Junior Backend Engineer

Parcel Perform is looking for an amazing team member to support us in Software engineering!

You have good web development skills, experiences in Back-end development, you’re technically savvy, and have a nice grasp on coding techniques? Are you also interested in e-commerce and like to take on new challenges? Help us drive Parcel Perform’s growth and join our team! We are looking for you!

WE NEED YOU ON OUR TEAM!

As a backend engineer, you will be building scalable systems with microservices. You will get to write codebases that are small and focused on doing one thing well. We choose microservices for technology freedom, resilience, and scalability, though there will be a lot of communication between services, much automation and tons of metrics we need to keep an eye on.

Such a system isn’t easy, especially with a focus on good engineering practices. But that is ok. We aren’t here for ease anyway. We are here for people who want to operate at the next level in their careers.
