Your Role:
Your mission:
As a backend developer, you will be working on the key business challenges. We are a tech platform, so everything we do and everything we want to achieve involves good quality code. Today, some Python using TDD. Tomorrow, clean code in Go and Elixir. Next week, maybe pair programming in Node.js? Feeling like writing a custom Nginx module in plain C? We have that too!
This is a great opportunity to join a passionate team and make substantial impact on the business growth. You will experience supportive team members and the freedom to use your technical expertise and initiative to achieve shared goals. This position requires authentic curiosity and will to learn every day. We focus on quality and maintainability of what we do, in order to maximize the company goals in the long term, while executing urgent tasks with surgical precision when needed. We expect strong organizational skills, critical thinking and enthusiasm for achieving company and self-oriented goals.
Your responsibilities:
Code according to industry and team standards, adhering to good practices
Write maintainable, readable code with extensive test coverage, ideally applying TDD
Work with source control, dev/stage/prod release cycle and continuous integration
Get actively involved in the code and functional reviews of fellow developer’s work
Be able to spot logic and functional issues and effectively communicate feedback
Actively engage with team members to discuss backlog items, design issues, and best coding practices
Create technical documentation
Optimize application for maximum performance, scalability and maintainability
Working and developing RESTful APIs
Be in direct contact with infrastructure topics and understand the systems architecture
Work especially well with green field projects and sometimes with some legacy systems (luckily we already managed to kill most of these)
Your qualification:
Your most important skill...
...is that you are open minded and eager to learn new technologies. You receive and give honest feedback and criticism, never taking it to the personal level, but as a fundamental part of achieving excellency.
We run on a microservices architecture, with containerized services in a very polyglot environment. We expect that you find this incredible, very exciting and maybe a bit scary, but in a good way. Python, Node.js, Elixir, Go, C and PHP are currently used, but we already have plans to introduce others, like Rust, Erlang, Lua and literally anything else that we believe will be a great tool for the task given.
Mandatory:
Backend development, independent of the programming language, but including at least two of the following:
Python
Elixir
Go
Node.js
PHP
Erlang
C
Ruby
Moreover, we highly value the following skills:
Passion for tested software: unit testing, automated tests, TDD

Linux, Bash & command line feels like home to you
Database knowledge (SQL and NoSQL)
Good knowledge of HTTP and RESTful APIs
Adherence to good practices and standards
Focus on quality, maintainability, readability, scalability and performance
Likes to work in an international, multicultural team
Enjoys pair programming, code reviews and knowledge sharing
