How will you do that?
You will be working on our product, a combination of IoT platform, SaaS product, Data Science engine, and tooling provider for our Energy Consultants. You’ll interact with developers, data scientists, and product managers to ensure your solutions are solving problems that matter. This combination of different expertise across our engineering teams makes it essential to share your knowledge with your colleagues, discuss tech solutions, and help each other improve. This is what we mean when we say “Teamwork” is part of our values.
Our company and the products we develop are growing at a high pace. We can’t have the luxury of slowing down with faulty and buggy code, so while building excellent features, you’ll create documentation for systems you work on, covering them with pragmatic tests and avoiding technical debt. Code and process reviews will also be essential to your work because “Constant Improvement” is part of our values.
We believe that everything we do starts with the “why”. You can not own what you code without understanding and believing it. Our sprints are not collections of tickets. They are a step toward a bigger goal, and every coworker is responsible for the final result. This is why “ownership” is our fundamental value.
Technologies you will be working withOur core platform is based on a microservices architecture using Node.js as the runtime environment platform, being our services built using Nodejs. These microservices are deployed in Kubernetes (AWS is our cloud infrastructure provider). Our platform offers our customers real-time data collection and analysis by adopting a streaming architecture. We use Kotlin as the programming language for the services interacting directly with Kafka.
A significant portion of our business logic uses lambda functions. Data is accessible through GraphQL APIs managed by Hasura. Time series data is stored with ClickHouse, and for other data, we use a combination of Postgres(metadata) and S3 (raw data).
Our source code is on GitLab, and we use GitLab and ArgoCD for CI/CD purposes. Prometheus and Grafana are our main monitoring tools.
You do not need to be an expert in every technology mentioned here, but transparency is another of our values, so we want you to know what you are applying.
You are perfect for the job because ... 2 to 5 years of experience as a backend developer, preferably using a similar stack to ours.
Have solid experience as a backend developer and knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals. This also means you are familiar with professional software engineering practices (version control, merge requests, testing, code standards, CI/CD).
Proven track record designing complex systems from an architectural point of view (as part of a team). It is even better if you also have worked with specifics of our tech, like streaming architectures and GraphQL.
Are you familiar with RFC? You will have the opportunity to dedicate enough time to think before coding in Sensorfact.
Understand the operational concerns for cloud-based software deployments, preferably involving microservices, web apps, and streaming. We have a DevOps team for support, going the extra mile with you.
You like interacting with stakeholders and colleagues to design solutions and discuss priorities. The big picture is something that matters to you.
