Backend Developer (Node.js)

We’re a cutting-edge tech-enabled bank on a mission to revolutionize financing for small businesses across 7 markets in northern Europe. Our innovative solutions aim to simplify access to financing and enable growth for small businesses. As we scale, we are now looking for a Backend Developer to be part of our journey to transform the financial landscape for entrepreneurs.

About The Role

As a Backend Developer working primarily with Node.js, you’ll be part of either our Acquisition team or our Card Services team, which we are both recruiting for. The Acquisition team is responsible for bringing in new customers and onboarding them in the best possible way. The Card Services team works with the core services of our credit card product, where we build supporting functionality for our mobile app and various web applications.

We have big plans for the future, where going live in new markets and attracting more customers is dependent on building features while also making the products easy to use. As a backend developer here at Qred, you play a key role in ensuring that our backend systems are fast, stable and scalable.

Key Responsibilities

• Teamwork and collaboration: Work closely with the team’s developers, Tech Lead and Product Manager to find the best solutions and ensure we meet our goals.
• Test your own code: Take responsibility for the quality of your work by creating and running tests to ensure stability and functionality.
• Drive innovation: With a DevOps mindset, improve our workflows and contribute to the optimization of operations and delivery.
• Promote security and performance: Ensure our systems are secure and perform at their best, even as our user base grows.
  
  
  

Requirements

• Experience: 2-5 years of experience in backend development with Node.js and familiarity with modern workflows such as DevOps and Continuous Delivery.
• Relevant backend skills: A strong understanding of RESTful APIs and micro-service architecture.
• Cloud expertise: Experience working with cloud platforms. We use AWS but it doesn’t specifically have to be AWS experience as long as you have relevant knowledge from other cloud environments.
• Testing skills: Being comfortable writing and executing tests for your own code.
• Communicative and team-oriented mindset: That you like working within a team, enjoy sharing knowledge and contribute to building a strong team spirit.
• Technical curiosity: That you enjoy staying up to date on new technologies and tools in backend development.
• Language skills: Being comfortable using English as your working language and understanding the importance of clear communication in an international environment.
  
  
  

Other Great Experiences

• Cards and payments: If you have previously worked with credit cards, payments or transactions it’d be really valuable to us.
• Java: Even though both these teams do most of their work in Node.js, there are some repositories written in Java around. Having some experience and familiarity with Java helps.
• Serverless: It’s great if you have experience in building and maintaining serverless applications. We do have a serverless setup here and even if it’s not a necessity to have worked with it before, it definitely helps.
• Infrastructure as code: It’d be awesome if you have worked with infrastructure as code before or you are curious about it.
