Senior Backend Engineer
About us
We are a team of experienced product, data science and engineering professionals on a mission:
- To revolutionize the foundational mechanisms of e-commerce growth and financing and
- To enhance communication between brands and people by reinforcing trustworthiness, empathy and ethics.
In a world of ever increasing privacy concerns, legislation, and technological advancements that disturbs personal connections between brands and people, we envision a future where people communicate with brands similarly to visiting the grocery next door with a grocer that knows you since you were a kid.
Product-wise we provide the best platform for revenue operations. We provide not just analytics, but actionable data bundled with state-of-the-art AI for web personalization and marketing automation, as well as best practices pre-configured, so our clients can leverage the platform and start growing from day 1.
In terms of technology – our core stack is built with NodeJS, and our big data layer is built on Elasticsearch. We use Spark to train our AI, and a very special layer to serve personalized recommenders and banners in real-time. We also have a client-facing interface built in React. We believe in code reviews and good test coverage.
We have a proven product that brings real and measurable value to our customers. We just raised a $870,000 round led by local investors and business angels to take the product and the team to the next level.
If this sounds like something you’d want to be a part of, consider joining us – we’d be happy to meet!
