Senior Backend Developer – Architect To Be

Our Vision is an all-communicating world, based on trust and security. We have a mission to deliver business continuity through cyber-security solutions for customers who want to connect and protect their business critical operations, information and reputations. In a world full of geo-politics; where secure communication is a must and our competition originates in the US, China or Israel - what we do is important!

We are now seeking an outstanding team player to our Technology team in Warszawa (rest of Team is located at Clavister HQ in Örnsköldsvik in northern Sweden). We are looking for a new colleague with the ability to understand and analyze technical problems, who wants to take responsibility and grow as a professional as well as a person and have fun with us while doing it! Our way of working is based on agile- and lean-principles, we mix Discovery- and Delivery-work in our Sprints, we incorporate systemic innovation and trust the Team to make the right decisions and apply continuous improvements.

You will be responsible for some brand new, back-end components that form the core of our new service platform. The service platform is new, design work started Q4 2020, first commercial customer launch is scheduled for end of Q3 2021 with Identity as-a-Service as the first commercial offering. After Identity, Firewall as-a-Service and other features will follow. What we provide is Security as-a-Service (compliant with Gartner’s SASE concept) - key principles governing our design are: security by design, portability and efficiency. Structure is multi-tenant and based on micro-services. We implement the platform using modern open source assets like: React, GraphQL, NodeJS, Kubernetes, MongoDB, MySQL/Galera, Elastic, Zabbix, TerraForm and Ansible. We run our platform on EU infrastructure - not on US Cloud - as part of our strategy is to be a 100% European service provider to European entities.

As Senior Backend Developer you care about holistic end-user experience, high quality code across client, server and databases, agile values, modern engineering practices, and sharing what you know to help others grow.

We believe that quality of our work is a shared responsibility within the development team, and we approach this by modern engineering practices like peer reviews, continuous integration and automated testing.

Apart from back-end component ownership you will join our current two service architects in ongoing technical roadmap and and service architecture related work with the goal of taking full responsibility of service architecture over time. As the service and service platform are new and rapidly evolving this is a truly challenging responsibility but also extremely rewarding in terms of personal growth for the right candidate.
