Senior Backend Engineer

Summary

Join Tide, a rapidly growing fintech company, and contribute to our event-driven microservice architecture. As a backend engineer, you will design, build, run, and scale services using Java 17, Spring Boot, and JOOQ. You'll work with RESTful APIs, message queues (SNS, SQS, Kafka), and PostgreSQL. We utilize AWS, ArgoCD, and a robust CI/CD pipeline. Collaborate closely with product owners and leverage DataDog for monitoring. Tide offers a flexible work environment, including remote options, and a comprehensive benefits package.

Requirements

• Have some experience building server-side applications and detailed knowledge of the relevant programming languages for your stack
• 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)
• Demonstrate a mindset of delivering secure, well-tested and well-documented software that integrates with various third party providers and partners (we do that a lot in the fintech industry)

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
• Have DataDog as your best friend to monitor your services and investigate issues
• Collaborate closely with Product Owners to understand our Users’ needs, Business opportunities and Regulatory requirements and translate them into well-engineered solutions

Preferred Qualifications

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!
