Are you an experienced engineer looking for a challenging role where you can witness the impact of your solutions immediately? We are hiring an experienced Backend engineer joining our engineering team currently consisting of roughly ten engineers.

• You develop, maintain, and optimize our robust backend services using NestJS and TypeScript technologies. You constantly improve our existing code base, making it better every day.
• Together with the team you own the backend architecture and constantly challenge and iterate on it.
• You write a lot of complex business logic, so understanding the requirements and testing your implementation are crucial. You debug and analyze in case we have issues.
• You design complex data models and write challenging SQL queries. You love relational databases and know how to debug the performance of SQL queries.
• You ship code every day by releasing using our automated CI/CD processes. You help to improve this CI/CD process constantly.
• You work in our agile environment where we develop code iteratively, mostly serving APIs which are consumed by our frontends and mobile application.
• You work together in a cross functional way with Frontend-Developers, Designers, Testers, and a Product Manager to deliver customer value every cycle.
• You help to improve our approaches and processes. You contribute by improving our codebases and advocating for best practices in code quality through active participation in code reviews.
• Our Tech stack is on the Backend TypeScript (with NestJS, Prisma and TypeORM), Postgres (on AWS RDS), AWS ECS (for container orchestration). On our Frontends we use recent Typescript and Angular. We use Gitlab for CI/CD and Terraform for IaaC.

To be successful in the role, we think you need the following profile. Please also consider applying if you don’t match fully but you still think you are a good fit:

• You have at least three years of experience working in JavaScript or TypeScript on the backend, ideally using modern frameworks like NestJS.

• You have significant experience with Relational SQL Databases (preferably Postgres) and ORMs in production systems and understand Data Modeling and Performance Analysis on Databases.
• You understand cloud platforms (i.e., AWS) enough to operate software in production.
• You are a pragmatic person, and you know when to cut corners and when to invest. You put yourself into the shoes of our customers to make clever business decisions.
• You value and practice clear, upfront, and transparent communication (in English) within Slack, meetings, and documents.
