Are you an experienced Java, PHP, C#, C++, Ruby, Python developer looking to make an exciting change: ditching the monolith and building new Golang microservices?
We are looking for a Senior Back-end Engineer to join our team in Newmarket. You are expected to perform at a high level and make strong contributions to the team in rapidly and efficiently building solutions to our retailers' problems, focusing on iteration, experimentation, and stability. This role will focus on the back-end, but you may get involved in front-end work if you show interest.
You do not need to be an expert in Golang but you must be willing to learn, and you'll have our full support on this journey.
Responsibilities: Build new features on top of a modern stack, consisting of web apps (in a mix of Angular & React) communicating through APIs to Go services, backed by databases and Kafka topics, all deployed using Docker in a continuous delivery cycle to AWS.
Participate in coding, delivering new features, code reviews, fixing bugs, peer programming, and incident response.
Own and be accountable for features and high-leverage coding projects.
Structure projects into small, actionable tasks to deliver the most value in no time.
Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to help plan the work ahead.
Learn and teach: knowledge sharing, chapter reviews, demos, mentoring fellow engineers.
Work on common services, shared libraries, upgrade/introduce new tooling or libraries, documentation, evolve best practices and processes.
What you need to bring: Senior level of experience as a Back-end Engineer including both successes and failures ("scars"), which help you make better decisions.
Deep knowledge in at least one of the following: Golang, Java, PHP, C#, C++, Ruby, Python, Elixir.
Experience in working on major systems in one or more languages: ideally you've built REST API endpoints on top of data storage layers, and understand concepts like authentication, web security, and the way that frontends consume APIs.
Ability to mentor and train other Engineers in the team.
We know that people are more than what's on their CV. If you're unsure that you have the right profile for the role... hit the 'Apply' button and give it a try!
