You must have:
- Experience with databases and data management – Ideally you have solid experience with relational databases and data search technologies.
- Experience with Cloud architectures and best practices – You will need to have at least basic familiarity with PaaS, FaaS, DBaaS, containers, etc. (in an ideal world: on AWS)
- A passion for writing testable code – you can architect code so critical code paths can be covered with comprehensive, automated test suites.
- Continuous Delivery & Deployment Mindset – You are comfortable with frequently deploying changes to production; right after they end up on the master branch.
- Attention to detail – you have deep interest in figuring out how things work underneath.
It would be great if you have:
- Familiarity with Node.js and Typescript – you can start building production services value with these technologies, or you can quickly learn and get up to speed with them
- Familiarity with “Infrastructure as code” – you do infrastructure deployments with sourced controlled definitions (preferably AWS CloudFormation)
- Experience with building scalable and resilient distributed systems – you have experience with microservice architectures and cloud-native systems that can serve millions of customers globally 24/7
- Security awareness – as you respect user privacy, you always consider security during every phase of development.
Our Services team is responsible for the foundational building blocks on the Craft platform. From databases, authentication, realtime content sync and management, to APIs and everything in-between, this team provides core functionality for other teams so they can conveniently build the brilliant features that our users love in Craft.
As a Backend Engineer at Craft you will be responsible for design, planning, scoping, and implementing services that integrate our mobile and web clients with our core services and data. These API’s need to be highly performant, scalable and reliable and you will need to be familiar with CI/CD and ‘infrastructure as code’ environments. You will mainly be using Node.js and TypeScript but you will also get involved with our cloud-native backend platform using PaaS and serverless on AWS. Familiarity with all these technologies is a real bonus, but we mainly need you to come with a willingness to learn and make impact.
Requirements: Node.js, Relational database, AWS, TypeScript, Infrastructure as Code, AWS CloudFormation, Microservice architecture Additionally: Stock options.
