Job Description

How are we working in the tutti.ch/anibis.ch Backend Team?

We work in stream-aligned product teams using the SCRUM methodology. Each team includes 2–3 Backend Engineers, a Product Owner, an Engineering Manager, Designers, and Mobile and Web Engineers.

Our setup encourages close collaboration with Platform (Infrastructure) and Data (BI) teams, with domain ownership sitting firmly within each product team. Engineers are responsible for design, implementation, deployment, and monitoring.

We run Go-based backend services on AWS with Kubernetes, deploying daily to over 300k users. Code is reviewed and deployed directly from GitHub.

Our stack includes PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, SendGrid (emails), and Auth0 (authentication). We maintain high test coverage using tools like Testify, with integration tests for databases, Redis, and Kafka.

Qualifications

What will you bring to the ride?

You should have a solid background in Go programming, with 2–5 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining applications in Go.

Real-world experience delivering web services

A positive attitude and passion for your craft matter more than checking every box.

We value pragmatic, empathetic team members who strive to understand others before seeking to be understood

Bonus point if you have experience with:

• Full-text search (e.g., Elasticsearch)

• Relational databases at scale (e.g., PostgreSQL)

• Service orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

• Cloud services, especially AWS

We value individuality and the unique contributions of every team member. No matter your background or experience, we encourage you to apply—even if you don’t check every box. Together, we embrace growth, celebrate differences, and create lasting impact.

Additional Information

What do we offer?

• Learning Boost: Training and conference budgets to sharpen your skills.

• Growth Opportunities: Advance professionally and unleash your creativity.

• Global Team: Collaborate with diverse talent worldwide.

• Flexible Work: Up to 3 home office days weekly for ultimate comfort.

• Celebrations: Unforgettable annual parties.

• Office Perks: Fresh fruit, coffee, and top-notch gear like a MacBook Pro.

• Swiss Visits: Regular trips to our scenic Swiss offices.

• Extra Time Off: 12 recovery days plus 25 holidays for well-deserved rest.

Recruitment Process

For this job position, you need to be located in France (Sophia-Antipolis near Nice) or willing to relocate, and have a valid work permit.

We believe hiring is a two-way street, where both parties get to know each other. Here's what you can expect:
