Junior Backend Developer

About us:

Marlowe Marketplace is a 36-person team running a niche online store for vintage audio parts. Growth has come from search and word of mouth, not paid ads.

Looking for a Junior Backend Developer who wants to stay somewhere for a while. Backend role focused on API design, data modelling and making slow things fast.

What you'll be doing:

• Review code for correctness, performance and failure handling
• Add caching with Redis where it actually helps, and remove it where it doesn't
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB
• Tune slow queries, add indexes and read query plans
• Handle on-call for services the team owns and lead incident follow-ups
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ

You'll need:

• 0-2 years of backend development experience in a production environment
• Proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, C# or Node.js
• Experience designing and versioning HTTP APIs
• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP or Azure services
• Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines
