(Senior) Backend Engineer

About the Role At InterNations, you build for our members, for the hosts who bring them together at events, and for your own colleagues internally. We want you close to whoever you are building for: asking why a feature matters, challenging requirements, and shaping the solution.

Our engineering team architects, develops, and tests our products. As a Full-Stack Engineer, your mission is to build features end to end, from the browser to the database, on a platform that serves millions of views every month.

As a member of an international, cross-functional Product Experience Team (PXT), you work closely with your Product Manager to architect, implement, and ship concepts and upcoming changes. You will write automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. You will take part in cross-team initiatives: architectural changes, refactoring, and best practices.

What we are looking for

Relevant experience across the stack: a backend language like PHP, Python, or Ruby and modern JavaScript or TypeScript, as we are working with PHP and TypeScript

Experience with a modern web framework like Symfony, Laravel, Next.js, or React

Hands-on experience using AI tools in your everyday engineering work

Experience with automated testing on the unit, functional, and/or acceptance level

An interest in big datasets in relational databases, search indexes, or key-value stores

Excellent English, written and spoken, as it is our company language

Strong communication skills and a self-motivator, used to working with multiple teams across disciplines in a fully remote setting

What we value

Bettering our skills, teaching each other and learning ways to build better software

User testing, experimentation, automated testing, and continuous integration to gain meaningful feedback

Fostering collaboration and cooperativeness

Technologies we use: PHP, Symfony, MariaDB, Solr, RabbitMQ, Redis, Memcached, Behat, PHPUnit, TypeScript, Next.js, React, TanStack Query, MUI

Where we work: We work fully remote and are looking for people based in Spain who already have the right to work there. Twice a year the whole team meets in person, travel and accommodation covered.
