Jobs in Germany
This job position has been removed from Arbeitnow and might not be hiring still.
Hi. I am Guillermo, the hiring manager for this position and backend developer lead of StreamingGuide. Our mission is to propel justwatch.com to become the premier streaming guide worldwide.
We predominantly utilize Golang and Kubernetes, interfacing with GRPC APIs from teams such as Content (housing our extensive database) and Martech (for ad display). Additionally, we work with databases like Scylla and Elasticsearch, ensuring seamless operation even under high loads exceeding 5k requests per second.
About the Role
Currently, we're tackling challenges like integrating video ads, fortifying against scraping, enhancing response times, and optimizing the click-through rate for our recommender engine. As part of our team, you'll contribute by coding in Go, gradually assuming more responsibilities including infrastructure management such as monitoring, deployment, and debugging.
The hiring process
Following an initial chat with our Talent team, you'll engage with either myself or Martin, our VP of Engineering, to discuss cultural alignment and assess mutual fit. If we proceed, a coding challenge awaits, a collaborative 1.5-hour session where we'll tackle fictional functionalities together. You will share your screen and code on your machine. If needed, we can also provide you with a coding environment in Linux.
What We're Looking For
We seek individuals who are naturally curious and enjoy exploring technology. Before the interview, we expect you to share code samples or your GitHub profile showcasing your work. Proficiency in Go, including concepts like goroutines, web server creation, and API consumption, is essential. A genuine passion for movies and shows is also highly valued. It is also important for us that you share our passion for movies and shows.
What we provide
You are not just a task execution machine. I (and the rest of JustWatch) want to support your career growth as a developer. We will be working together and supporting in any way. We also have a nice office (feel free to visit us) where you can find me almost every day. We will provide you with anything that is required to fulfill our needs.
Media is important to us and we are always happy to hear from people who enjoy film! If you feel like you are missing some of the hard skills – don’t worry, we are hiring for the attitude, values, and personality.
If we caught your attention and you're eager to delve into our perspectives and thought processes, we recommend immersing yourself in our blog post, which elaborates on these subjects:
