Role Overview
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.
Main Responsibilities
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).
