Rackspace Hiring for R-11389 Software Developer IV Job at Remote Full Time

The Platform Experience group in the Rackspace Solutions and Strategy (RSS) organization is looking for talented new full stack developers with passion for modern web development standards.

As a developer in our team, you will be responsible for building cutting-edge applications that deliver innovative outcomes to our customers. You will leverage the best of modern cloud native components, building solutions that are operationally robust and impressively scalable.

Platform Experience at Rackspace Technology has two main areas of product & delivery responsibility

We are the interaction point between customers, and the products and services that Rackspace Technology provides.

Our customer and internal-facing platforms are powered by microservices, including event-driven and HTTP APIs. Our services are fronted with a suite of modern JavaScript applications. We own the full stack of each service from application logic to infrastructure and we are operationally responsible for the services we run. We practice continuous integration and delivery, deploying our services to production hundreds of times a day.

We continuously evaluate new technologies to assess their fit within our solutions, so a strong desire to learn is a must.
