As a Software Engineer, Fullstack on the Hagerty Marketplace team, you will work on the applications that power two main aspects of vehicle sales, auctions and classifieds. Our auctions platform is focused on a trusted and curated process for buying and selling the most sought-after vehicles. Our classifieds product is an easy and intuitive way to purchase classic and collector cars exclusively from Hagerty Drivers Club members. You’ll operate across the frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure, using modern technologies such as NextJS, TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS to build fast, reliable, and accessible user experiences.
What you’ll do
Develop maintainable, scalable, secure, and resilient applications by:
- Crafting solutions aligned with business objectives, architectural intent, system interactions, and operational requirements.
- Applying established patterns, standards, and integration approaches to deliver reliable solutions for new use cases, while identifying opportunities to improve existing implementations.
- Writing clean, readable, maintainable code and incorporating feedback from code reviews to improve the quality and consistency of your work.
- Designing, implementing, and maintaining automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, with sound judgment about where each type of test provides the most value.
- Working within existing data models and database patterns to support application features, service behavior, and system reliability.
Own and support features, modules, and products by:
- Being able to thoroughly explain and demonstrate how your product fits into the larger Hagerty ecosystem and how other services depend on it.
- Understanding upcoming features of your product, contribute insight during refinement sessions that increase the overall quality of the feature.
- Helping to define key metrics that signal the health and performance of the product, monitoring them, and providing explanation for changes over time.
- Actively practice troubleshooting and participate in the on-call support rotation for the team’s production services.
Deepen technical expertise as an engineer by:
- Making thoughtful recommendations to improve code structure, integration patterns, reliability, and developer experience without being responsible for setting new architectural direction.
- Staying current with evolving frontend and server-side technologies, and thoughtfully incorporating improvements that improve user experience, boost system reliability, and developer productivity without chasing novelty.
Contribute to and engage in a collaborative environment by:
- Being an active participant in all team activities: team ceremonies, banter, troubleshooting, design discussion, work breakdowns, etc.
- Understanding how the team works today, working with your manager to evolve those practices, and setting the tone by consistently modeling the culture we want to build.
- Helping less experienced engineers know the difference between something they can reasonably figure out on their own and when they are blocked. Provide them with tips for accomplishing the former and guidance on asking good questions to avoid the latter.
- Coaching less experienced engineers on our tools, techniques, and patterns, why we’ve chosen those, the tradeoffs we’ve made in choosing them, and their proper application.
