Job Description

Full Stack Software Engineer

Verisign helps enable the security, stability, and resiliency of the internet. We are a trusted provider of internet infrastructure services for the networked world and deliver unmatched performance in domain name system (DNS) services.

We are a mission focused, values driven company where each individual can contribute to building a stronger, more secure internet. We offer a dynamic and flexible work environment with competitive benefits and the ability to grow your career.

Verisign is seeking a Mid-level Software Engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack Java development to join our NameStudio software development team.

An ideal candidate should be fluent in Java, have full-stack experience including ReactJS and be eager to learn as needed. In the candidate, we seek a demonstrated understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including core Computer Science concepts, as well as hands-on problem-solving experience building software systems.

The candidate will be involved in all aspects of product development including ideation, design, implementation, deployment, and issue resolution. This will usually imply cross-team collaboration with Product, Engineering, Security and Operations.

NameStudio suite includes a number of internal and public facing UI and API applications to serve the needs of our Registry and Product business teams. Many of our services are deployed in AWS and the rest are in the process of migration from our data centers to the cloud. Name Studio API is a Java, Spring Boot application, implementing algorithms and using external libraries (such as Tensorflow) to generate domain suggestions. The system applies a combination of Large Language Models and state-of-the-art neural language models to generate domain names across 10+ languages (English, French, German, Spanish etc). Whenever you get a domain name suggestion online, be it with a blogging platform or a cloud provider, there is a chance it is powered by our API behind the scenes.

Our web applications are also hosted in AWS using continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) methodologies. These applications use diverse technology stacks, including Spring-Boot, Grails, ReactJS and Thymeleaf. PostgreSQL is used for the data persistence layer. Services range from allowing external customers to request access to specific content related to domain names to microservices that allows internal customers to manage rate limiting for API keys.

The team possesses extensive technical ownership over the product. The work style of the team is closer to an internal startup where all the team members are involved in the majority of product development phases and are flexible moving between focus areas.

The team follows Agile Development methodology relying on daily Scrums with tickets prioritized in Jira. Our code is located on internal GitHub; we utilize pull request code reviews.
