Job Title: Backend Developer

We are currently seeking a mid-to-senior-career engineer with ironclad coding skills and the proven ability to work effectively, proactively and independently but within the context of a small, self-directed engineering team.

You’ll need to be:

• Fluent in the English language, both spoken and written (however: we don’t mind which version of the English language it is)
• Comfortable working effectively, proactively and independently within the context of a small, self-directed team of developers.
• A fully proactive and self-directed time-management expert, very capable and happy working independently while communicating very regularly with your intercontinental teammates.

What we expect of you:

• Several years of professional experience in software development
• You’ll write lots of Node.js code, incorporating best practices, design patterns and frameworks that will last for years to come.
• Strong experience and understand the ins and outs of JavaScript and Node.js.
• Extensive experience with Git, GitHub and GitLab
• Implement automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
• Create pull requests (While you’re at it, review your teammates’ pull requests too, mentoring the more junior members of our development team.)
• You’ll participate in design sessions with your team members, coming up with the optimum technical solution: one that not only meets business requirements, but does so with performance, scalability and maintainability in mind.
• You’ll innovate. There’s always something we can improve upon, whether it be process or tools or technology choices. If you can dream it, you’ll likely get to build it.
• You have a strong understanding of SQL databases (Postgres, MySQL..), Redis and Elasticsearch

It would be awesome if:

• You have some experience working remotely (but if you’re a clear communicator with rock-solid reliability and you’re curious about making the leap to remote, we’ll guide you through it)
• You understand the AWS / GCP / Docker / K8s services and ecosystem.
• You understand CI tools and implement CD (Delivery/Deployment)
