What will you be doing

You will be working with our frontend teams to build the APIs that drive our app. Your work will have a direct impact on the performance and success of our product.

As a senior member of the team, if not leading the team itself (at some point) we expect you to take ownership of your part of the stack. This means proactively suggest, plan and execute on tasks together with your fellow team members.

As you will be working tightly with the frontend teams and consume data from the back office side, you will also need to communicate both with product management and the other teams to fully grasp and ensure the solutions that are built fulfil the requirements.

If you are able to help and guide the app side to build better architectures in terms A/B testing, backwards compatibility and configuration that is also a huge merit.

You will be coding in Python in a GCP (Google cloud platform) Kubernetes and Cloud run infrastructure. Most work is API related but we also have some work in HTML and VueJS.

We expect everyone to pitch in and make sure services are continuously running, fixing issues when they crop up, working on bugs and doing testing both automated and manual.

As a senior, you will be actively pulling in work yourself, planning what to do together with other teams, product management and design. You will also be helping and mentoring junior members on the team and collaborating with other coworkers to improve our working environment, both in terms of a development environment and culture.
