- Be part of a revenue-generating organization with a charter to increase Oura’s brand recognition and drive product sales. We focus on D2C, B2B, and strategic partnerships with retail partners.
- Partner with Product and cross-functional teams to deliver reliable and scalable solutions using Typescript, DynamoDB, Redis, and AWS technologies.
- Design and implement testable, scalable, and well-documented code and ensure that our platform adheres to the latest security and compliance regulations
- Support customer care team to troubleshoot and resolve issues that impact user experience
We would love to have you on our team if you have:
- 3 - 5 years of backend development experience
- Strong Typescript skills
- Solid knowledge of API best practices, experience with serverless patterns (AWS Lambdas) and Service-Oriented Architectures
- Have designed, built, and deployed scalable, performant web services on AWS
- Have experience with DevOps, including CI/CD pipeline configuration, monitoring and observability for code in production, and crafting quality alerts to support operational excellence.
- Have a pragmatic, entrepreneurial attitude and delivery-focused mindset: you can handle tradeoffs between short-term goals and long-term tech debt
Nice to haves (at least one):
- experience with online payments, PSPs, digital wallets, etc.
- experience building, migrating, or maintaining performant services at scale with multiple internal and external consumers
- experience building commercial solutions for B2B or D2C commerce flows
