About the Backend Engineer Position / About the Role / We’re looking for a  Backend Engineer

ExpressVPN is looking for Backend Engineers to join our global teams working on existing and new product lines. With your knowledge of backend software development, you'll work on designing, testing and building high quality microservices in a specific business domain. You have 3+ years of backend experience in a language such as Golang or Rust, excellent communication skills and familiarity with TDD, continuous delivery and agile methodologies.

Role Responsibilities / What You’ll Do

You'd be on a team with a well-defined goal. Your team-members are other engineers, and likely a few people from other functions like product management, data analysis, and design. You and your team decide what to do to achieve your goals.

As a backend engineer, you're expected to:

  1. Express requirements as code. Otherwise known as "good automated testing at all levels of the pyramid." We like TDD a lot.
  2. Design, test, build and operate backend microservices.
  3. Ensure code is high quality and easy to maintain.
  4. Practice continuous integration and delivery.
  5. If you're on a team that operates a service: you'd also be expected to be on an on-call team

Your success is measured by the pace and quality of the engineering solutions you deliver in your team. We define quality very broadly: it includes security, privacy, capacity, performance, reliability, cost-efficiency, etc.

Role Requirements 

We are open to varying degrees of experience, the more experienced you are the more we’ll expect to see your expertise show.

  • Familiarity with software development best practices including test driven development, continuous delivery and agile methodologies.
  • 3+ years backend experience in a language such as Golang or Rust.
  • 3+ years experience working with databases and object storage such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and S3.
  • AWS experience 
  • Great interpersonal skills: Empathy, negotiation skills, problem-solving acumen, emotional intelligence.
  • Solution driven with a track record of breaking down complex problems and measuring results.

Nice to have but not required / Preferred Experience

  • Experience using containers with Kubernetes or Docker.
  • Familiarity with caches and message queues such as Redis and RabbitMQ.
  • Experience with Ruby, Python or PHP

How we’ll support you

We believe in fostering an environment that empowers decision-making at all levels. Our culture is rooted in the inverted pyramid approach, where the engineers, who have a deep understanding of the product and the customers, are the ones who have the knowledge and the authority to make impactful decisions. 

  • We prioritize treating every team member with respect and promote open and constructive feedback, ensuring a culture of trust and transparency.
  • We encourage learning through experimentation and provide a safe space for everyone to learn from their experiences.
  • Our managers are dedicated to facilitating career growth and creating an environment that attracts and supports talented engineers.
