Backend Developer - Engine (Rust, gRPC, PostgreSQL)

About Stockly

Stockly is a retail-tech company that targets to solve the problem of out-of-stock products in e-commerce. With our technology, e-retailers can keep selling out-of-stock products, making other retailers ship them directly to consumers.

Our product is live across Europe and convinces more clients every day. Our mission is to create the world first global inventory for retail. To better understand what we do, check out our French pitch at BFMTV, or our English pitch at Techstars.

Position

We are looking for a smart and talented Back-end developer to join us working closely with our CTO Oscar (École Normale Supérieure Paris, ex-Criteo). Our Engine team is currently composed by 3 people (Télécom & ENS Paris). Due to our growth (x4 per year), this number is likely to increase quite rapidly.

Our main language is Rust and run in Dockers hosted in the Cloud, and we are working to be compatible with different providers (AWS, Heroku, Azure, etc.). We develop using the Agile process with the help of Github and Notion for ticket management. We follow Google coding best practices (Mono-repo, micro-services, etc). You don’t need to have Rust skills but only the willingness to learn it to apply!
