Backend Developer, SaaS (f/*/m)

• The challenge of working on high-scale and high-performance sites powering billions of turn-over sounds exciting for you
• You strive for being in charge of unifying the handling of many different microservices and providing excellent frontend performance
• The idea of developing a platform targeted for other developers — providing a cloud platform and API for them — is something that inspires you

⚙️ Our stack is made up of React (plain and TypeScript) and Next.js in the frontend, plus MaterialUI, SCSS, and Tailwind. PHP with Symfony and Node.js in the backend. MySQL and CouchDB as databases.

• PHP — knowledge of Symfony or a similar framework is a plus
• Testing PHP code: domain logic with unit tests, and the most critical user paths with end-to-end tests
• Relational databases, document-based databases, and/or key-value storages
• Infrastructure automation tooling, knowing Ansible and Terraform in particular would be a plus
• Managing and scaling node.js servers
• Go and Bash would be a plus, but not required

“We're a genuine team. When we come across challenges, we make sure that we can always rely on each other's strengths and openness — both within the team and beyond the team.” — Klaudija, Frontend Developer

• Assist the team in finishing the first version of our new Cloud Function extension points
• Familiarize yourself with the stack
• Release your first library or API addition to production
• Bond with your team members and the product team you closely collaborate with
• Discuss future features with the Product team to build a shared understanding and communicate technical trade-offs of potential implementations

• A remote setup and processes tailored for remote workers
• The freedom of planning your work around life and not the other way round — we want you to bring your full self to work, and this includes owning your daily routines
• A company laptop of your choice and a personal budget for any additional equipment you need — you'll be able to purchase it yourself with a virtual company credit card
• A 5-day yearly retreat where we meet with the whole team and spend time together at a beautiful place for additional social bonding
• The option for our teams to meet for co-working or team-only retreats, including all travel and accommodation costs
