We're looking for an experienced, driven and motivated engineer to join our full remote team (ignore the office location in this job posting). Our teams have vertical end-to-end ownership of entire features, which includes frontends, backends, data, infrastructure, ops and everything in between. For this role, we're looking for a backend specialist​ to join ​one of our backend-heavy teams.

Our culture

• We are fully remote with team members all across Europe; CE(S)T ±1.
• There’s at least one in-person team event per year (somewhere in Europe).
• We highly value async communication and documentation, but there are a few regular meetings to make sure we also sync in real time.
• Team members have a high degree of autonomy and are trusted to self-organise their schedules and interaction points to a large degree. This means that you need to be driven and self-motivated to perform without constant oversight.
• The team fully owns and operates their apps end-to-end. “You build it, you run it.”
• We're a lean team and we value pragmatic, maintainable solutions.

You'll be a member of a cross-functional team, whose responsibilities include (besides the obvious "writing code"):

• Operating your app(s) using various observability tools like Grafana or Sentry, as well as ensuring that there's an appropriate amount of logging, instrumentation and alerting.
• Writing internal docs and keeping the docs up to date.
• Ensuring adequate test coverage with unit or end to end tests.
• Engaging in design or standardisation discussions, then documenting and implementing the decisions.
• Maintaining CI/CD pipelines for your app(s) and making sure they stay fast, efficient and reliable.
• Maintaining infrastructure for your app(s) with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Pulumi).

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience building and operating software applications.
• Excellent written and spoken English and ability to communicate well.
• Expert knowledge of at least one modern, strongly typed programming language such as TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java or C#.
• Experience with testing, debugging, troubleshooting, optimizing and identifying possible failures.
• Understanding of computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, API design.

Bonus points (you should satisfy some of these)

• Experience working in a full remote environment.
• Experience with server-side Node.js development in TypeScript.
• Experience in designing distributed systems, familiarity with integration patterns.
• Experience in designing and implementing REST APIs.
• Experience in implementing client-side apps or full-stack development.
• Experience working with cloud platforms, familiarity with cloud concepts.
• Experience in SQL, familiarity with common relational database concepts.
• Experience with DevOps tooling and infrastructure as code (Pulumi, Terraform, ...).
• Experience with OpenTelemetry or other observability tooling.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm.
• Experience with Cloudflare Workers.
• Familiarity with the web and technologies such as web browsers, HTTP, JavaScript.
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts, GitHub Actions.
