We love Go, HTTP, gRPC and containers!
Come and join our backend team and design, build and support APIs that are requested tens of millions of times per day as well as internal tools that keep our community safe and our business efficient.
We run a modern containerised stack in AWS using a mixture of database technologies (MySQL, DynamoDB, Redis, Redshift, Elasticsearch) to serve different workloads. Our architecture is event-driven and we’re bringing increasingly more machine learning into the hotpath.
Our platform ingests tens of millions analytic events every day which are visualised in our BI tools and we make data-driven decisions daily.
If you’re looking to work on complicated technical challenges at scale then this role is for you.

- Used to developing complex services from requirements to shipping
- Willing to learn new skills and really get stuck in
- Bags of common sense with the raw ability and energy to make things happen, a real entrepreneurial spirit
Bonus points:
- Familiarity with building on the cloud AWS services – we use over 40 AWS services
- Experience working with ML technologies
- Protocols such as websockets and XMPP
What you'll accomplish
- Collaborating on building new product features for our members.
- Building highly secure services (we handle sensitive personal data).
- Improving performance with investigative work.
- Troubleshooting problems across distributed systems.
- Understanding and automating away common problems.
- Tackling challenging production issues as part of a supportive on-call team.
