Software Developer (Python, React/Vue Tier 1 college only

We are looking for a Backend Developer for our Engineering team.

What You'll Do :

 You will be a part of our backend team working on keeping our REST API and GraphQL API up and running and making sure that our users get the right data at the right time.
 You will have ownership of developing and maintaining our backend services including users, courses, and operations tools that manage our product and logistics.
 You will work on architecting and scaling highly-available RESTful services and back-end systems from scratch.
 This is a position for an experienced Node programmer with at least 2 years under the belt, but you don't have to be a rock star, a ninja, or a superhero to apply.

What You'll Need :

 You will fit well in the backend team if you are passionate about technology and have experience programming in Node. Knowledge of technologies like Cassandra, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, REST and JSON will help you get going from day one.
 As an experienced Node developer, you should be intimately familiar with the platform, with
JavaScript, and with the stables of full-stack web development : HTTP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, SQL.
 It's a bonus if you're broadly familiar with other languages as well- we write some services in Go and have data pipelines written in Python- but your main work will be JavaScript through and through.
 You will be a perfect match with our team if you love collaborating with people from all disciplines to solve complex problems, always want to learn new skills and take ownership of your work.

Technology Vision

The B2B manufacturing industry has a lack of digitisation globally. NowPurchase is building layers of technology to help improve the productivity and profits of the manufacturer. For this we are building the OS (Operating System) that will seamlessly connect factory equipment such as furnaces and spectrometers to our software systems that provide real time optimisations.

The end-game is to use this interconnected system to do great production planning and autonomous procurement of their raw materials. The Heart of NowPurchase will be a marketplace consisting of these smart factories and raw material suppliers.

Here a video that explains our product journey:
