Job Description: • 2-minute read •
We’re seeking an experienced software engineer to help us build and support MailChimp products. We have a PHP codebase like no other, and our application stack includes Linux, MySQL, Postgres, Puppet, Elasticsearch, Redis, and Kafka. We use a variety of hosting services around the world in AWS as well as in MailChimp’s own Colocation facilities.
Watch: Career Advice

The ideal candidate is a self-directed, experienced programmer who enjoys the trade-offs and complexities involved in implementing new features in a mature codebase. You enjoy putting your head down and writing code, but you’re aware that your job isn’t done when that code gets deployed: you also enjoy working with support, ops, and other teams to keep applications healthy and users happy. You prefer using proven technologies to solve interesting new problems, but you’re aware that favoring older technologies doesn’t imply letting your skillset stagnate. You’ve broken production environments—and then buckled down and fixed them. You’re comfortable using git in a continuous integration environment, and you’re not afraid to dig into configuration management tools like Puppet or Chef.

We allow for flexible hours and some telecommute options, but you need to be in the Atlanta office most days. We’re willing to help you with relocation! We don’t care about pedigree or what languages or stacks you’ve worked in, we’re just looking for great engineers. In fact, if you’d rather send us code than polish up your resumé, that works for us.
