Sketch is a design platform with an award-winning native Mac app and browser-based collaboration tools. Over a million people use our product to create their best work. And right now, we’re looking for a Backend Developer to join us.\n\nWe work with empowered product teams that truly own what they do — delivering new features and improving the technology foundations of our platform. As a backend developer at Sketch, your job will be mainly focused on designing, implementing, and maintaining APIs on large-scale systems that impact people's day-to-day work. You will work closely with frontend, Mac developers, and product managers to guarantee a product-focused, smooth engineering process.\n\nThis position is for the Documents team. This team takes care of organizing the Sketch documents in the user's workspace. Related areas include sharing of documents between team members and people external to the team, versioning of the documents, and the documents' permissions model. Most of the tasks that fall into the responsibilities of this team require close collaboration between the developers, the Product Manager, and the designers of the team. Since the documents are a central topic for Sketch, the team needs to collaborate periodically with other teams in the company such as Cloud Core, Presentation, and Onboarding. Our backend developers need to understand how the product works in detail, as well as feel comfortable tackling complex technical tasks that include performance optimizations, data integrity problems, code readability and maintainability issues, and so on.\n\nAt Sketch most of our backend is built on Elixir with Phoenix, served over GraphQL and persisted on PostgreSQL. We build some supporting web services increasingly in Go (although this team barely has contact with our Go services). Sketch's backend services also utilize some additional AWS services such as SQS, Redis, etc..\n\nAbout you\n\nWe are especially interested in finding developers with experience either building web APIs with Elixir or strong experience with other functional programming languages (e.g. NodeJS, Clojure, F#). You might not have experience with all the technologies in our stack, but you are motivated to learn deeply. You will get the opportunity to work with experienced teammates who can teach and pair with you to learn whatever you have less experience with.\n\nYou care about security, code quality, scalability, performance, and simplicity. Above all, you seek operational excellence and apply the best engineering practices possible. Not everything that you or your team do can be perfect, but you make sure that you always know the trade-offs. You back your decisions with arguments. You don't care for hype and always try to find the best solution and technology for the job and its context.\n\nYou are a pragmatist and understand technology as the medium to build products. You understand the right balance between code readability, simplicity, development speed, performance, and maintainability.\n\nYou value team work, knowledge sharing, autonomy and ownership. You care are about your team, and contribute to an environment of psychological safety and healthy work culture.\n\nAbout Sketch\n\nWe’re a company of diverse thinkers and doers who take pride in always improving our product. We share a vision and commitment to help each other — and our customers — create great work.\n\nWe’ve been fully remote since day one. It’s meant we can bring together incredible people from around the world. You’ll join over 65 Mac, backend, frontend, QA and infrastructure engineers in the Technology team, based everywhere from Scotland to South Africa, and Lithuania to the US.\n\nWe encourage our people to be themselves and embrace what makes us unique. We value different backgrounds, perspectives and experience, and we strongly believe this is key to achieving outstanding results.\n\nWe work asynchronously as much as we can. Our team communicates mostly in writing, using Slack and GitHub. When we need it, we also have video calls. We have a culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, and we provide the environment and the tools you need to do your best work.\n\n\n\nEven if you're not able to tick all of these boxes, we would still love to hear from you. \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Ruby, Senior, Junior, Engineer, Backend, iOS, Developer, Digital Nomad, Video and Cloud jobs that are similar:\n\n $67,500 — $120,000/year\n
