• 8+ years of experience in software engineering

• Demonstrated experience in a product-oriented software development

• Experience leading engineering teams

• Strong technical expertise in software development and architecture, and cloud-first solutions using some of the following technologies

• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, serverless architectures, high volume architectures, API strategies, PostgreSQL or SQL based engine, AWS, micro-services, web security, and Agile methods is highly desirable

Work Location:

• This role will be hybrid and based in Guadalajara, Mexico

Even if you do not meet all the requirements above, we still encourage you to apply for this position. While we try to be thorough with our prerequisites, not everything about you as a candidate can be condensed into a list of bullet points. What do you have to lose?

The benefits we offer in Mexico include

• FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT

• Competitive health insurance plans

• Christmas bonus

• Flexible time off

• Fountain-wide perks including paid holidays, annual allowances for ongoing education related to your profession and career advancement, along with home office, cell phone, and wellness reimbursements.
