Role
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Backend Engineer to join our small backend team. We build services that work — without continuous oversight. Every day we improve our products for our users.
Our backend stack consists of Go and Node.js / TypeScript services, communicating using gRPC. This all culminates in a GraphQL API that is used by our mobile app. We use Kubernetes with the Google Cloud Platform, including its Firestore & Datastore databases, BigQuery, Pub/Sub and more.
Our services deal with the Ethereum blockchain, help manage our payment card, perform our Know Your Customer and Customer Due Diligence tasks and power our mobile app.
For this role you’ll be expected to primarily write Go code, as well as occasionally contribute to our Node.js based services. You shouldn’t be averse to configuring Kubernetes or Google Cloud Platform either if that’s what’s needed to ship.
Requirements
- You have a keen interest in building microservices in Go
- You enjoying building distributed systems
- You have demonstrable experience building backend systems in a service oriented architecture
- You love creating scalable solutions in a fast-paced environment
- You're committed to writing clean, testable and scalable code
- You're good at breaking down problems into smaller pieces whilst keeping your eye on the big picture
- You possess excellent verbal and written communication skills and thrive working within a team
- You're not scared by complexity
- You have a strong bias towards action and a healthy 'can do' attitude
- You are based in the UK (but we can potentially work something out if you’re elsewhere in a European timezone, please let us know)
