About The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to be a core part of our evolution from the world’s largest D2C sleep brand into a global SleepTech powerhouse.

• You will implement backend services in a services-oriented architecture (API first) in a cloud-native environment (AWS).
• You will fully own, i.e. develop, maintain and operate your team’s tech stack.
• You will be a team player as part of an agile, empowered team and contribute to the development of fellow engineers.
• You will contribute to the improvement of our CI&CD and DevOps & SRE practices.
• You will take part in recruitment processes to grow our tech team.

Required Qualifications

• You have experience designing and delivering APIs and backend services meeting highest software quality standards.
• You have extensive knowledge of computer science fundamentals, incl. data structures, object-oriented programming, and software design patterns.
• You have several years of proven experience in software development and operation practices covering the full software development lifecycle, ideally in an E-commerce business.
• You have a deep understanding in object-oriented development and/or JavaScript/ Typescript.
• You ideally have experience with multiple databases (RDMBS, NoSQL, Redis, ...) and messaging services (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS ...), run in a cloud (e.g. AWS).
• You have a good understanding of the importance of well-organized codebase and documentation.
• You have the capability of implementing unit, integration, end-to-end and load tests.
• You have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer or Electrical Engineering, Business Informatics or equivalency in relevant work experience.
• You are highly self-organized and interested in taking over ownership and bringing the team to the best solution.
• You have strong analytical skills and are an open-minded and creative team player.
