Associate Software Engineer - Platform

Hybrid Poland

Description

Sprout Social is looking to hire Associate Software Engineers to the Engineering team located in Kraków. 

 

Why join Sprout’s Engineering team?

With collaborative cross-functional teams that span mobile, front-end, back-end, data and site reliability engineering—the Sprout Engineering team is a place to sharpen your craft and solve hard problems with the smartest people in the industry. You’ll get to work on a “tech-giant” scale with smaller, supportive teams where every engineer has the chance to make an impact on our company, and our customers. The best part? In our industry, you often have to switch jobs or even companies to learn a new part of a tech stack or business. But at Sprout, our product is a suite, so you just need to move teams. You’re able to diversify your skills, which not only benefits your team—but also your career. 

What you’ll do

In our engineering program for new graduates, you’ll be embedded as a member of our cross-functional engineering teams in an Agile development environment. Based on your interests and our business needs, you will be placed in one of our different engineering disciplines. Our engineers work in tandem with product designers and product managers to drive our product initiatives to successful outcomes. Our small teams (6-10 people) provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere to learn while shipping production software.

At Sprout, we'll help you grow your skills and your career through onboarding, mentorship, and the opportunity to pair with more senior engineers.  You’ll have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of individuals, propose product and technical changes, and deliver best-in-class software. If you’re passionate about solving complex problems and building large scale applications using cutting edge technologies, we’d love to talk with you! 

 

Qualifications

These are the minimum qualifications that our hiring team is looking for in this role:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field 
  • Previous software engineering internship experience

Additionally, these are the preferred qualifications that would indicate a particularly strong candidate:

  • Experience with some of the technologies and languages within our stack:
  • Scala or other JVM languages,
  • SQL and relational databases,
  • message brokers. 

 

Within 1 month, you will:

  • Experience Sprout’s in-depth onboarding, covering everything from our company mission and values, hearing directly from executives and founders, to deep training on our products and the value that Sprout delivers to our customers.
  • Make a plan with your manager to set initial priorities, align on expectations for your role, plant goalposts for your career, and learn about Sprout’s approach to engineering.
  • Learn how code is deployed to our end users through collaboration with engineers on your team.
  • Collaborate regularly with your product manager, product designer and fellow engineers to deliver value to our users.
  • Get regular team feedback on your code through code reviews.
  • Deliver business value by shipping your first code change with active pairing/mentoring from your teammates.

Within 3 months, you will:

  • Focus on code quality with meaningful test coverage and legibility.
  • Have a firm understanding of the team’s roadmap and the team’s Agile processes.
  • Contribute to our Agile culture of continuous improvement through retrospective meetings and experimentation-oriented thinking.
  • Build connections with members from other teams through active networking and community building
  • Attend technical design meetings with your teammates to walk through new feature ideas. 
  • Maintain and build upon systems that handle hundreds of thousands of messages a day. 
  • Build your engineering skills by attending in-house presentations, workshops, and training sessions.

Within 6 months, you will:

  • Independently own and deliver stories with peer consultation given user acceptance criteria and visual mockups.
  • Work with your product manager and fellow engineers to create and prioritize quarterly team goals.
  • Collaborate with product managers, product designers, and engineers to come up with the MVPs of new features.
  • Have your first performance conversation with your manager, where you’ll discuss your accomplishments in your role and work together to build goals for your professional growth.

Within 12 months, you will:

  • Have a track record of owning and delivering small-to-medium features on time, from implementation to testing to final delivery.
  • Integrate and use monitoring and alerting tools to know about problems before our users.
  • Participate in architecture discussions with senior team members.
  • Understand trade-offs that exist with engineering solutions, knowing that solutions can favor faster delivery with less strict technical requirements or solutions can favor future technical maintainability with delayed delivery of customer value.
  • Contribute to technical initiatives that improve the health of the team’s systems.
  • Understand how the team uses frameworks and software dependencies and help keep them up to date
  • Surprise us! Use your unique ideas and abilities to change your team in beneficial ways that we haven’t even considered yet.

Of course, what is outlined above is the ideal timeline, but things may shift based on business needs and other projects and tasks could be added at the discretion of your manager.

  • High-quality and well-maintained equipment—your computer will never prevent you from doing your best

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
