About the role

You will be part of the core engineering team in ShopCash, helping to build and maintain its backend.

Along with other team members, you will be implementing features and solving challenging problems in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

What you will be doing:

• Adopt and continuously improve engineering best practices to ensure a robust and maintainable codebase for our backend service, e.g. through design reviews, code reviews, unit tests, and regular retrospective meetings.
• Identify and proactively address engineering challenges for the product, driving complex technical decisions together with your colleagues.
• Have a sense of ownership in managing and extending our backend services. Use your technical expertise in contributing to building backend architecture and infrastructure at scale.
• Partner with product, designers and analytics and drive requirements that take into account all parties' needs.
• Support other members of the team in finding pragmatic solutions that can be implemented in a reasonable amount of time.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• Familiarity with technologies that we already use;
  • Elixir and Phoenix
  • Postgres
  • Elasticsearch
• Experience designing and building APIs with maintainability, scalability and reliability in mind. You will debug SQL queries, implement database optimisations, and refactor large parts of the codebase to improve performance and readability.
• Competency in working with external APIs and other data sources for integration work.
• To enjoy working as part of a close-knit team, spread over several locations. You will solve the team's problems together - designing systems with good abstractions, fixing production issues, providing respectful and thoughtful feedback on other developers’ code in pull requests and welcoming feedback on your own work too.
• Proficiency in English and technical communication.
• As part of our AI-driven Engineering culture, you will be expected to
  already have integrated AI tools like Cursor or GitHub Copilot agent
  mode into your daily software development process. We seek candidates
  who not only embrace these technologies, but also exercise critical
  oversight via iterating prompts, verifying outputs, and ensuring secure,
  high-quality code.

It will be great if you have:

• Experience with Docker, AWS, and CI/CD in general.
• Demonstrate ability to own and ship a big project end-to-end involving complex decisions based on business and technological impact.
• Familiarity with Agile Scrum.
• Familiarity with some frontend technologies that we use (React+Next.js, React Native)
