THE ROLE
As a Backend Engineer you’ll work closely with the rest of the team
to progress Trouva’s technology platform. The challenge is diverse:
you’ll have the opportunity to work on inventory management, order
processing, internal communication tools, but also, and maybe most
importantly, on creating an alternative shopping experience for the
Trouva customer.
We are a full-stack Javascript team utilising a one-language for all
approach that allows us to work together efficiently and provide great
experiences. It also means that we get to play with shiny new things
often which we’re quite happy about. In the end though, we are product
engineers and are driven by providing the best possible experience to
our customers.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
You should have some experience/experimentation with Javascript on
the server-side. You should be able to discuss Node.js and understand
situations where it would be appropriate.
If Javascript is not your primary language, then experience with
multiple languages and demonstrable ability to pickup new languages
without significant hand-holding is key.
Experience working with or at least a solid understanding of
configuration management tools such as Ansible, Puppet, Chef.
Understanding of the role of load balancers and DNS, able to setup a
basic infrastructure with some direction.
Experience running something on AWS, from a CDN/S3, Beanstalk
application, Lambda function either for a production application or a
hobby project. Similar experience with another cloud provider is also a
plus.
Experience having designed at least one API or subset of
functionality from scratch. Able to discuss needs from both server side
implementation and client side needs. A core belief in clean
documentation, being able to setup tooling around it and to gain
consensus for a certain approach is key.
Experience working with CI/CD, able to discuss different testing
approaches and have a good understanding of difference between things
like unit/integration tests.
