Senior backend developer to combat climate change
Hi there! You know you're a great developer. But do you have any idea how powerful you are with your programming skills and that you can use them to literally make this world a better place?
In ACT, we have developed a scalable mobile marketplace for sustainable grocery shopping, which will empower consumers to start shopping sustainably almost overnight with the ACT app, changing the direction of their combined purchasing power towards producers who respect the environment and treat their workers well.
If your eyes widened and lit up a bit, read on!
Responsibilities:
- Take responsibility for rewriting our backend system (microservice based architecture using Java Spring Boot and some Scala). We want something closer to monolith first, then monitor what needs scale, then break it up accordingly after launch. Some code can be reused and the deployment pipeline all the way to Amazon EC2 is handled well by our DevOps engineer so you can focus on core development. Since both iOS and Android clients are almost ready to launch, a detailed ER diagram in sync with product development is ready and architecture diagrams to be used as inputs as you see fit are described you can get from 0 to MVP launch as fast as you want.
- Further develop a scalable backend architecture in compliance with best development practices including migration from development infrastructure to a more scalable cloud infrastructure e.g. lambda based or similar.
- Optimize deployment pipeline through CI, CD in collaboration with our DevOps engineer
- Implement new great features
- Help launch MVP of the ACT shopping list app
- Next prepare launch to a larger market in Europe
What skills do I need to accomplish this?
- 3-5 Years of experience with java development
- TDD, CI, CD
- Scrum based development
Plus with experience in:
- Devops, linux commands/batch scripting
- PostgreSQL (or current db)
- RDF based Graph databases and scaling (our data scientists are working on the next db increment)
- Lambda, Kubernetes
- Development and production pipeline telemetry
- Feature switching, trunk based development (or not)
- Web development, React

The best thing is that, due to the readiness and maintainability of our platform, this is something the right person would be able to take the lead on.
