Job description

As a Backend Engineer, you independently plan, develop, implement and test software programs that are easy to maintain, modular, well documented, and resource efficient

As a Backend Engineer, you will:

Be a core member of the Backend Engineering team and maintain our best-in-class product, a Java based micro-services architecture that is fully cloud hosted on AWS.

Work alongside other engineers on the team to maintain technology standards and participate actively in code reviews, assisting with the application of standards around i.e. software quality, security, and correctness.

Perform operational procedures, including ongoing maintenance, on runtime systems, both manual and automated, in accordance with company standards.

Participate in the broader process of defining system architecture - both in terms of software and systems.

Provide recommendations for continuous improvement to the product and delivery process.

Our Technical Environment

Our next generation payments platform has been developed using Java – specifically leveraging the Spring Boot framework

Our infrastructure is hosted on AWS; using a mixture of containerization (Fargate) and vanilla EC2

We use Amazon MQ (RabbitMQ) as message broker to enable asynchronous communication between services

Our systems are secure and highly available – we have implemented passive and active monitoring and incident escalation using a combination of Datadog, CloudWatch Logs and Metrics, Postman, and Pagerduty

We utilise GraphQL (leveraging Apollo and Hasura) to open up our rich data model to internal and external stakeholders

We develop frontend systems using the Vue, Angular, and Ionic frameworks

We aggregate and analyze logs from all of our systems via the ELK stack

Our operating system of choice is CentOS and our DevSecOps team is fanatical about security, monitoring, and patch management

Our infrastructure is immutable and managed using IaC principles via Terraform

We leverage build automation (specifically CircleCI), and we’re working toward continuous deployment across all environments

We take advantage of AWS services to meet our various technology requirements:

PostgreSQL databases run on Aurora Serverless or Aurora clusters managed via RDS

Redis clusters are managed via ElastiCache

KMS provides managed security services

AWS Lambda and API Gateway support our serverless infrastructure; DynamoDB is also an important part of our stack

We utilise highly durable messaging technologies such as SQS, Kinesis, Amazon MQ and AWS EventBridge

Requirements

5+ years’ software development or programming experience, with an in-depth understanding of distributed systems

Good working experience with Java(8 or later), with experince in Spring Boot Framework and SQL

Solid grasp of computer science fundamentals, specifically data structures and algorithms.

Working knowledge of a modern software development lifecycle management methodology, such as SCRUM
