Backend Developer

PeakTew is a social media app aiming to connect more people with the real world. Our team consists of passionate individuals from over a dozen different countries. This offer is aimed at those willing to take part in a startup project during their free time to learn more about the professional world and gain international work experience. This implies being ready to commit some time every week to the project. 

As a Backend Developer, you will contribute to the app’s development. 

Your missions:

• Contribute at least to one of these 3 components: Backend, Database, and Software architecture.
• Write efficient code for REST API server managing the database, proficient in Go(Lang) & Google Cloud Service, collaborate on Github, and communicate with the team.
• You will have to attend the weekly team meetings to debrief your work.
• Collaborating with multiple teams to ensure system stability, scalability, security, and performance optimization.

This is an online job, meaning that you would be working remotely. You will be required to meet deadlines and produce qualitative work (reflecting the best you can deliver). Yet, we remain available to advise and help you anytime you need. This job will also be unpaid as PeakTew is a student-led project that isn’t (yet) generating revenue. 

This opportunity will enable you to:

• Gain international work experience (valuable on your resume). 
• Grow your worldwide network, mainly in Europe, Asia, and North America.
• Receive high-quality mentorship (hard/soft skills & languages).
• Obtain the opportunity to become a permanent employee in a future Unicorn Company.

Competencies required:

• Have a convenient English level (PeakTew operates in English).
• Be a Computer Science Student or follow a similar academic path with the demanded skills.
• Required to have a decent device for working with a decent network connection.
• The back-end needs the ability to use Go programming language and PostgreSQL database.
• Ability to create different REST API functions for a back-end server as required for the project.
• Knowledge about Google Cloud Services, and server deployment is a plus.
• Familiarity with web sockets is a plus.
• An autonomous mindset (ability to have excellent communication and teamwork)

At PeakTew, we value anyone with true motivation and work consistency. This implies that you do not have to master your skills or have performed several work experiences before. Everyone is here to learn!

If you are passionate about the startup environment and ready to challenge yourself with an ambitious and international project, join our dynamic and growing team on this fabulous adventure!
