• Improve scalability and technical performance of our API and its response times
• Work on a high-scalable product in the AWS ecosystem
• Draft architectural decisions together with our Tech Lead and explore new technologies
• Have a direct impact on team processes by regular agile retrospectives
• Exchange your knowledge with other developers and be part of our ABOUT YOU TECH community

Who you are

• You have 5+ years of experience in building complex backend API’s
• You are very proficient in Go development
• You have good knowledge of Elasticsearch and indexing products
• You have experience in working with relational databases (e.g. MySQL) and key-value stores (e.g. Redis)
• You write well-structured, efficient and maintainable code and actively keep the quality of the codebase in check
• You have excellent analytical and problem-solving skills and enjoy building scalable distributed systems
• You are used to working in an English speaking & agile environment

Nice to have:

• You are familiar with centralized logging, monitoring, and alerting solutions
• You understand DevOps, Containerization and Cloud solutions
