Senior Software Engineer: Platform, York

Are you a creative problem solver who can both give and receive feedback? Do you enjoy working with inclusion, collaboration and openness? 

At Anaplan, we are looking for self-motivated Engineers to join our growing Engineering team in York. This is an opportunity for you to work for a high-growth company that is leading the way in enterprise planning. We look for exceptional Engineers of all levels - smart, passionate people who believe in simplicity, agility and performance and can choose and use the best tools for the job.

In the role of Senior Software Engineer you will be working on the foundations of our products, both current and future, with scale and performance at the forefront of everything you do.

What will you learn?

We offer motivated Software Engineers the chance to improve their knowledge and stay at the forefront of technology, leveraging:

• Java's concurrency primitives to prevent blocked threads and optimise garbage collection activity
• Leading techniques and technologies such as event-sourcing, reactive programming, Kafka, Cassandra and Kubernetes.
• Domain specific languages and model driven engineering to expose clean but expressive interfaces.
• Hybrid cloud infrastructure to supply our product with the resources it needs to best meet our customers’ requirements..
• Knowledge of the whole system stack, from hardware, operating system, multiple languages and virtualisation techniques through to the network.

What will you do?

On any given day as a Senior Software Engineer you may find yourself:

• Pairing with your colleagues to build everything from rapid prototypes to highly testable and tested platform capabilities.
• Considering the implementation of functionality through several distributed components and services.
• Working with our stakeholders to translate product goals into prioritised platform requirements.
• Planning and architecting changes such that they minimise risk to the platform and its consumers.
• Take responsibility for communicating your decisions, successes and failures.
• Coaching and collaborating with other platform and product engineers to share experience and deliver value.
• Creating patents and papers around our innovative solutions.
• Pushing the JVM to the limits!

What is Anaplan like?

Anaplan is driving a new age of connected planning. Large and fast-growing organisations use Anaplan’s cloud platform in every business function to make better-informed plans and decisions and drive faster, more effective planning processes. 

Our current platform already holds terabytes of customer information, in-memory, in the cloud, to enable rapid analysis across a wide range of variables and scenarios. The entire company is excited to take that up several orders of magnitude.

We have a long list of incredible benefits and offer highly competitive packages – we’re serious about attracting the best technologists in the industry. We’ll also offer you a rewarding career with a company that values diversity and invests in you.

What we offer:

• A rewarding, progressive career with a company that values diversity, flexibility and understands the need for a good work/life balance.
• Market-leading salaries combined with generous bonuses, equity and a range of comprehensive benefits.
• Regular agile meet-ups, events and hackathons (both attending and hosting!)
• Flexible working, catered lunches, a well stocked kitchen and plenty of parties & events
• A range of sports, health and wellbeing initiatives
• 3 days of paid leave every year to help support the charity or cause of your choice.
• Huge problems to solve – you will constantly be learning and pushing boundaries, working with some of the smartest people around!

Do you fret over consistency versus availability guarantees? Do you love making complex systems easy to use, resilient, and scalable? That’s what we do! You might have heard of one of our open source projects like PaasTA, rel="nofollow">software looks at dozens of different signals, including various measures of quality, reliability, and activity on Yelp.

Our engineers continuously deploy hundreds of microservices responsible for running our application to thousands of machines across our cloud-based infrastructure.

Where You Come In:

• Design, build, and deploy systems that run 24/7 at ever increasing scale
• Develop tools and automate processes to find answers to challenging questions and reveal the unknown
• Write code and documentation, participate in code reviews, and mentor other engineers
• Support the infrastructure and software your team develops
• Participate in a light on-call rotation, handing off to US-based teams during the night time; no getting woken up in the middle of the night by a 3am page!

What it Takes to Succeed:

• Strong knowledge of systems and application design with an understanding of operational and reliability trade-offs
• Experience operating web-scale deployments of distributed systems, e.g., Kafka, Flink, Cassandra, Kubernetes, and Elasticsearch
• Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and complexity analysis
• A hunger for tracking down root causes—no matter how deep it takes you—and fixing them in systematic ways
• Strong understanding of operating systems, file systems, and networking
• Experience using and operating Linux is ideal
• Fluency in Python, Java, Scala, or a similar language—familiarity with more than one is a plus
• Understanding of configuration management tools (e.g., Puppet, Chef, Ansible) and monitoring (e.g., Nagios, Sensu, Prometheus)
• Exposure to cloud computing services like AWS, Azure, etc.
• Experience working with and contributing to open source projects
• Excellent written and interpersonal communication skills and willingness to uphold Yelp’s deeply held values

What You'll Get:

• Full responsibility for projects from day one, an awesome team, and a dynamic work environment
• Competitive salary with equity in the company, a pension scheme, and an optional employee stock purchase program
• 25 days paid holiday initially, rising to 29 with service
• Private health insurance, including dental and vision
• Flexible working hours and meeting-free Thursdays
• Regular 3-day Hackathons and weekly learning groups, always with interesting topics
• Opportunities to participate in events and conferences throughout Europe and the US
• Public transportation season ticket loan and £50 per month toward any exercise of your choice
• Monthly personal development allowance
• Central location, a fully stocked kitchen, adjustable sitting/standing desks, quarterly offsites, locally roasted coffee, happy hours, and more!
