Graduate Software Engineer

Alpen Cloud employs 620 people across engineering hubs in Berlin and three other locations, building ERP software for mid-market manufacturers.

About the role:

This is a new position created as the team has grown over the last year. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Our Platform team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. Contract role, full-time hours, paid in USD at the end of each month. Working hours overlap with Central European Time. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Duties:

• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners

Required qualifications:

• 1-2 years of professional software development experience
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL

Perks and benefits:

• Monthly internet allowance
• Long-term engagement
• Paid in USD
• Monthly payments via wire transfer or Wise
