Title: Senior Backend Engineer
Department: Engineering
Reports To: Head of Engineering
At AutoLotto we’re assembling a world-class team of brilliant minds, resourceful doers and creative problem-solvers with a ‘find a way or make a way’ attitude. Founded in 2015 and based in San Francisco, California, AutoLotto is creating the next generation of lottery ticket sales & ticket management systems. We make buying and redeeming lottery tickets more convenient, secure and intelligent through our mobile application and online platform and we’re looking to grow our team of ‘BAMFs’ across key regions in the United States.
In the engineering team, we test our agility everyday, knocking out features and deploying high quality, maintainable and functional software. On any given day we knock out hundreds of scrum points and work to improve the quality and functionality of a rapidly growing product and infrastructure. We’re data driven and growth-focused. Our work directly impacts the success of the company and will be critical to our rapid growth and scale.
To achieve our mission, we look for high caliber people who share the following core characteristics:
Grit: Resilient marathoners who finish what they start and love tackling problems of all sizes. We take critical feedback and push through to get the job done.
Rigor: Data driven, analytical and exhaustive in decision making. We take in the evidence, integrate information from multiple sources quickly, draw conclusions and take actions – quickly.
Collaboration: We leave our egos at home, we challenge each other and we work together to find the best solutions, every day, day in and day out.
Ownership: We sign up for the hard stuff and take extreme ownership to see it through. We make lemonade out of lemons when we have to and don’t let attitude get in the way of getting it done.
Curiosity: Most of us dork out over non-work related topics at a ridiculous level of detail, because that’s how we’re wired. We’re naturally inquisitive, ask tough questions and aren’t afraid to ruffle feathers to find better answers.
Honesty: We’re transparent and honest because that’s the right way to treat other people. Integrity is the basis of trust, and trust is everything when you’re creating the future together.
