\nWhat you will be working on\n\nAs a Backend Developer, you will work on our Node-based GraphQL API as well as related services (e.g. database/search) and infrastructure based on AWS. Together with the Full Stack Developers in our team, you will work on our core SaaS product, but your focus will not be the implementation of new features, but rather the improvement of our backend services. Example tasks could include refactoring the code structure, switching to a more modern ORM, splitting the backend into multiple services, providing new external-facing APIs, improving our logging infrastructure, and so on.\n\nAbout our tech stack: We have a frontend based on React and a backend written in Node.js. They interface with each other using GraphQL and Apollo. We utilize TypeScript for the entire codebase to improve code quality and reliability. We use relational databases as well as Elasticsearch. We write comprehensive end-to-end tests using Cypress in addition to unit tests. Our infrastructure is based on AWS and Kubernetes. We have a well-functioning CI/CD pipeline and deploy to production multiple times a day.\n\n\nQualities we look for\n\n\n* \n\nAt least 3 years of hands-on software engineering experience\n\n\n* \n\nSubstantial experience working with Node.js\n\n\n* \n\nProfound experience with JavaScript and TypeScript\n\n\n* \n\nGeneralist mindset; eagerness to learn about new technologies and tackle unfamiliar\n\nproblems\n\n\n* \n\nExperience in agile product teams as a contributor\n\n\n* \n\nStartup mindset and pragmatic, hands-on attitude\n\n\n* \n\nFluency in English and good communication skills\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we offer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* \n\nOpportunity to shape a valuable, impactful product in a meaningful way\n\n\n* \n\nFull ownership over your responsibilities and tasks\n\n\n* \n\nOffice centrally located in Berlin Mitte, near Rosenthaler Platz (but currently most of\n\nus work remotely)\n\n\n* \n\nCasual startup environment with no bureaucracy and no complex processes\n\n\n* \n\nCompetitive compensation\n\n\n* \n\nFlexible working hours and working from home policy\n\n\n* \n\nHardware of your choice (e.g. Macbook Pro)\n\n\n\n
