\nDo you want to work for a mission-driven non-profit, writing software that will contribute to helping the livelihoods of millions of coffee farmers around the world? Enveritas is a 501(c)3 non-profit and Y Combinator-backed startup looking to hire for our Engineering & Data Group. You can learn more about this job and about our Backend and Data Engineering Team at https://www.enveritas.org/jobs/backend-software-eng/\n\nWe are looking for two backend software engineers with a focus on python and PostgreSQL to join us on a remote/global, full-time basis. Our Backend and Data Engineering Team is a four-person team (soon to be six!) and is part of our Engineering & Data Group — a quirky, talented, and humble group of about twenty with diverse backgrounds ranging from journalism to academia to international industry.\n\nAbout Our Backend & Data Engineering Team\n\nThe Backend & Data Engineering Team builds software to collect, analyze, and report data about coffee farmers’ conditions and practices. This large-scale data-collection effort requires many moving parts to work together, and we use technology to support that effort at every step of the process — from identifying coffee farms in satellite imagery, to coordinating survey edits across country teams, to detecting data anomalies in real-time that can be investigated while teams are still in the field. A core part of our work is in data aggregation and report generation, with insights ultimately being shared with roasters and other stakeholders on how to assist in improving the social, economic, and environmental conditions of smallholder farmers. \n\nWhile our tooling varies across internal products, our backend services primarily use a Python/PostgreSQL stack running on Linux to run our GraphQL APIs. We use git and Github for maintaining our code, CircleCI for CI/CD, and AWS for hosting our services and static resources, with containerization where appropriate for development and deployment. We've begun working with Terraform.\n\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\n\nYou will contribute to major feature planning and development, both independently and in collaboration with your teammates.\n\n\n* Implement new features on our core platforms, Jebena and Sini. You’ll participate in long-term planning and product roadmaps, collaborate with product managers on writing specs for the team to implement, and develop features from specs. You should be comfortable collaborating with non-Engineering teams to understand their feature needs. A lion’s share of your time will be spent working with Python and PostgreSQL to add features to our internal platforms.\n\n* Maintenance and enhancements of existing code. You’ll work with other engineers to triage and resolve incoming issues (we use Sentry). Our team also reserves Fridays for bug-fixing, resolving technical debt, and discovering/relieving pain-points for our users.\n\n* Manage AWS services. In tandem with our Head of IT, a part of this role includes helping manage our AWS account, including reviewing our CI/CD setup and proposing ways to further automate and secure our setup, including expanding our usage of Terraform.\n\n\n\n\nQualifications\n\nRead this first: research shows that people of different backgrounds read job postings differently. If you don’t think you meet all of the qualifications but do think you’d be a great match for us, please consider applying and sharing more in your cover letter. We’d love to talk with you to see what skills you can bring to our team. This said, we are most likely to be interested in your candidacy if you can demonstrate the majority of the qualifications listed below:\n\n\n* A degree in computer science, or equivalent training in the principles of software engineering.\n\n* Strong grasp of design patterns for building software that is well-encapsulated, performant, and elegant.\n\n* Multiple years of professional experience as a backend engineer in more than one team environment, including both developing engineering specs and writing code in Python.\n\n* Extensive experience with Python and PostgreSQL, and creating well-designed data models.\n\n* Background developing applications that provide HTTP-based APIs.\n\n* Familiarity with docker containers, AWS services (EC2, RDS, CloudFront), and CI/CD setups.\n\n* Excellent communication and analytical skills.\n\n\n\n\nWho You Are\n\nOur team is fully distributed, so you should be comfortable with remote work. This role is a full-time individual contributor role. While you can be located anywhere that our EOR (Deel) supports, our core hours are 10am to 2pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, with team members choosing either an early start or later stop as suits them.\n\nYou should be inspired by our mission to improve the lives of smallholder coffee farmers, and have an interest in sustainability. You should have a deep empathy for users of our tools and understand the importance of supporting the work of other teams. Because operational and business needs can be ambiguous and change on a short time-scale, you should have a love for environments with uncertainty, and enjoy not only solving problems, but discovering and demystifying them.\n\nWe are a small team! You should be comfortable working both independently and as a thoughtful collaborator, sensitive to the legibility and maintainability of your code when in the hands of your teammates.\n\nAbout Working With Us & Compensation\n\nEnveritas has teams around the world: we are about 100 people spread over almost two dozen countries, and of all backgrounds, faiths, and identities.
