Software Developer

Orders are packed by hand for two carrier pickups a day, and customer emails go to whoever is free. Hobbyists in the UK make up most of our customers, and many have been buying since the beginning. Core hours are 10 to 3, and the rest of the day is flexible.

The role

Albion Web is looking for a Software Developer to join a small, steady team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. We hire in Japan through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Main duties

• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.

Who you are

• 2-4 years of professional software development experience.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.

Nice to have

• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain.

Perks and benefits

• Co-working space stipend.
• Public holidays observed per your country.
• Flexible hours.
• Performance bonus.
• Company laptop.

We are reviewing applications as they arrive, so apply early.

Start: Immediately.
