Solid grasp of async patterns, concurrency, and performance optimization. * Event-Driven Architecture: Deep, hands-on experience designing and implementing event-driven systems with messaging patterns (Kafka, RabbitMQ, GCP Pub/Sub, or Redis Streams). You understand eventual consistency, saga patterns, and can articulate trade-offs. * Microservices Architecture: Proven track record building, deploying, and scaling microservice-based systems in production. You know when to split services, how to handle distributed transactions, and how to avoid common microservices pitfalls. * GCP Hands-On Experience: Real production experience with GCP, not just familiarity. You've worked with GKE, Cloud SQL, Memorystore, Cloud Storage, Secret Manager, and can navigate the GCP ecosystem confidently. Additional Technical Skills * Extensive experience with SQL databases (PostgreSQL preferred) * Strong foundation in RESTful API design * Proficiency with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) * Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Cloud Build, or similar) * Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or similar tools * Node.js/TypeScript experience is a plus (our current backend stack) * Understanding of observability: structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics, and alerting * Knowledge of API security, authentication/authorization (OAuth 2.0, JWT), and data protection * Experience with workflow orchestration (Temporal or similar) is a strong plus Mindset & Approach 0 * 1 Production Experience: You've been through production launches before and know what it takes - setting up infrastructure, handling edge cases, ensuring reliability, and managing the inevitable surprises. * Pragmatic Perfectionism: You balance technical excellence with business velocity, you know when to refactor and when to ship quickly. * Ownership Mentality: You're proactive, resourceful, and accountable for your work, you don't wait to be told what to do. * Team Player: You collaborate well with others, give and receive feedback gracefully, and elevate those around you. * Systems Thinking: You understand how components interact, design for reliability and maintainability, and think beyond your immediate feature. * Clear Communication: You can explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders, document your work, and participate constructively in technical discussions. * Continuous Learner: You stay current with industry trends, experiment with new technologies, and are energized by technical challenges. ## Description Buying property (and financing it) is probably the biggest financial decision in someone's life. It's complicated and opaque. As a Senior Backend / DevOps Engineer, you will work alongside our CTO on building and evolving our fintech product. Our core architecture and cloud infrastructure are already in place and running in production - you'll spend roughly 70% of your time shipping backend features and 30% on infrastructure and operations. You'll have significant autonomy to shape how we build, deploy, and scale. Your profile What You'll Do * Developing backend features and APIs within our microservices architecture * Designing and implementing event-driven patterns and workflow orchestration * Working with PostgreSQL - schema design, migrations, query optimization * Integrating with external APIs (mortgage platforms, CRM, document processing) * Extending cloud infrastructure (Terraform, Helm) for new services and capabilities * Improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes * Implementing monitoring, logging, and observability systems * Optimizing system performance, reliability, and scalability * Collaborating on technical decisions and architecture evolution * Ensuring code quality, security, and operational best practices Our Stack * Backend: Node.js, TypeScript * Database: PostgreSQL, Redis * Orchestration: Temporal for durable workflows * Architecture: Event Driven Microservices Architecture * Monitoring: Prometheus & Grafana * Cloud: GCP * Infrastructure: Terraform, Helm, GitHub Actions CI/CD, Cloudflare * AI/ML: LLM integrations ## Related Videos - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) ## Related Articles - [Backend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/196-backend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [What’s the Difference Between Frontend and Backend Development?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/240-what-s-the-difference-between-frontend-and-backend-development) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Frontend Developer Salary in Germany [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/195-frontend-developer-salary-in-germany-2023) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers)
