We're looking for someone to join a team dedicated to building performant APIs and backend services that deal with large volumes of data for the company's flagship, global consumer product.

  4. We deploy several times a day and rely on a good test suite to ensure we're not making life hard for our colleagues.
  5. We don't expect anyone to know everything, but we are curious and learn along the way.
  6. We learn about the fitness space and what it means to really be fit and not just Instagram fit.

  1. You have 3 (or more) years of experience building and maintaining cloud applications.

  6. Familiarity with the AWS ECS stack.

 

We want you to care about

  1. Good object oriented design
  2. Performant APIs
  3. Analysing why queries are slow and how to go about improving them.
  4. Understanding DNS, Load balancing, Caching and Hashing.
  5. Customer data and privacy.
