You will mentor junior engineers, sharing your knowledge and experience to foster a collaborative and growth-oriented team environment.
• You will contribute to the development of automated tests, including unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests, to ensure the stability and reliability of our codebase. A strong emphasis on testing is integral to our development philosophy.
• You will be involved in deploying applications to cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and utilizing containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment processes is essential.
• This role demands excellent communication skills, as you will be collaborating with remote team members across different time zones. You will participate in regular team meetings, sprint planning, and retrospectives, contributing to a transparent and efficient workflow.
• You will have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of technologies and tools, continuously learning and expanding your skillset. We encourage a culture of innovation and experimentation, where new ideas are welcomed and explored.
• Your work will directly influence the user experience and the overall success of Workana Premium. By building robust and efficient backend solutions, you will enable our platform to handle increasing user loads and introduce new functionalities that delight our customers.
• We are looking for an engineer who is passionate about backend development, enjoys tackling challenging problems, and is eager to make a tangible impact within a fast-paced, collaborative, and fully remote setting.
• You will be a key player in shaping the future of our backend architecture, making architectural decisions, and advocating for technical excellence. Your insights and experience will be invaluable in guiding our technical roadmap.
• The role involves continuous learning and adaptation to new technologies and methodologies. We believe in empowering our engineers to stay at the forefront of the industry, providing resources and opportunities for professional development.
• You will contribute to maintaining and improving our existing codebase, ensuring it remains performant, secure, and up-to-date with the latest library and framework versions.
