About the team
We are a backend focused team that works on the GraphQL API and contributes to the core of our product while engaging with our Open Source libraries where needed. We implement and operate different tools to support other product teams in their journey. From development (GraphQL schema validations) to production (operating a GraphQL gateway), through a continuous deployment (automatic checks for breaking changes, automation of the documentation…)

The team is using the Rust programming language to build web services. But, as many other teams are using Scala, we are also using this language when supporting them. We are also occasionally touching other tools in the GraphQL ecosystem written in JavaScript and TypeScript.
In this role, you will be:
- Building and deploying backend rust services for GraphQL federation and other transversal features like reference expansion.
- Helping maintain some open-source libraries like Sangria written in Scala.
- Be part of our on-call rotations.
- Working collaboratively with a high degree of autonomy in a group of international peers on a rapidly growing product using cutting-edge technologies.
- Making progress faster by incrementally introducing new features, deploying applications and services multiple times a day.
- Having a chance to get dedicated time to experiment with new technologies and ideas (known as Tech Time) as well as have a professional development budget at your disposal.
- Having a chance to attend and speak at conferences and meetups, write articles, etc. as well as get assistance and support to get started on this matter.
- Mentoring or being mentored, sharing your experience and knowledge with other developers.
What you need to be successful:
- See the value in maintainable software through various methods such as clean code, type checking, integration testing, documentation and knowledge sharing.
- Experience in building modern and scalable backend services in Rust.
- Experience with cloud platforms such as GCP or AWS.
- Experience working with and consuming REST or GraphQL APIs.
- Experience in defining, working with, and optimizing CI pipelines, as well as deploying services with Kubernetes.
- Ability to bring your ideas and be proactive in proposing solutions and improvements to the codebase.
Nice to have:
- Familiarity with Scala or other JVM languages such as Kotlin, with an affinity for functional programming.
