Wanted Profile
Your Responsibilities:
- As a Back-end developer, we expect you to have an understanding of the current tech environment and help us make the right decisions by understanding business requirements and translating these into strong scalable systems.
- Once the technical design is complete, we expect you to take part in the implementation with the rest of your team. Your focus will be to:
- Architecture and build scrapers and ETL pipelines that ingest the data that power AppTweak

Our Tech team
-Technologies we use We're mainly relying on three different languages: Ruby in the backend (for APIs and crawlers). Typescript in the frontend (for our React SPA). Python (mainly used by our Data Science team). Everything is hosted on AWS and running on K8s, and we have created a robust CI system to develop and deploy our code quickly. We deploy directly from Slack!
-We are organized by squads Some time ago, we changed our internal organization by moving from a structure splitted by stack to something more features-oriented. We created cross-skill squads that are focused on specific parts of the tool to develop and maintain them more efficiently and quickly. Each of them is responsible for its roadmap, and everyone in the squad can participate in product discussions.
-We value ownership and an entrepreneurial mindset
