Job Description

Are you interested in languages, education and technology, and want to work at one of the world's fastest growing EdTech startups? Then join us and be part of an ambitious and talented team that revolutionises how we learn languages.

About us

At Busuu we have just overcome 100-Million users worldwide and shown that learning a language can be done outside of a classroom. Technology brings learning into our private and business space and to keep us ahead of our competitors, we are looking for motivated talent who will help us reach our next milestone.

Working at that scale is not always an easy task, and we know that there are challenges ahead, so we are looking for someone who wants to become a better version of themself and master the challenge together with us. We want to grow not only into new markets, but also with new features and tools for our social network.

We are looking for passionate people who honestly love solving problems, by questioning the status quo and eager to build a legacy with Busuu.

Our tech stack

Here at Busuu our services are built with PHP and NodeJS, with the code hosted on Amazon AWS. Currently we are moving our code towards a microservice oriented architecture, adapting our code to follow the principles of hexagonal architecture, tactical patterns of DDD and shifting to an Event-Driven architecture. We also care a lot about our tests and we base our effort in testing following the test pyramid.

 What makes an amazing Backend Engineer at Busuu:
  • Good knowledge of OOP and experience building scalable services

  • Experience in data modelling and performance optimisation using relational databases (we use MySQL and PostgreSQL)

  • Solid knowledge of API design, RESTFul or gRPC

  • Exposure to high traffic platforms

  • Experience with SOLID, Design Patterns

  • Experience working with legacy code base and its transition into Microservice Architecture

  • Ability to work outside your comfort zone, take a problem and solve it with as much or as little support as you need

 

Nice to have:

  • Experience working in transactional projects like: payments, promotions, bookings, subscriptions

  • Knowledge of Hexagonal Architecture, DDD, TDD and Event-Driven architectures or willingness to learn and explore them

What can you expect working at Busuu?
