About the team :

The Platform Development Team’s mission is to improve global developers’ experience at Back Market: we identify transverse topics that need extra love and care and develop software, services, and tooling so that feature teams can focus on their specific business perimeter. Our projects may vary from building a new performance tracking service, improving the CI or the CD, building common ground rules for JS bundling optimization, syncing efforts on new data architecture, developing or standardizing a Feature Flag service. Our team is composed of talented engineers with diverse skills and backgrounds such as backend or frontend development, ops, or database.

As engineers, we try our best to stick to some simple principles:

- keep things as simple as possible,

- improve overall resiliency and security of the platform,

- improve and guarantee consistency across teams,

- document technical and architectural decisions.

About the Job :

From a technology perspective, you will be operating MySQL and PostgreSQL clusters in a Cloud Native environment.
