Job Summary

The Junior Backend Engineer will contribute to the development, testing, and maintenance of reliable backend services and APIs for the V-Thru platform. The role will work under the guidance of senior engineers to deliver well-scoped software that meets quality, security, and performance standards while continuously developing technical skills, knowledge, and ownership.

Key Responsibilities

Development & Delivery

  • Implement assigned features, enhancements, and bug fixes across any product domain within the backend, adhering to established coding conventions.
  • Develop and maintain REST APIs and backend services under the direction of senior engineers.
  • Work with the platform's data and infrastructure stack — MySQL, MongoDB, Redis (caching), RabbitMQ (async messaging), and Docker-based local development — using Doctrine ORM/ODM where applicable.

Quality & Testing

  • Write unit and integration tests for all delivered code; treat test coverage as a completion criterion.
  • Write code that is maintainable, readable, and easy to extend.
  • Debug reported issues by reproducing, identifying root cause, resolving, and adding regression coverage.
  • Address feedback from code reviews and static analysis promptly.

Standards & Compliance

  • Adhere to the team's engineering standards and conventions (code style, type safety, exception handling, database access, caching, testing, security, and data privacy).
  • Follow established security, privacy, and secure-coding practices when handling customer and business data.

Technical Competencies

  • Foundational computer-science knowledge — data structures, algorithms, and basic complexity — sufficient to implement well-scoped tasks correctly.
  • Understanding of the software development lifecycle: writing, testing, reviewing, and shipping code.
  • Awareness of common design patterns and core programming principles (e.g., separation of concerns, DRY, SOLID) — able to work within them when applied by the team.
  • Comfort with at least one programming paradigm (object-oriented or functional) and demonstrated ability to learn unfamiliar languages, frameworks, and technologies quickly.
  • Basic familiarity with databases and data modeling (relational and/or NoSQL).
  • Working knowledge of version control (Git), APIs, and automated testing as everyday practices.

Learning & Aptitude

  • Fast learner — picks up unfamiliar languages, tools, and codebases quickly with guidance.
  • Good problem solver — breaks problems into manageable pieces and works toward the root cause.
  • Curious — takes interest in how and why systems work.
  • Adaptable — comfortable with changing tools, paradigms, and requirements.

Behavioral Competencies

  • Coachable — receptive to feedback and quick to apply it.
  • Detail-oriented and disciplined about quality and standards.
  • Clear written and verbal communication in English.
  • Ownership and accountability for assigned work.

Preferred Qualifications (Non-Essential) Competencies

  • Experience with programming language such as Php or Python.
  • Experience with a modern web framework (e.g., Symfony, Laravel, Django, Rails, Spring).
  • Exposure to Docker and containerized development.
  • Familiarity with NoSQL (MongoDB), caching (Redis), or message queues (RabbitMQ).
  • CI/CD exposure; e-commerce or payment-integration experience.

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Equivalent practical experience may also be considered.

Experience

  • 0–2 years of software development experience.
  • Fresh graduates are welcome to apply.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
