Backend Developer- Core Platform

We are looking for a passionate problem solver who loves working with both Dev and Ops! Our team is responsible for some full-stack features, but our main focus is on building and improving frameworks (used by the other feature teams) and maintaining our production and development environments.

We are looking for someone who enjoys exploring new technologies and is comfortable introducing them into our environments!

Join our exciting growth journey

We are on an exciting growth journey, i.e. we are opening up to new markets on an international level. We are at the same time on an exciting architectural journey, and would appreciate your help in further developing our platform.

If you join our team you will work with a great group of developers. We are focusing on solving problems related to the operational performance of our platform. You will develop new ideas and technical solutions to create the best conditions for our system to be efficient, secure and stable. Input from external systems as well as new suggestions for tools used to continuously improve the Benify platform will be part of your daily tasks.

Being part of a smaller team of six developers, you will be close to production and the business and will be able to quickly see the results of your work. With 3-5 daily releases, the feature you are developing will quickly be live and being used by each of our 2 million+ users around the world. What you create really makes a big difference.

Your daily routines will consist of:

•  Work with Agile system development with continuous releases
• Use of technologies like Java 18, Spring, MySQL, Hazelcast, Apache Pulsar
• Explore and introduce new technologies when suitable
• Develop and design new frameworks and patterns
• Work with complex problems in a product based company
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of code quality and deliveries
