🌟 YOUR ROLE WILL BE
We are looking for someone capable to build and scale the services powering our interactive web application. 🦝
Some context? Well, we are starting to export some services outside from our good old friend “Monolith”. 🏰
Why? Isolate the services which need to be scaled. (performance and volume issues).
Also, we go to API First to get closer to our customers and to isolate our frontend/backend. You know the drill! 😘
As technical lead, you will work closely with Romain (squad product manager) to reach your goals and deliver on time your squad code.
Your future squad → User Journey Tribe is dedicated to build new features to improve the user journey, craft proof of concepts on new projects that focus on the user experience. They are responsible for the front-office and public-office, and their features: LiveFeed, Search, etc.
🌟 YOUR MISSION WILL BE
Practice disciplined software engineering (e.g. automated testing, code reviews, and writing efficiency code).
Develop integrations with 3rd party software programs (Webhooks, API, deep integrations).
Design, develop, test and implement new product features.
We want from you that you try new things. POC is a cool word 🙂
Be a leader on sharing knowledge.
Animate and debate during architecture reviews, find a common ground and deliver the solution.
