Job description

Airmee is a well-capitalized start-up that is looking for an extremely talented back-end developer to work on some of the most complex problems in the world and help revolutionize logistics. You must have experience designing and building large and complex (yet maintainable) systems.

Airmee is one Sweden's fastest growing logistics startups focusing on fast and convenient deliveries for retailers and other businesses. Our technology that optimizes our logistics fleet in real-time is based on our world-leading research at KTH allows us to do this more cost-efficiently and environmentally sustainably than anyone else.

What're we looking for?

We're looking for a senior DevOps/Backend Developer who will be in charge of extending and maintaining the main functionality of the Airmee API.

The API is built using Amazon Lambdas (Serverless) and the database that provides the functions consumed via the API is built in PostgreSQL.

You are used to TDD since we aim at having 100% test coverage. We put a great focus on good documentation and code readability, so we expect you to write clean code and properly document it.

You are comfortable working with staging and production environments.

You have considerable experience maintaining and scaling up databases, in particular on indexing databases and managing connection pooling and latency.

You have top-notch communication skills.

Skills & Requirements

We believe that you have:

• previous experience in Serverless technology, preferably AWS Lambdas, and in relational databases, preferable PostgreSQL
• solid knowledge of Object Oriented Programming and Clean architecture principles
• competence in testing with Mocha and Karma (for JS APIs) and pgTAP (for Postgres)
• comfortable working with agile methods

It will be amazing if you also,

• have at least one project on github (any sharable repository would work)
• you are a contributor to the open source community
• have the backend know hows to contribute to the full tech stack
• have used the PostGIS spatial extension for PostgreSQL in production

Why join us?

You will be working with talented, motivated, intense, and interesting co-workers. Being part of a startup in its growth phase you will have the opportunity to influence the culture and build a team around you. You will also have a lot of freedom in how to execute tasks.
