[Amsterdã - Holanda] Senior Backend Engineer at Weeronline (Node.js & Scala)

Descrição da vaga

For our high-traffic weather platform, we're looking for a Full-stack Developer with a focus on server-side development. Main technologies used are JavaScript (Node.js) for our new responsive web environment and Scala for backend processing of data, all running on a Google cloud stack.

Our in-house development team recently finished building a new web application platform from scratch, using React, Redux and Node.js as primary tools for improving the product experience for our multi-million audience. Of course, we use continuous integration and deployments in our Kubernetes managed platform.

For our back office we are rebuilding our stack, from legacy applications build in VB6 and PHP to Scala and NodeJS based applications.

You will be part of a solid and efficient development team to drive product and platform innovation. We have a strong need for technical cleverness and skills to create a roadmap that ensures not only improvements for consumers, but also helping us move to a consolidated architecture with clear set of technologies and integrations. You should be able to oversee, steer and participate in the development of the whole platform.

We are open for new technologies, encourage collaborative decisions and are pushing for multi-disciplinary scrum teams caring about the products we ship.

Fala galera do back-end! Eu trabalho na Zoover, que tem uma relação bem próxima com a Weeronline no dia-a-dia, nem sei bem como separar. Quem sabe se você vier pra cá trabalhar com a gente você entende e me explica. Eu chamo informalmente de "sister company".

Tentei dar uma melhorada nesse texto do RH mas a situação estava difícil então vou escrever um pouco pra ver se ajuda.

Sobre "full-stack"

Aqui somos contratados como "full-stack" (um termo de que nunca fui muito fã, aliás eu me especializei em front-end e acredito que os mindsets são diferentes, mas né...). O meu foco é front, acho que >95% do tempo eu trabalho com isso. Até me aventuraria mais no back-end mas minhas habilidades me limitam. E do modo que trabalhamos, isso funciona bem. No meu time, especificamente, somos 4 devs, dois focados em front, dois em back-end, e na maioria do tempo dividimos as tarefas de acordo com preferências e habilidades.

Enfatizo isso porque se você for um back-end dev excelente, não acho que está fora porque não é tão forte (ou nem mexe) em React! O foco dessa vaga é NodeJS e Scala.

Quem vai definir isso 100% são os devs da Weeronline (no dia-a-dia somos próximos mas tecnicamente mais distantes), então se você decidir aplicar vai ter essa conversa e ver se vale a pena pra você e pra eles (pra nós(?!)). Mas te incentivo a "vender o seu peixe" e meter as caras. Se você tem alergia à front-end e nunca tocaria se necessário, pode ser um contra. Se você está aberto (apesar de simpatizar comigo que "full-stack" é meio non-sense), quem sabe né?

Também falo isso porque quando eu apliquei, também fiquei com medo de não conseguir a vaga por não ser tão "full-stack" assim. No final das contas rolou e foi win-win! 🎉
