We’re looking for an outstanding back-end engineer to work with the Homepage team in NYC as we redefine the face of eBay. You’ll be working with a world class team of engineers, designers, product managers, and analysts to create great products that make a difference on one of the world’s most trafficked and loved websites.

On a day-to-day basis, you would:
- Create robust, scalable APIs that support web, mobile web, and mobile applications

- Use best practices to write clean, maintainable code for the project
- Identify and address performance bottlenecks
