Back-end Engineer - Landing.Partner DE｜Meet.jobs

Disclaimer: All relevant details regarding the company and the specifics of the hiring process will be shared with you during our first screening session.

What we do:

We are the leading online metasearch- and price-comparison engine in Europe, currently successfully operating in six markets - more to come. Our algorithms sort, match and compare millions of products from more than 500 retail shops.

You will be joining 40+ enthusiastic people, hailing from 12 nations (and counting) in our lovely Hamburg office.

What you will do:

You will be working on and contributing new microservices to a architecture that is

• reactive

  responsive, resilient, elastic, scalable by design. Communication happens asynchronous, no HTTP between services. Check reactivemanifesto.org!

• message-driven

  event-carried state transfer & some event-sourcing

• fully decoupled

  We truly believe in doing things distributed. Microservices share no databases and survive each other’s failure

• microservice

  All services have a well-defined purpose derived from our business requirements

• architecture

  we live polyglott persistence and heavily invest into researching and developing patterns and best practices

• running on Node.js

  we are rapidly moving from OOP to FRP (functional reactive programming). JavaScript allows us to do that

• written in TypeScript

  having static typing greatly increases development speed and fun. We don’t use TypeScript to create a JS-OOP zombie but to make development more fun and patterns easier to use

• properly tested

  We strongly believe in writing tests. Most (and all new) components have a coverage from 60%-90%

• continuously monitored

  We use Prometheus and Grafana to keep track of what our services do. We also use Grafana for company KPIs, BI and marketing metrics

• and continuously deployed

  We use containers to develop locally using the same images that run on production. We deploy with Wercker and do so about 7 times per day

• into a Kubernetes cluster

  DNS, load balancing and redundancy are automatically done by our deployment system. We happily run many hundreds of Kubernetes pods.

Main requirements

• You have at least 3 years experience working with Node.js
• You have at least 2 years experience working on Microservice Architectures
• You have at least 3 years experience in Agile software development and pair-programing
