Backend Developer

Who we are

Everything runs on a single Rails app and one Postgres database, deployed on Heroku. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

The role

LE Systems 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. We want someone who writes boring, reliable code and leaves good logs behind. Remote position. Most of the team is in Athens, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday.

Day to day

• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers
• Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans
• Reduce cloud costs by right-sizing services and cleaning up unused resources
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB

Requirements

• 2+ years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Clear written communication, including design docs
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines
• Understanding of concurrency, transactions, idempotency and retries

Also helpful

• Prior work breaking up a monolith
• NoSQL stores such as MongoDB, Cassandra or DynamoDB

What we offer

• Private health insurance
• Remote work allowance
• Stock options
• Flexible start and finish times
• Training budget
• Meal vouchers

Start: Immediately.
