Dein Profil

Building a robust and maintainable micro-services architecture is our goal and we would like to have an expert in the team to help us achieve this goal. Ideally you have at least 4 years of experience with distributed systems and microservices.
Jodel runs on a big Kubernetes Cluster, so an in depth understanding of containerization is a must.
At Jodel we speak NodeJS or Golang - so you should too! Ideally you have 4 years experience.
Jodel is a social media app, so performance is a key to our success, and scalable systems are what we always aim to build. Having a colleague that has experience with event-driven architecture is a great plus.
We have different types of databases. You will work with MongoDB, Cassandra, and Elasticsearch.

Welche Charaktere suchen wir?

You’re naturally motivated and proud of doing great work.
Numbers and data are the best way to drive your decisions.
People and human interactions come before processes and rules for you.
You understand the value of measure twice - cut once and you work by this mantra.
You own your successes and your failures, and constantly seek to improve.

Was wir dir anbieten

An Empowered Team -- Engineering owns tech debt and tech improvement decisions; we collaborate tightly with our product team but we're all very mindful not to step on each other's toes. We own technical decisions, take responsibility and are accountable for them.
Preventive culture, rather than reactive -- While some of us participate in on-call activities, we have a very low amount of actual production emergencies. A lot of energy goes into fixing root causes and we are very proud of not having anyone in firefighting mode.
Career building is part of the deal -- you don't join to just write tests and contribute to the product - you also join to improve your career. We pay special attention to your personal development and make sure you're focusing on the skills that matter the most to you.
Lean processes -- we try hard to cut meetings and processes to a minimum, to ensure that you’re focusing on being productive. And we encourage all interactions to be direct and open, not forcing you to go through any intermediaries to get your work done.
United in diversity -- with people from all over the world, from Tunisia to France, from India to Poland, we are multicultural by default and proud to be so. We all come from different walks of life and cultural backgrounds, and we continue to push for diversity in our team!
We're building a team, not just making money -- we solve hard problems together but we also relax and have fun. From team cooking to going on company trips, from office parties to go-karting, we'll make sure you have a good work-life balance.
The future will be amazing -- the list of non-trivial challenges we'll be dealing with includes developer APIs, security issues, scaling access to a lot of data (among other things we can't tell you about :-) ); all of this with location and anonymity as their own dimensions in Jodel.
No one else is doing what we're doing -- it's that simple. We're pioneering local communication and since communication is a basic human need, our work is just very very exciting. On top of that, we are one of the few large scale European Social Networks. There’s not that many and we're very proud to be Made in Europe.
