Our engineering team solves one of the most important problems of the modern economy - connecting great people with great jobs. We believe this problem can only be solved with technology, and we developed a software platform that has supported over 100M job seekers to date (with 5M joining every month). We are looking for a backend engineer to help us build the next chapter of that vision. You may be located anywhere in Germany or Poland and work remotely or out of one of our hub offices.

We designed our R&D structure based on the empowered product teams model. It means our teams are responsible for business outcomes and have autonomy in solving problems in the way that “customers love yet works for the business” (yes, we are heavily influenced by this and this).

Our technology platform is a SaaS product hosted on AWS (and soon also GCP). Our system is composed of hundreds of independent services (each sitting on Docker, orchestrated by Kubernetes).

We build most of our services in Java, Javascript (Node.js), and Python. We have a strong CI/CD culture, and we currently run 40 production deployments per engineer per month.

What you’ll deliver:

Contribute to a full life-cycle of the product (including problem discovery, prototyping, design, implementation, and measuring adoption)
Build services with Java / Node.js (Express, Nest.js) on top of Kubernetes/AWS/GCP infrastructure
Build developer-friendly RESTful APIs
Design and connect to our persistence layer (PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch)
Collaborate with other experience and platform teams

Qualifications

Hands-on experience in building web applications (it would be great to have min. 6 months of commercial experience)
Strong command of Java programming language
Understanding of test-driven development, clean code principles, and design patterns
Basic understanding of persistence layer (SQL, schema design, transactions, indexing)
Basic understanding of HTTP protocol and consuming/exposing REST APIs
Strong command of English language, both written and verbal
