About This Role

As a Staff Software Engineer at Fandom, you will help us build the web experience on the world’s biggest platform for fans, with over 2.5 billion page views and 300 million users a month!

Our Community Platform underlies some of the biggest fan knowledge bases in the world, including communities built around pop culture phenomena like Star Wars, Minecraft, Marvel Comics, and thousands of others.

We are looking for people who are driven by solving business problems on a very big scale. It’s OK if you’re more specialized in either front-end or back-end or prefer to be a balanced web developer that solves problems equally on both sides of the HTTP protocol - if you’re good at solving problems and you enjoy the pop culture, there is a big chance you’ll find yourself at home at Fandom!

You Will...

  • Help build one of the biggest community platforms on the Internet

  • Share knowledge with others
  • Provide mentorship to the less experienced engineers on your team

You Have...

  • Experience in web development
  • An ability to code in PHP
  • Courage for learning new technologies and stepping out of your comfort zone
  • A drive to solve business problems
  • A strong eye for performance and scalability
  • An ability to resolve technical and operational issues
  • Passion for delivering well-structured, tested, maintainable and useful software
  • Ability to communicate in English

Bonus Points if You Have...

  • Passion for pop culture (Movies, Games, TV Shows, Anime, etc.)
  • Experience with app security
  • Experience with creating developer tools or platforms
  • Experience working with highly-scaled web apps
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
  • An ability to code in Java or Golang

Benefits & Perks

  • MacBook Pro and all the gear you need for work
  • Free access to a multitude of popular online courses and books sponsored by the company
  • An on-demand budget for education, training, and conferences
  • Company stock options
  • Company swag packages
  • Cafeteria Benefit Program (including private medical care, gym membership, shopping/wellness bonus, etc.)
  • VTO (Voluntary Time Off) - a day off every quarter for volunteering non-profit
  • Frequent team bonding events
  • Flexible work hours & time-off
  • Employee Interest and Hobby Groups supported by the company
  • Open, energetic and fan-focused, international work environment
