Your role:
You will join the Creatives team alongside three other Haskell engineers, a frontend developer, a product manager, and a UI/UX designer. This team is responsible for developing and maintaining our Image Editor and related image-processing functionalities.
Your main focus will be backend development, with occasional frontend work, within a complex distributed web application. Our platform is composed of various services built using Haskell, Python, and Rust.
In this role, you will take charge of designing, developing, and maintaining both new and existing image-related features. A key part of your job will be to enhance the scalability of our services to support a significant increase in usage, all while ensuring the app remains fast and responsive.
If you’re eager to make a real impact, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to build features that deliver direct value to our users!
Our technology stack includes: Haskell, Python, Rust, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, Ansible, Terraform, and Prometheus. We operate our infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform.

Help define and develop the future of the Creatives feature set with your close-knit team
-
Design, implement, and test new features
-
Review code and collaborate with teammates
-
Increase the reliability and robustness of the application
-
Work on improving scalability and performance
-
Coordinate with other product and platform teams to integrate image-related features with other parts of our product
Who you are:
-
Proficient in Haskell or a similar typed functional programming language
-
Comfortable working with multiple languages, especially Python, since our codebase is polyglot
-
Have 4-5 years of professional software engineering experience
-
Skilled in tuning and scaling large-scale applications
