We have an exciting opportunity to join our Engineering team in Romania and are currently looking for a Software Engineer to join the team. 

What you should know about our Engineering team:

• We make room to do things the right way, rather than hacking stuff in.
• You own your projects: you build it, you ship it, you run it.
• We were born in the cloud: practices like CI/CD, IaC, O11y and CyberSec are part of what we do.

When it comes to Learning and Development:

• Thought pioneers regularly give tailored talks and workshops for our team.
• We have both a technical and management track for career progression and promotions.
• We have a library of books and videos with good content and encourage staying on top of new practices. 

In terms of our tech stack, we host our docker containerized apps on AWS in EKS Kubernetes. In the containers, we run a mix of NodeJs/Typescript and Kotlin on the JVM. We use PostgreSQL for our services and MongoDB for the legacy monolith.

Key requirements:

• At least 4 years of experience with strong skills in TypeScript and Node.js, with exposure to React;
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS); experience with PostgresSQL;
• Experience with Kubernetes for container orchestration and deployment management;
• Proven track record with high-load systems and distributed architectures;
• Ability to troubleshoot performance issues and optimize backend systems;
• Strong communication skills with the ability to mentor and collaborate across teams.

Key responsibilities:

• Build and deliver high-quality product features as part of a collaborative engineering team;
• Write clean, maintainable code and follow best practices for secure software development;
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, stand-ups, and reviews to support effective delivery;
• Apply continuous delivery practices, including automated testing and clear, concise pull requests;
• Help maintain high standards of performance, reliability, security, and product quality;
• Take part in technical design and architecture discussions and contribute to engineering improvements.
