We are looking for a talented and experienced colleague. We love people who can work independently, and we won't tell you what to do, but we are always ready to help with anything you don't understand. Our main metric of success is the success of everyone on our team.

What tasks await you

Creating platform services The idea of a virtual office partly consists of ensuring all its parts — Yandex 360 services — have access to each other's data and can transparently interact. Our colleagues from Mail, Disk, Calendar, and Messenger excel at their functional tasks, leaving cross-functional tasks to us — the platform.

Technical tasks You will solve complex technical problems to scale and develop a distributed high-load service in various platform components from the perspective of storing user data and synchronizing it between services. This solution is used by over 50 Yandex services besides Yandex 360 — for example, Alice and Navigator with a load of 150 thousand requests per second.

Development and support of a unified gateway for access to all Yandex 360 services The unified access gateway (API Gateway) reduces the time-to-market (TTM) for new products and facilitates integration with Yandex 360 services. It is a single point of control for security and analytics of Yandex 360 service usage.

Development of a new service for automating cross-functional tasks There are prospects for developing new services that are currently at the product roadmap stage. There is a lot of work and interesting tasks.
