Backend Software Engineer

Description:

As a backend software engineer, you’ll team up with others in various stacks at Nutshell. You can hone your skills alongside a frontend team that writes for both web and mobile in React + React Native, while you build the GraphQL and cloud infrastructure that powers our app. You’ll work with the data we store in MySQL and Solr on AWS. And with our continuous integration and rapid development stack, you’ll deploy tested, peer-reviewed code to production on your first day.

Great candidates should have:

• Development experience in web application backend languages—PHP, Python, Ruby, or something else
• Working knowledge of modern software development frameworks, including server-side MVC (e.g. Symfony, Rails)
• Strong background in SQL and relational databases
• Background and opinions on HTTP API design—we’ve got a blend of JSON-RPC, REST, and GraphQL
• Experience with unit testing and continuous integration

Our technology stack includes:

• PHP, Symfony, Nginx, MySQL, Solr, Gearman, and more, all running on AWS, managed with Ansible
• React, React Native, Redux, and Webpack for web and mobile frontend tooling
• Vagrant boxes for local development
• GitHub for code management and review
• Continuous integration via Jenkins
