Backend Engineer II Full Description
HackerRank helps thousands of companies hire developers based on skills rather than pedigree, and also nurtures a community of millions of developers to upskill and become next-gen developers.
The people at HackerRank care deeply about their work and have an extremely intense work ethic. In many companies, speed & quality are a tradeoff. At HackerRank, itâs not; we expect you to ship in about half the time that most competent people think is possible while maintaining a standard of quality youâd proudly sign your name on. The only way to make this happen is to truly love your craft and be deeply committed to growth.
About the roleThe Integrations Team owns the pipelines that enable data to flow in and out of HackerRank, allowing customers to use HackerRank products from any third-party tool seamlessly. We meet the customers where they are from Applicant Tracking Systems to communication tools such as Slack and Zoom. Integration is a critical part of the business and is one of the many reasons why customers choose HackerRank. Making this seem simple to customers means abstracting away the complexities of making systems talk to each other in a scalable and resilient way, and that wouldnât be possible without a team of skilled engineers.
