Job Description
Giga is seeking Software Engineer New Grads to join our innovative team in San Francisco, CA. You'll build cutting-edge software solutions, collaborate with top engineers, and drive impactful projects from day one in a fast-paced tech environment.
Full Description
Join Giga as a Software Engineer for new graduates and kickstart your career in one of the most dynamic tech hubs, San Francisco. This entry-level role is pivotal for recent grads eager to contribute to groundbreaking projects that scale our platform to millions of users worldwide. You'll work on real-world challenges that directly influence our company's growth and innovation trajectory, gaining hands-on experience while making a tangible impact from the outset.
As a Software Engineer, your day-to-day will involve designing and implementing scalable backend services using modern cloud architectures, writing clean, efficient code in languages like Python, Java, or Go. Weekly, you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams including product managers and designers to iterate on features, conduct code reviews, and deploy updates via CI/CD pipelines. Monthly deliverables include optimizing system performance, contributing to open-source components, and analyzing metrics like latency and throughput to ensure 99.9% uptime. You'll participate in agile sprints, troubleshooting production issues, building APIs for frontend integration, and mentoring peers on best practices. Expect to lead small projects, such as A/B testing new algorithms, while coordinating with data scientists for model integrations.
include a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field from an accredited university, with graduation within the last 12 months. Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, or C++, along with experience in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design from coursework or personal projects. Familiarity with SQL databases, RESTful APIs, and version control systems like Git is essential. New grads should demonstrate strong problem-solving through internships, hackathons, or LeetCode-style challenges, with a GPA of 3.5 or higher preferred. No prior professional experience required, but contributions to GitHub repositories or relevant certifications like AWS Certified Developer Associate are a plus.
Beyond technical prowess, we value engineers who exhibit excellent communication skills to articulate complex ideas, adaptability in a fast-evolving startup environment, and a collaborative mindset for team success. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a passion for continuous learning will set you apart. Proficiency in tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, combined with soft skills like time management and proactive problem-solving, are key competencies for thriving here.
Giga is a trailblazing tech company revolutionizing scalable computing solutions with a mission to empower developers through ultra-fast infrastructure. Our San Francisco headquarters fosters a vibrant, inclusive culture emphasizing innovation, work-life balance, and employee empowerment. With flat hierarchies, diverse teams of 200+ engineers, and weekly hackathons, we create a supportive environment where ideas flourish and rapid growth is the norm.
We offer competitive compensation with salary not specified, commensurate with experience, plus equity in a high-growth startup. Comprehensive benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, unlimited PTO, and flexible hybrid work options. Perks feature catered meals, gym memberships, learning stipends up to $5,000 annually, and stock options vesting over four years, ensuring long-term financial rewards alongside wellness support.
Advance your career through mentorship programs, internal promotions to senior roles within 2-3 years, and access to conferences like AWS re:Invent. Professional development includes subsidized courses on Coursera and hands-on training. To apply, submit your resume and GitHub portfolio via our careers page today and join our upcoming interviews.
