Nixa.io is currently working together with an early stage startup that is looking to hire super ambitious, product minded back-end/API engineers. The company is on a mission to enable online merchants to power the world's greatest payment experiences for their customers. They are a team of 6 people today working remotely across London, Paris, Wales and Berlin - and they just landed a big funding round from Europe's leading investors (early investors in Revolut, MySQL, TransferWise and UiPath). This is a unique chance to join a startup in it's early phase and get the chance to influence the back-end, API and, product development from scratch.
Their tech and how they work:
- Their core backend is built with Python, but is being quickly adapted as requirements dictate. Critical components of Their architecture will be split in to dedicated microservices, where they'll be looking at higher performant stacks for mission-critical functions.
- They believe in using the best tools for the job, and value engineering expertise over language prowess.
- They value: documentation, test coverage, documentation, code review, documentation, CI/CD and documentation.
- They predominantly communicate via Slack, making little use of email internally. They do daily standups each morning via Google Hangouts. Github is their repo of choice and we track issues via project boards.
