Senior Backend Developer (Node.js)

About Bloomon

Bloomon is an online-only flower delivery service with a difference. Since launching in 2014, we’ve gone from living room startup to iconic European flower brand at speed with our innovative digital business model. Our Amsterdam HQ is home to a diverse team of 80+ high-tech and highly-creative ‘bloomies’.

Position

Our working methodology is as disruptive as our stack and infrastructure. We just implemented the Squad model, founded by Spotify, where you work in a small, autonomous multi-disciplinary team. In addition, we use tools such as Slack, Jira, Github, and Trello to communicate efficiently and asynchronously -- this allows us to work with anyone, anywhere.We work from hubs spread out between Europe and Asia. And it works great! After setting priorities, tasks enter a kanban (much like a living sprint), where developers set their own ETA which they themselves can monitor using time tracking. This way all our developers know exactly what to do, when and how. Next to that, this approach allows us to hire amazing developers from around the world, without having to compromise based on their location. 

What will you do?

As part of the back end guild you will work on the usual things as integration of user-facing elements developed by our front-end developers, on building reusable code and libraries for future use and optimization of the application for maximum speed and scalability. Security and data protection are also key responsibility. Being part of a squad will enable you on quarterly bases to work on different projects such as for example a flexible promotion codes system for sales teams in Europe (you’ll need a great level of abstraction, i.e. to create a system of triggers and effects where combinations are possible) or forecasting upcoming deliveries for operation teams. Further projects in our pipeline include enabling cross-country transactions, setting up a database optimized for analytics rather than transactions, two-way sync databases with external APIs, such as our CRM system; with a smart difference algorithm and many more!

Your qualification

• 5+ years Javascript (ES6) and Node.js
• Great understanding on how to structure maintainable large-scale backend applications; e.g. how -to separate concerns (boilerplate vs business logic vs state)
• Experience with Node.js frameworks such as HAPI, Restify, Express, Loopback, etc.
• Experience working with, or great understanding of, micro-services and/or cloud functions
• Unit, integration, and end-to-end testing
• SQL
• Experience with gRPC, Kafka, and/or RabbitMQ
• Experience with CI/CD (Kubernetes, Jenkins, TravisCI, Docker, etc.)
• Laravel / PHP
