How we work:

As the biggest marketplace for special items, Catawiki operates in a domain that brings plenty of unusual challenges and opportunities. You will develop, test, and scale our microservices, mostly written in Ruby, to handle the high volume of requests served by the platform every single day. We do this by using Infrastructure as Code principles, collaborative peer reviews, continuous delivery, A/B testing every assumption, and using the observability and monitoring tools already in place. We make mistakes, learn valuable lessons from them, and focus on recovering and iterating quickly.

What you’ll do:

Here at Catawiki, you will make an impact by improving and delivering product innovations for the Catawiki platform. Along with other members of the Development team, you will build scalable microservices while measuring and monitoring system performance. In addition, you will use experimentation backed by data analysis to add product features and deliver the best user experience on the platform.

• Experience designing, implementing and deploying backend services with a focus on high availability, low latency, and consistency.
• Proven experience collaborating closely with other engineers to become a valued member of an autonomous, cross‑functional team.
• Mentored junior engineers and enjoy cooperating with engineers throughout the company.
• Understand the value that you can add to the business, the product and the impact of your work on customers.
• Feel comfortable documenting RFCs and describing problems, opportunities, pros and cons of solution alternatives.

As a passionate engineer, you bring these values to Catawiki:

• You are a passionate experienced engineer with a strong eye for detail.
• You strive to be a great team player and don’t shy away from new challenges.
• You are comfortable in a startup environment and are ready to jump in and help if needed.
