About the Affiliate Engineering team
We are a team passionate about programming and committed to delivering the best products for our consumers, teammates, and partners. Our products are composed of many microservices that benefit from the contributions of the whole team.
We love to say yes to our colleagues and offer the best of our skills to help them. We own the products we deliver and maintain them. We can create a new service from scratch and put it into production in less than 5 minutes using managed services, with zero bureaucracy. Our managers actually manage, so you don’t have to attend random meetings. We only have stand-up meetings when we feel they are absolutely necessary. We have a dedicated ops team, available 24/7. And of course, we have tests, automatic builds, source control, issues tracker, and so on.

Your responsibilities
• Design, develop, and release great applications that are used by a large base of users
• Work closely with our product managers, and other technical teams to build the best products we can
• Build high-quality Applications, API and Services

About you
• You have at least 5 years of relevant experience building production software and a degree in Computer Science (or equivalent)
• You have strong programming skills and you’re familiar with the technologies we use, in particular Java, Spring or Dropwizard frameworks
• Create reliable backend services, design an API, and deploy a service to GCP. You are never afraid of connecting to a server, and you can create SQL queries to debug an issue or generate reports.
• You have experience delivering services that work at a high scale and high level of availability, integrated with third parties, and provisioned GCP.
• You can work on a team and in an independent way, when necessary, plan your own work and deliverables, find documentation, ask your colleagues for help, document and communicate your work, and raise your hand if you get stuck.
• You can jump into new stuff and you don’t get easily scared when facing new projects and new and unknown technologies.
• You are proficient in spoken and written English.

Technologies we use
• Java 8/11 and Go
• GCP Services, Docker, and Kubernetes
• PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis
