Requirements

Nice to have

Consistently delivering against the product and engineering backlogs.
Architecting solutions that are secure, maintainable, extensible and can meet the demands of eBay’s scale.
Supporting our applications in production, including setting up & maintaining logging, monitoring and alerting.
Lead and mentor team on best engineering and architectural patterns and practices.
Pair programming, reviewing pull request and giving constructive feedback.
Contributing to the definition of features for services owned by your team.
Continuously improving yourself and your team by suggesting and helping implement new Engineering tools, processes and practices.
Effectively communicating your and your team’s progress to your team members, your manager and wider eBay colleagues.
Leading on large initiatives spanning multiple teams in the domain.

Agile: Test-Driven Development, collaboration and continuous delivery are your preferred engineering practices? We take the best bits of Lean, Scrum and Kanban too.
Architecture: In a large scale distributed web-application, you choose the right tool for the job at hand. You know when to break something out into a new component and the best way to wire it in, when to go with the simplest fit into the current system and when to rethink the existing approach.
Experience: You are an experienced engineer, with several years working at a high level, confident working on a range of languages and frameworks and are happy to pick up new ones. You like working on established technology stacks as well as quickly changing platforms.
Leadership: You have proven experience on delivering complex initiatives at scale by leading multiple teams from technical and process points of view. You have influenced the technical direction of a team and have mentoring experience.
Maturity: You understand the necessity of the engineering vs business balance and are able to compromise efficiently. You are not afraid of legacy systems and know how to deal with them and when. You plan just right according to a situation and not too much or too little. Sensible approach when it comes to late changes or deadlines.

Rewarding technical challenges - Fixing eCommerce delivery requires solving difficult technical problems: building unified shipping platforms for diverse customers, iterating fast while providing the best customer experience, constantly improving our technology while dealing with the eBay volume is what we do best.
