take novel approaches to Peloton membership. Our subscription product touches on multiple hardware modalities, multiple content tiers within the core product offering, complex payment strategies (1st/3rd-party, B2B, HSA/FSA), and plural apps under one umbrella.

This is a coding-heavy Staff Engineer role. The role will focus on evolutionary migrations from a dense monolith to the thoughtfully-executed, event-driven service oriented architecture we’re building. At the Staff Engineer level, we expect you to collaborate with other engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders in a spirit of kindness and service. It’s not enough to just be really good at what you do: we want you to help lift up your teammates as well.

The ideal candidate should have some experience with high-growth startups and larger enterprise environments, since we’re a mix of both. Cross-functional and cross-team collaboration will be a big part of your job, so diplomacy is important. You’ll need to develop mental maps of complicated systems, have the architectural vision for how to simplify them within our constraints, and then execute safely and observably. Fluency in Kotlin is a must. Experience with complex subscription or payments products is highly preferred.

YOUR DAILY IMPACT AT PELOTON

• Motivate and drive a continuous performance-based culture within the team
• Collaborate with multi-functional team members from Design, Product, Program Management and UX in order to deliver against quarterly and annual roadmap objectives
• Instill a culture of automation, re-use and engineering efficiency through the use of software design patterns and leveraging commercial, off the shelf tools
• Identify multi-functional dependencies and remove blockers when needed across engineering, design, and product management
• Enable and sustain the culture of open communication and collaboration across the engagement organization
• Achieve timely delivery without compromising quality

YOU BRING TO PELOTON

• Fluency with Kotlin
• Substantial team-lead experience delivering event-driven microservices / SOA at scale
• Deep understanding of complex digital subscription products and their “gotchas”
• At least some exposure to step functions, state machines and/or Temporal workflows is preferred
• Experience with Github actions
• Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders such as accounting/finance and customer support, to understand and anticipate their day-to-day needs in your work
• Familiarity with CI/CD and how to incorporate test automation into development flows
• Ability to mediate between competing product and technical priorities and align priorities and goals through collaboration with technical leads and product managers
• Effectively communicate between teams and within teams in order to drive alignment and increase effectiveness on delivery
