About the Role

As a Server-side Developer, you will take the lead on helping build cutting edge features into our product that drive value for the 1,700 businesses that uses our platform for collaboration.

Our API receives hundreds of requests per second and is used by both internal and external developers.

• Implementing an in-file search using Elasticsearch with custom input filters to index a plethora of document types.
  
   


• Building a scalable engine that can convert nearly any type of file to PDF for in-browser previews (like the former Crocodoc service).
  
   


• Upgrading our API documentation to be automatically generated using the OpenAPI standard, and the creation of automatically-generated SDKs.
  
   


• Building our Universal Sync engine, which is a tool that allows our  users to synchronize their files to other cloud services such as S3, Azure, and Rackspace.
  
   


• Building a file versioning tool that uses Git behind the scenes to give customers easy tracking of file versions.
