Remote Backend + Cloud + Security + Senior + UX Jobs

# Who we are\nWhen was the last time you were pleasantly surprised by an insurance company? We bet the answer is never—and we've built Feather to change that.\n\nWe’re committed to creating a brand new insurance experience. We envision one without commission-hungry brokers, where our customers' best interests are always at the center.\n\nWe’re a small, but ambitious team and we’re crazy about fintech and insurance. Our company was founded in 2018 by Rob (CEO) and Vincent (CTO). Vincent was one of the first employees at N26, where he was instrumental in building and scaling their iOS app. Rob was previously working at McKinsey, where he consulted top insurance companies on how to improve their digital strategy.\n# About the role\nWe're looking for an experienced Senior Backend Engineer to join our product team remotely.\n\nThe product team consists of several cross-functional units that are responsible for different parts of our insurance business. As a part of such a unit, you will be the one to make all the technical decisions necessary to grow our product.\n\nYou will be contributing to our TypeScript microservices and APIs, occasionally touching statically typed Python code. Anything you build will be immediately used by our customer base.\n\nWe put the customer first, and that is what defines how our tech evolves. We care about the UX of our products, but at the same time, we go out of our way to ensure security and privacy of the customer's data. \n\nWe set high standards in that regard, and we use the best tools available to meet them. You will define how the backend architecture and cloud infrastructure look like and collaborate with everyone across the team on the way.\n# Who we’re looking for 👀\nWe're looking for someone who already worked in a similar role as a Senior Software Engineer. This role requires a high degree of autonomy and excellent English communication skills. \n\nYou tick the following boxes:\n\n- You are proficient with TypeScript and any of the modern node frameworks.\n- You have a security mindset and care for data privacy.\n- You show a good understanding of databases.\n- You have worked with any ubiquitous cloud provider and containerized/serverless deploy.\n- You are good at design patterns and architecture. You have worked with microservices and asynchronous architecture before.\n- You have an eye for how things look and feel when it's facing the customer.\n\nIdeally, you have experience with:\n\n- Building event-driven systems with Cloud Pub/Sub, Kafka, Redis or RabbitMQ.\n- Managing cloud infrastructure. Terraform experience is a plus.\n- Running docker containers in production.\n- Using PostgreSQL and writing raw SQL.\n- Secure uploads to Google Cloud Storage or AWS S3.\n- Using managed Kubernetes/KNative clusters.\n- Serverless deployment using Google Cloud Functions, Cloud Run or AWS Lambda.\n\nThat said, don't be afraid to reach out to us if you are missing some of the above! \n# What we offer\n- Small team, flat hierarchy, mission-driven, and no politics. The usual buzzwords here, except we actually mean them. We’re small, lean, and we love what we’re doing.\n- You’ll be building a product that people need, and are grateful for. Our excellent [Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/feather-insurance.com) and [Google reviews](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Feather,+Lohm%C3%BChlenstra%C3%9Fe+65,+12435+Berlin,+Germany&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8) speak for themselves. We’ve built a product around people, and they love it!\n- Budget for learning. We want you to grow with us, so we offer a €1,200 yearly budget that you can spend to learn new stuff (books, conferences, subscriptions, etc.).\n- Remote work from anywhere close to the CET timezone. You may be requested to travel to Berlin several times a year.\n- Freedom to contribute to Open Source. We are passionate about OSS and we have a bunch of our own code [available on GitHub](https://github.com/getpopsure/).\n- A modern tech stack to work with—TypeScript, Terraform, NestJS, GitHub Actions just to name a few.\n\n# Does this sound like you? Apply now!\nWe'd like to chat about so many things with you! Please, let us know what interests you the most.\n\n- We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.\n- We encourage people without degrees to apply: we believe that what you’ve worked on and achieved is way more important than on-paper qualifications. \n\nPlease mention the words **DEBRIS ATTRACT WASP** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMy4xNDguMTcxLjIyMg==). This is a feature to avoid spam applicants. Companies can search these words to find applicants that read this and see they're human.\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n $70,000 — $100,000/year\n
\n\n#Benefits\n ⏰ Async\n\n🚫 No politics at work\n\n

\nIf you’re smart, passionate about technology and enjoy solving complex technical challenges then you should apply to join our best-in-class tech team. We believe that people are our most important asset and one worth protecting. As such, we’re known for creating an enviable working culture to keep our employees smiling on a day to day basis. \n\nWe offer things such as flexible hours, remote working, fortnigtly hackathons and freedom to work on projects of individual interest to name just a few. In fact, our impressive working culture has recently earned us 1st place in the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work for 2015. \n\n\nWe have two different positions.\n\n\n1. Senior Developers who would like to lead a team / projects - We envisage the split here being about 70% hands-on coding and 30% leading the team, liaising with product owners on prioritization work, attending iteration planning meetings with stakeholders, delegating tasks to dev team, and making sure we are following Lean / Agile processes correctly.\n\n\n2. Senior Developers who want to be 100% coders (non-lead) - This role will be 100% hands on working with our other Devs to code beautiful products for our customers! \n\n\n\nSome of our Current Projects: \n\nSeedy - Our custom built CMS. A hybrid, markdown based, sinatra driven CMS but with a TDD undercurrent. Content changes are no different to backend refactoring. Templates are written in a custom DSL that enforces our style guide while still supporting iterative changes and automatic deployment. Across the company people (including business teams) are now being tagged in pull requests and even writing code!\n\nAerie - We’re overhauling our data and analytics architecture. Using the latest approaches in event streaming, we are building a brand new data pipeline based on Kinesis and Redshift that will support the analysis of both structured and semi-structured data in near real-time. This will provide rapid and intuitive customer insight to our decision makers, while also providing exciting machine learning capabilities back to our core product offering.\n\nAAA - We are enhancing our new world platform. Our current focus is on security with a view to building out ‘infrastructure as code’ using tools such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS OpsWorks, Chef/Puppet and many others. Essentially, we believe a well architected system allows us to avoid unnecessary complexity and can enable individuals to generate great output.\n\nOur Tech Stack\n\n\n\n\n* Ruby\n\n* Rails                                                                                                                            \n\n* Scala  \n\n* MongoDB\n\n* RabbitMQ\n\n* Puppet/Boxen\n\n* AWS                                                                                                                        \n\n* Hadoop / RedShift / Looker /Tableau\n\n* Cucumber / RSpec / Jasmine                              \n\n* SASS / HAML / HTML5 / CSS3 / JavaScript / CoffeeScript / jQuery\n\n\n\n\n\nThis list changes all the time, as being on the lookout for new technology trials and opportunities is part of our code. We don’t believe in limiting ourselves, or the company. If there are other tools that could get the job done better, we’re committed to exploring them.\n\nThings we believe in:\n\n\n\n\n* TDD / BDD\n\n* Continuous Delivery\n\n* Pair Programming\n\n* Build – Measure - Learn\n\n* Active participation to open source\n\n* Our business people writing code (we've not seen this anywhere else!)                                \n\n* Cross functional teams (Dev / QA/ Data / UX / Product owners all sitting together)            \n\n* Release early and learn quickly - we release our software to production around 15 times a day on average!        \n\n* Continuous learning - we look to pay for courses and conferences and actively encourage our Devs to get out and about in the community. We have even sent some of our Devs to Miami, Portugal and Barcelona for conferences recently.                                                              \n\n* Have fun! We do ruby coding challenges during lunchtimes over pizza, we have desk beers on a friday, we have several social events throughout the year, we do fortnightly hackathons, we have afterwork clubs like: UX, Data science and Robotics club, we have flexible working hours, weekly 'show n tell' sessions, and lot's more!                                                                                                 \n\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to JavaScript, InfoSec, Java, Cloud, CSS, Quality Assurance, HTML, Python, Scala, Ruby, Admin, Machine Learning, Data Science, Senior, jQuery, Sys Admin, Backend, Design and Digital Nomad jobs that are similar:\n\n $70,000 — $120,000/year\n
