Senior Backend Developer

at  ResQ Club

30% of the food produced worldwide is wasted. It is estimated that 11 million tons of food ends up in the trash instead of in hungry mouths every year. ResQ Club was created to solve this huge and complex problem – in other words, to bring global food waste to zero. But our mission doesn’t stop at just food waste. We envision a society where people are conscious of their consumption and the waste it generates.
Impossible problems require unconventional minds. We are constantly looking for talented people who can challenge the status quo, find creative yet sustainable solutions, and – as empathic team members – do their part in making sure the work is meaningful and fun for everyone involved.
We are currently strengthening the team and hiring a Senior Backend Developer to support our product growth and international expansion. You will work on our partner-facing apps as part of our Product team. You will be directly involved in the technical design and architecture of the software, with many opportunities to take ownership of features or components. There will be space for you to express your creativity, both in technical and product design.
Within 2 months, we expect that you will be contributing code but potentially not at full productivity. Within 6 months, we expect you will be fully onboarded onto the team, capable of independently handling development tasks and suggesting improvements to our processes and technology.

As a Senior Backend Developer at ResQ Club, you will…

• Work closely with the team to implement backend features
• Help guide the decision-making about system and software architecture as well as technology choices
• Identify bottlenecks in our current systems to ensure reliability, scalability, and security
• Collaborate with the larger product team on ways of working and best practices
