Role
Who you are
- Extensive experience with PHP. You are comfortable with the ins-and-outs of PHP, from libraries and debugging tools to caches, worker pools, and memory management. You also have some experience with Typescript/NodeJS and are willing to expand on this
- A passion for shipping. Bonus points for Trunk Based Development. CI/CD is your default. Putting code live every day is standard practice
- Database performance and optimization skills, especially in MySQL. You can walk us through all the steps in a large query and tell us in which order they are executed and how to optimize the execution path. Explain is your friend
- You understand that an Engineer’s job doesn't stop at shipping code. You know how to operate your application, you care about monitoring, alerting, and you are not afraid of being exposed to the infrastructure
- A “Best tool for the job” mentality. You are not a zealot and know that having a hammer does not make everything a nail. You are not afraid to try something new and know how to build consensus and knowledge in the team for new tech and concepts
- Excellent English communication skills. You can naturally work with people from different backgrounds, both technical and non-technical. You are comfortable defending your ideas and challenging others. People enjoy working and debating with you
- Working with a remote team is not new to you but just regular business
What the job involves
- Our team in Munich and Barcelona is seeking a talented Senior/Staff Software Engineer to join us in building the next generation of our Compliance SaaS platform using cutting-edge technology
- You will be responsible for designing and developing scalable backend solutions that ensure the platform's performance, security, and reliability
- As a Senior/Staff Software Engineer, you will be a key player in ensuring the reliability and scalability of our innovative SaaS platform
- Your focus on performance and system reliability, nurturing team growth, prioritizing the product, and fostering knowledge sharing will drive innovation and guarantee a top-tier customer experience
- Your contribution will be instrumental in our ongoing success
- Collaborative Code Sharing! While your primary focus will be on specific projects, you will actively engage with other teams by reviewing their code, creating merge requests for their projects, and promoting collaboration through documentation and best practices
- Ensuring Rock-Solid Performance! You will be responsible for ensuring the software's reliability and scalability, implementing robust monitoring systems and practices to identify and prevent issues proactively, improving logging capabilities for effective debugging, and being prepared to conduct postmortems to learn from failures
- Team Collaboration. You will play a crucial role in creating a scalable and reliable backend infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include collaborating closely with the product design team to ensure design consistency and usability. You will also be responsible for optimizing backend performance, improving debugging capabilities, and ensuring efficient resolution of issues
- Growing Your Peers. Recognizing the importance of a solid and cohesive team, you will support your fellow team members in making decisions, providing guidance and examples, and engaging in pair programming when needed. Your focus on peer growth contributes to the overall success of the team
- Engineering-Driven Product Focus. While coding is a core aspect of your role, you will also actively participate in discussions regarding product development. Your valuable insights will help balance incorporating new features and addressing technical considerations
- Sharing is Caring. You will be expected to organize and lead presentations on topics that you have mastered, such as new design trends or front-end technologies. By keeping yourself and your colleagues updated on new technologies and industry trends, you contribute to advancing the engineering department
Our take
With consumers and investors concerned about the environmental and social impact of corporations and governments increasing regulations on carbon emissions and supply chains, businesses now must report on a range of metrics other than the bottom line. Aside from being the right thing to do, mistakes can be extremely costly both in reputation and in fines. Founded in 2000, EQS Group exists to make corporate compliance, investor relations and ESG reporting easier with its cloud-based EQS Cockpit resource.
The EQS Cockpit allows streamlining of a wide range of compliance processes, including relatively obscure matters such as whistleblower protection which have recently cost firms large amounts of money (see for instance Barclays receiving a $15 million fine along with massive reputational damage for failing to protect a whistleblower). In a time when governments such as Germany are increasing compliance requirements on supply chain to deal with the scourge of human trafficking, such a solution is likely to be particularly appreciated.
As expected of a company providing a much needed enterprise service, EQS Group has been in demand in recent years, seeing an almost 20% increase in revenue over 2022 and adding nearly 250 new corporate customers to its books. This growth is likely to continue, driven by the introduction of the EU whistleblower directive across the EU member states, a new investment from Thomas Bravo and by EQS Group's continuing marketing efforts as it expands into additional markets.
