Job Description

Going Merry was founded in 2017 by Stanford and Carnegie Mellon students who had personally experienced both the power of scholarships in unlocking higher education and the pain of the current application system. With one single platform for thousands of scholarships, the company makes it easier for students to find and apply for scholarships and simpler for scholarship providers to create and manage their scholarships online. Going Merry’s mission is to give every student equal access to life-changing education.

Going Merry is looking for a Software Engineer to help building the world’s best scholarship platform. We are looking for an engineer to take full ownership of this part of our product - maintaining the roadmap, planning new features and seeing them through to deployment.

An ideal fit would be a candidate with a computer science background, who perhaps plans to be a co-founder and wants to get a deeper understanding of early stage startups. Or you’ll be a more experienced engineer with some JavaScript experience, who is keen to join a growing engineering team and make a real difference. Either way you’ll be excited by the opportunity to join a fast-growing start-up, in a role where you’ll be able to take ownership of a core part of the platform.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related discipline or equivalent work experience

Proficiency in JVM-related language(s) with at least 3+ years of experience

Experience with relational database, such as Postgres or MySQL, caching mechanisms, and async processing

Experience building API, either via RESTful API or GraphQL

Experience with distributed source code management tools such as Git, Mercurial, etc.

Does not mind working fairly independently, but are not afraid to ask for assistance

Appreciation for a test-driven, code review culture that produces well-structured, easily maintainable, well-documented code

Will be comfortable to help leading the direction of our core engineering and architecture.

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
