Senior Backend Engineer

Company overview:

Since 1995, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in Spain. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

Poniente Data is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join a small, steady team. This hire will help us split a large monolith into a handful of well-defined services without breaking anything customers rely on. This role is fully remote within Spain. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

What you'll be doing:

• Write integration and contract tests so API changes don't break consumers
• Model data and write migrations for PostgreSQL, MySQL or DynamoDB
• Coordinate with frontend and mobile engineers on API contracts and versioning
• Implement background jobs and event consumers using Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ

Who you are:

• 5+ 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

Perks and benefits:

€62,000 - €82,000/year

• Remote work allowance
• Flexible start and finish times

This posting may close early if we receive enough applications.

Duration: 3 months. Start: Flexible.
