Software Engineer, Image Activation

As a leader in the stock photo industry, Shutterstock is looking for a highly motivated and talented individual to join our Image Activation Engineering team. We strongly believe that in order to put our customers first, we must work closely with them to not only understand their needs but architect solutions that improve their day to day flow. Our core belief is that in order for Shutterstock to succeed, teams and individual team members must be empowered to work with each other to develop the solution that best meets the needs of everyone involved.

Responsibilities:

  • Contributing to all aspects of the services under the team’s ownership, which includes design, implementation, refactoring, automated testing, deployment, and uptime of the services
  • Helping other team members grow as engineers through code review, pairing, and mentoring
  • Improving internal team processes by keeping what's working, throwing away what's no
  • Excited about making usable, interactive interfaces and in love with building things that have never existed
  • Curious and passionate about finding creative solutions to complex problems
  • Able communicators that are used to talking through problems and feel a deep need to share the cool stuff that they're working on with others
  • Building the technology the right way: for us, this means simple, well-tested systems that gradually grow over time, and that provides plenty of insight into production performance
