  • Drive application reliability by partnering with Operations and Infrastructure to build, scale, and monitor robust services.
  • Design, develop, test, and debug high-performance software code for mission-critical business applications.
  • Analyze and optimize both frontend and backend codebases to maximize system efficiency and performance.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

  • Professional Experience: At least 5 years of experience architecting and building high-performance, reliable systems within complex, multi-tiered, and distributed environments.
  • Technical Proficiency: Advanced programming skills in modern languages and frameworks, specifically Golang, Node.js, or React, with a deep understanding of object-oriented and functional design principles.
  • System Design & Architecture: Proven ability to contribute to the end-to-end design of new and existing systems, focusing on architectural integrity, design patterns, security, reliability, and horizontal scaling.
  • Software Excellence: Extensive experience applying industry best practices across the full SDLC, including rigorous coding standards, comprehensive code reviews, robust source control management, and automated testing.
  • CI/CD & Operations: Strong track record in operational excellence and continuous deployment, ensuring the seamless delivery of high-quality code.
  • Scalability: Demonstrated success in deploying and maintaining production-grade code at scale.

Bonus Points If

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.
