The Role

As a key member of the Core Platform Engineering team, you will work directly with business and technical stakeholders to lead and execute a variety of projects including exploration of new languages, tools, and technologies (such as Go, .net-core, AWS Aurora, Elastic Search, etc), building new APIs and microservices, refactoring of existing services and data stores to fit well in our cloud-native distributed architecture, personalization and many more. While working on these projects, you will hold responsibility for full life-cycle management, including requirements analysis, technical design, implementation, testing, documentation, deployment to production, and post-production ownership.

The Team

The Platform team is responsible for running APIs that serve the catalog and enable UX not only for TuneIn’s own apps but also hundreds of different devices – from smart speakers to cars. The system that powers it consists of several dozen services, built in a split between .NET Core and GoLang, all running in Kubernetes. Other parts of our stack include AWS Aurora and Dynamo for persistent storage, Redis for caching, and GRPC for cross-service interaction. Our current crew size is seven and growing, and we own the full development cycle of our services from planning to deployment.
