Staff Software Engineer - Back End

Description

Sprout Social is looking to hire a Staff Software Engineer to join our Customer Experience Engineering team.

Why join Sprout’s Engineering team?

With collaborative cross-functional teams that span mobile, front-end, back-end, and site reliability engineering—the Sprout Engineering team is a place to sharpen your craft and solve hard problems with the smartest people in the industry.

In our industry, you often have to switch jobs or even companies to learn a new part of a tech stack or business. But at Sprout, our product is a suite, so you just need to move teams. You’re able to diversify your skills, which not only benefits your team—but also your career. 

What you’ll do

• You will collaborate with the stakeholders to define the vision and help lead the team through complex product and technical roadmaps, guiding them to successful outcomes. 
• You will work to improve the processes, systems, and tools we use to deliver quality products, champion ideas that matter, and hold the team accountable.

What you’ll bring

If you love solving hard problems, delivering high quality, scalable software services, and confidently guide your peers to learn from and teach each other, we’d love to talk to you!
