Come work for us!
Senior Backend Web Developer - London
What we are looking for
We are looking for a senior software engineer with experience in running large-scale web projects and an understanding of software architecture, API development, and infrastructure considerations to join our small team. You will work closely with the platform team on a variety of tasks, such as:
- Developing our public API and recommending improvements based on your experience with other APIs etc.
- Supporting and advising on our migration from a monolithic architecture to a microservices architecture. It is important you have experience of a modern services-based architecture running at scale
- Architecting and developing new services and products, in consultation with our operations and sales teams, which may be exposed to customers via public APIs or internal service APIs
Our stack
- For our backend services, we use a mixture of Python and Go, with our legacy application written in Objective C
- Our stack runs on Kubernetes in GKE, with a legacy system running on-premises on FreeBSD
- We use CI pipelines to test our code and build deployment images, and are looking to expand that capability with full CI/CD with a service mesh
We still have a large legacy Objective-C code base which needs to be actively developed to ensure we move fast. We need someone who is prepared to get stuck in to whatever is needed to get the job done. You will have in-depth knowledge of at least one of the languages used in our stack and an interest in helping our team shape the software we build with your expertise and understanding. The position involves interesting challenges including proposing and building internal APIs, ensuring high transactional throughput, and simplifying the system to prepare our current platform for client growth. We expect you to recommend improvements to our architecture, and to offer solutions using modern tools and development practices. You will need to be able to work closely with others in the development team, product management, and others in the business. Our infrastructure is a mixture of on-premises for our legacy systems and a Kubernetes platform running in GKE, so any experience with system administration and infrastructure development, or a willingness to get involved, will be a plus.
Must Have
- Experience architecting and building backend applications, end to end
- Experience delivering high-scale low latency applications
- Strong database and SQL knowledge
Nice To Have
- DevOps experience
- Experience with CI/CD
- Experience in startup environments and agile-like development
