What You Will Do

(Main duties to be listed here)

• The Core Marketplace team is part of Core and Commons tribe at TheFork whose mission is to provide transversal functional capabilities to be consumed by all tribes. Its mission is to build and maintain all the technical blocks necessary to provide customer facing functionalities aimed at our B2C and B2B customers.
• The team’s scope includes bookings, offers and availability.
• The team is not directly in charge of implementing the new features for the end user. Instead, in addition to its own projects, the team will support the “customer‑facing” teams by providing new capabilities in the core components if something is missing, but also testing, documentation & good practices.
• The Core Marketplace team is composed of 4 engineers, mostly senior profiles. The team is distributed across different locations (France, Italy and with contractors in Romania as well).
• The technical stack used by the team:

• React & GraphQL for web front‑end
• NodeJS & Typescript for backend services structured in a microservice‑based architecture
• JSON RPC for internal communications with services
• PHP / Symfony for a few legacy components that are being decommissioned
• Storage is mostly handled by PostgreSQL & ElasticSearch
• Domain events are propagated through RabbitMQ as an event bus
• Our websites and servers are monitored with Datadog for 24x7 operations and ease of troubleshooting
• We are 100% Kubernetes & AWS for orchestration & hosting

• As a senior backend engineer in the team, you are expected to contribute to the team’s roadmap:
• Working closely with our product manager on the functional and technical discovery of new features (understanding requirements, defining technical analysis and scoping the technical tasks)
• Working closely with your fellow senior engineers on the development and delivery of these features
• Helping our QA team during testing and validation
• Collaborating transversally with other teams from all the tribes across the engineering department to build cross functional functionalities
• Producing relevant documentation for the team’s scope
• Continuously enhancing the team’s processes and KPIs

Who You Are

You Must Meet These Critical Qualifications

• You are a senior software engineer with relevant years of experience building backend services and applications.

• You have experience building software with a problem‑solving approach leveraging customer inputs in an iterative manner (Product Discovery).
• You understand that writing code is not your only job; you also challenge product and stakeholder decisions, think first with some analysis phase, monitor after release, write documentation, and communicate about what is now available.
• You have experience with architectural patterns of large‑scale applications and coding good practices such as DDD, TDD, BDD.
• You are comfortable writing and speaking in English.
