Senior Backend Engineer

About us

We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios. Everything runs on a single Rails app and one Postgres database, deployed on Heroku. We started in 2011 and have grown to about 20 people. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

The role

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our team in Singapore. We want someone who writes boring, reliable code and leaves good logs behind. The work is on site and cannot be done remotely.

Day to day

• Reduce cloud costs by right-sizing services and cleaning up unused resources.
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ.
• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning.
• Containerize services with Docker and deploy them to Kubernetes or ECS.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of backend development experience in a production environment.
• Strong SQL and relational data modelling skills.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP or Azure services.
• Proficiency in at least one of Go, Java, Kotlin, Python, C# or Node.js.
• Understanding of concurrency, transactions, idempotency and retries.

What you get

• Medical and dental coverage.
• 18 days annual leave.
• Flexible benefits.

Start: Immediately.
