As leaders in providing streamlined, user-friendly solutions, we empower automotive brands to maximize online sales. Our commitment to technology, top-notch customer service, and a profound understanding of the automotive market sets us apart. If you're ready to revolutionize the eCommerce space for automotive parts and accessories, consider joining our dynamic team of Revolutionaries.
The Role
RevolutionParts is looking for talented and dedicated Staff Engineers to help evolve our technology to support our next phase of growth. You'll be joining a team of professionals who are fiercely dedicated to using technology to revolutionize an industry not known for being high-tech: auto parts.
If you want a clear-cut role with the same tasks for years, this is not for you. If you like to Think Big and work on a variety of projects, we need you!
*Please note that this is a hybrid role that requires that you work from our Tempe, Arizona, offices at least 2 days per week (Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Types of problems we are solving
- We have 50 million parts in a DB. Create a back-end technology stack that can support real-time dynamic search of these parts (Google style) -- think "2010 accord water pump". Keywords: ElasticSearch, node.js, parallel processing ??
- We have a history of 700,000 orders. Create a recommendation engine that will suggest other parts along with what a buyer already has in their cart. Oh -- and the recommended part has to fit the same car. Return the result in 100 ms or less. Keywords: Uhm, we're not sure, research technologies that might help accomplish this.
- Create a clean public REST API for parts dealers to import orders that they get from sources other than our stores. Keywords: Authentication, JSON, good API design.
- Create an internal shopping cart service that can manage millions of carts a month. Keywords: memcached/redis, NoSQL, scaling, availability
- We need to spin up 50 servers on AWS to crunch some numbers every month. Let's automate that.
