The position

Juneberry Commerce is looking for a Backend Developer to join a small, steady team. Backend role focused on API design, data modelling and making slow things fast. The operations team owns services that process several million requests a day. We need another engineer who is comfortable owning them in production. Remote position. Most of the team is in Brisbane, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

In this role you will

Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB. Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current. Design and build REST and gRPC APIs in Go, Java or Python. Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers. Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't. Reduce cloud costs by right-sizing services and cleaning up unused resources. Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans.

Minimum qualifications

3+ years of backend development experience in a production environment. Proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, C# or Node.js. Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines. Working knowledge of message queues or streaming platforms. Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP or Azure services. Comfort reading logs, metrics and traces to debug problems in production.

Preferred

Elasticsearch or OpenSearch. Terraform or Pulumi. Prior work breaking up a monolith.
