Job Description

This is a full-time position for a backend engineer for IT consultancy services but also in-house product development aiming to re-humanize IT. The engineer has a passion for startups and is also able to take part in the materials on our Wantedly page. Full time on remote is possible depending on the candidate.

As a Backend Engineer, you'll join our team in crafting our efficient, stateless, and elegant gRPC/JSON web APIs, and build and maintain the infrastructure to host them together with our customers.

We believe that you prefer languages such as Go or Python, working with the latest communication protocols such as gRPC and QUIC, and center your stack around open source technologies and Linux. Perhaps you like Docker and Kubernetes just as we do?

You'll take advantage of many of the latest trends in technology. Examples of technologies we've recently used include data stream processing at scale with Kafka, container orchestration with Kubernetes on GCP, graph-based databases such as Dgraph, Mosquitto for IoT integrations, and using Hyperledger Fabric for Blockchain storage. We also hope that you're passionate about choosing the right tool for the problem no matter if it's Golang, Python, Node.js, or perhaps something else - just like us.
