Software Developer

About us

More than 11,200 employees work on the product, from search ranking to fraud detection. Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it.

Velvetset is hiring a Software Developer to work remotely from Pakistan. Our Core Services team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. The company is based in Madrid, Spain. The team is spread across multiple countries. You will be employed through our employer-of-record partner in Pakistan, with a local contract and salary paid in Pakistani rupees. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

In this role you will

• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• 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.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.

You'll need

• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
