About the role

The previous person in this role moved to another team. Our Developer Experience team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. The company is based in Düsseldorf, Germany. The team is spread across multiple countries. We hire in the US through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. Working hours overlap with Central European Time. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

Day to day

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.

Minimum qualifications

• 1-2 years of professional software development experience.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred qualifications

• Prior work at an early-stage startup.
• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
• Contributions to open source projects.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.

The salary range for this role is $97,000-$125,000 per year. This range reflects base salary only.
