When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.

Overview
We are Basket (www.trybasket.com) – a fresh and exciting new approach to save, share and follow the things you love, and the people who love them too. Basket keeps you organised, up to date, and helps you buy better across all shopping categories.
To continue our growth we’re seeking a Senior Backend Engineer located in London or Auckland. With your strong production experience of Python and ETL processes, you’ll play a key role in our data extraction, transformation pipelines, data storage (MongoDB), and data delivery via AWS API Gateway (Rest APIs) and AWS AppSync (GraphQL). You’ll need a deep understanding and experience with serverless AWS (Lamba with EventBridge), and knowledge of the serverless framework (https://www.serverless.com/) would be a significant benefit.
To excel in this role, you’ll learn quickly, think big, and deliver rock-solid results in a fast-paced startup environment. You implicitly know how to balance safe decisions while proactively researching and running code experiments. You’re someone who embraces collaboration and feedback with open arms.

This is a chance to join an innovative team where you will be challenged, and have significant input to shape a product we believe will become a global household name. This is an exciting opportunity to join our backend team at a pivotal time in our journey.
This role is development focused, with a small amount of coaching required for junior team members.
How We Work at Basket
At Basket, we work in 2 week development cycles with a clearly defined goal. We’re inspired by companies like Linear where quality work is more important than quantity of features released. We plan each cycle well ahead of time with team discussions, research and workshops to make sure we’re making informed decisions.
Here’s how our typical cycle looks;
2 weeks before a cycle we plan and define requirements for features
1 week before a cycle we do technical due diligence and write acceptance criteria
During a cycle we write code using test-driven development, test code to development and staging environments, collaborate with QA, Design and PM team members to ensure features are production ready.
What You'll Do
Write, improve and maintain serverless functions to accurately transform and load data into efficient and organised MongoDB storage
Develop and maintain 3rd party data clients to enrich stored data
Create and update API endpoints for a frontend client using AWS API Gateway (Rest APIs) and AWS AppSync (GraphQL)
Analyse and tune application performance with a focus on efficiency using analytics tools such as Lumigo, Sentry, Segment and DataDog
Research and architect solutions using serverless architecture patterns
Implement and improve analytics and application monitoring performance
Approach your work using test driven development (TDD) to ensure the integrity of your code and our services
About You
Native English (this is essential)
Located in London, UK or Auckland, NZ
5+ years full-time work experience as a backend engineer on production services
Advanced knowledge of Python ^3.10 and/or NodeJS ^15.0.0
Deep knowledge of webpage parsing, including XPath and Regex
Excellent experience with MongoDB and DynamoDB

Lots of energy and enthusiasm about being part of a small, progressive team
Good To Have

Experience working in a VC-backed startup environment
Our Culture
Our culture is built on respect, collaboration and a drive to shake up the world of shopping. We’re at the beginning of our journey with the opportunity for new team members to lead projects, and shape services that customers interact with daily.
