Backend Engineer I

The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS.

You'll work mostly on server-side code: services, queues, databases and the glue between them. Little to no frontend work. Sjælland Labs is hiring for the Backend Engineer I position to build and run the APIs and services behind our web and mobile apps. Remote position. Most of the team is in Aalborg, but nobody is required to come in. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

Day to day:

• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB
• Document APIs in OpenAPI and keep the docs current
• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning
• Instrument services with metrics, structured logs and OpenTelemetry traces

About you:

• 1+ years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Comfort reading logs, metrics and traces to debug problems in production
• Strong SQL and relational data modelling skills
• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP or Azure services
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines

Perks and benefits:

• Occupational pension
• Five weeks of annual leave
• Employee stock options
• Wellness allowance
• Lunch benefit

We may close the role early, so do not wait too long to apply.

Start: Within 30 days.
