Backend Engineer

Summary

Join Tide in their mission to empower small businesses and help them save time and money by contributing to the event-driven Microservice Architecture as a software engineer.

Requirements

• Have 2+ years experience building server-side applications and detailed knowledge of the relevant programming languages for your stack
• You don’t need to know Java, but bear in mind that most of our services are written in Java, so you need to be willing to learn it when you have to change something there!
• Have a sound knowledge of a backend framework (e.g. Spring/Spring Boot) that you’ve used to write microservices that expose and consume RESTful APIs
• Have experience engineering scalable and reliable solutions in a cloud-native environment (the most important thing for us is understanding the fundamentals of CI/CD, practical Agile so to speak)

Responsibilities

• Contribute to our event-driven Microservice Architecture (currently 200+ services owned by 40+ teams)
• Define and maintain the services your team owns (you design it, you build it, you run it, you scale it globally)
• Use Java 17, Spring Boot and JOOQ to build your services
• Expose and consume RESTful APIs
• Use SNS+SQS and Kafka to send events
• Utilise PostgreSQL via Aurora as your primary datastore (we are heavy AWS users)
• Deploy your services to Production as often as you need to (this usually means multiple times per day!)
• Experience modern GitOps using ArgoCD
• Collaborate closely with Product Owners to understand our Users’ needs, Business opportunities and Regulatory requirements and translate them into well-engineered solutions
