Now we are looking for a Senior Backend Developer

Requirements

We are looking for a generalist rather than a specialist in a single stack, with a demonstrated ability and passion for learning more tools. We are making an effort to innovate and upgrade, but for that, we need some help.

You are good at expressing your thoughts both written and verbally.
You listen to and appreciate opposing viewpoints and feel comfortable working with a multicultural, distributed team.

You’re a team player who treats others with respect and empathy. You will be a part of our 3Cs culture and follow our values: Collaborating, Courageous, Caring. Also, you like challenging and being challenged when it comes to technical questions – and you’re happy to share what you know with your colleagues. You appreciate the benefits of good documentation and communication.

All in all, our ideal candidate is a pragmatic problem-solver looking for solutions that are in the best interest of the team and the company, given the constraints at hand.

Must-have requirements

• At least the equivalent of 5 years of experience working with Python (other languages also accepted, if a transition is desired)
• Sharing a GitHub profile with projects is a big plus
• Knowledge of any of tools such as OpenSearch, ClickHouse, DynamoDB, or Cassandra
• Experience in working with AWS or other cloud vendors
• Experience working with container orchestration technologies (e.g. Kubernetes)
• Experience using a web framework like FastAPI
• Experience working in event-driven architectures
• Fluent in English in speaking and writing

• Knowledge of a second programming language
• BSc or MSc in computer science, data science, engineering, or a similar discipline
• Experience with data pipelines is a plus
  

Tasks

• Create effective backend infrastructure and processes to manage large amounts of data and requests.
• Work on our internal, event-driven pipeline, to support additional data processing
• Work on more than one project in a Service Oriented Architecture.

Technologies we frequently use in our company are PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, OpenSearch, Docker, Kubernetes, Dapr and AWS (although initially you are not expected to know all of these, you’ll learn about them as you work at Legentic).

Benefits

• Great working culture
• Flexibility: Join the local office 2–3 days a week, combined with working remotely
• International environment
• Self-learning: You get your own budget for personal development
• Mentoring: You’ll get mentored by one of your experienced colleagues through the first months
• Company laptop
• Share Purchase Program: Opportunity to buy shares in the company
