Honey is a fast-growing startup based in Los Angeles. Our online shopping platform offers users a smarter way to shop. We open up instant access to exclusive savings, deals, rewards and discovery, all powered by the collective knowledge of Honey's community of online shoppers. We are helping millions save when they shop online, and we're hiring!

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Honey Extension team. This person will focus on creating scalable, efficient, and stable backends for our existing products (stores, coupons) while exploring new money-saving opportunities for our users (e.g. travel, tips, PayPal services). Since the Extension team is responsible for the core product that most users interact with, we deal with massive amounts of requests that must also be serviced at a high level of responsiveness. We are always trying to design new ways for users to get value out of the Honey ecosystem while at the same time creating efficient and scalable backends to service our 20 million users.

  • You’re able and willing to deploy your systems to production and troubleshoot them if they fail
  • You understand Microservice architecture
  • You want to work with Docker and Kubernetes

What You’ll Do:

  • Work within a mission team (a cross-functional team focused on a specific, well-defined mission) on a given set of features and services
  • Architect, design, write, review, and test code in a collaborative environment with 2-5 other software engineers.
  • Leverage your peers as multipliers for your skills to create excellent products and services for Honey’s 10+ million users
  • Build and maintain internal and external API's written in JavaScript 
  • Build large-scale stand-alone tasks reading from Pub/Sub and processing millions of messages per day

  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform, CircleCI, Node.js, NPM, Git, GitHub, Golang, Kubernetes, Docker
  • Experience with a distributed SQL platform like Google Spanner or CockroachDB
  • Experience with Hadoop, Map-Reduce, or other “Big Data” systems

At Honey, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive company.
