Role
Who you are
- Curiosity and passion to constantly learn new things is also a key part of this role
- Expertise with Ruby and willingness to learn our stack. We use Ruby as our main programming language in the backend, but we are not afraid to use other languages if they are the right tool for the job
- Interest in building scalable Serverless systems using AWS technologies such as Lambda, Kinesis or API Gateway
- Understanding how to model and build applications using microservices architecture patterns. If you have experience with Kubernetes and gRPC is even better
- Strong software architecture & data modeling skills to base engineering decisions on product vision
- Experience in DevOps and Infrastructure is a plus, especially in AWS, Terraform, Docker or Kubernetes
- Ability to help and improve the work of your colleagues through your teamwork and communication skills
- Experience managing, monitoring and troubleshooting production grade web applications
What the job involves
- Senior Backend Software Engineers at Dealfront work mainly on building APIs, background data processing flows, and integrations
- Being a very data intensive application, much of the work on the backend involves optimising and effectively using various databases - AWS RDS & Aurora, AWS DynamoDB, Elasticsearch and Redis, to name a few
- Our backend consists of multiple small-to-medium sized Ruby and Ruby on Rails apps combined with Serverless components (AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Kinesis, SQS) on the side
- We pride ourselves on keeping apps working smoothly, and the codebase tidy and well-tested
- We dedicate time for upgrades, refactoring, and overall improvements for developer productivity and happiness
- Equally, there are opportunities to learn and be involved in the infrastructure, DevOps and serverless development
- Being part of the Backend development team involves working with a broad series of components and technologies
- These include (but are not limited to): data pipelines and systems built with serverless and streaming technologies, or the internal data services used across the platform
- We are always looking to improve how we work and what tools we use
- We dedicate time to research and test new technologies in order to improve our systems and make them work more efficiently and reliably
- Work with streaming and serverless components supporting the data collection pipelines such as AWS Kinesis and AWS Lambda
- Work optimising and storing effectively all the data we collect, using various databases such as DynamoDB, AWS RDS & Aurora, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch or Redis
- Build internal applications mainly in Ruby, running in Kubernetes or AWS and communicating with gRPC, event based and streaming technologies
- Provide code reviews to your peers
- For people with skills and interest, we offer possibilities to work on our Ember.js frontend too, enabling people to grow to a fullstack role
Our take
Oftentimes, sales and marketing teams operate separately instead of in tandem. For instance, the marketing department might deploy digital marketing strategies to drive traffic to the company's website, using marketing funnels to convert them into leads, while the sales department cold-contacts people - an expensive and ineffective process that Dealfront aims to update.
The company - formed from the 2022 merger of Echobot and Leadfeeder - supplies a go-to-market platform that bridges the gap between marketing analytics and sales. With Dealfront, businesses can concentrate their efforts on the highest-value customers (companies that are actively searching or in need of their solutions), cutting down time lost pursuing leads that do not convert to sales.
Post-merger, the company has raised substantial funding that will be invested in international expansion and hiring new talent - with the rebranded Dealfront name already serving upwards of 8000 clients. Operating in a strong market, that is expected to surpass $9.5bn by 2028, Dealfront is well positioned to meet, and possibly exceed, its growth plans.
