Backend Developer

We make a web-based inventory and purchasing system used by independent restaurants, breweries and small food manufacturers. Looking for a Backend Developer who wants to stay somewhere for a while. We want someone who writes boring, reliable code and leaves good logs behind. You'll work mostly on server-side code: services, queues, databases and the glue between them. Little to no frontend work. The company is based in New York City, the US. The team is distributed across several countries. You will be employed through our employer-of-record partner in the UK, with a local contract and salary paid in pounds. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

• Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans.
• Design and build REST and gRPC APIs in Go, Java or Python.
• Secure endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT validation and proper input checks.
• Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current.

Minimum qualifications

• 2+ years of backend development experience in a production environment.
• Strong SQL and relational data modelling skills.
• Comfort reading logs, metrics and traces to debug problems in production.
• Clear written communication, including design docs.

Salary: £78,000 - £89,000 per annum

We offer two weeks of paid leave at year end, paid parental leave, home office setup budget, public holidays observed per your country, performance bonus, annual learning budget and flexible hours.
