Your role

As a Senior Backend Engineer (f/m/d) in the Process and Workflow team, you will build and maintain the operations’ documentation tools. From document uploads, managemens, document generation from system data, to AI data extraction for system updates, you will be working hard to empower Forties in the Operations team to deal with documents effectively.

• Mentor others in the engineering team, explore new challenges, and enable your team's growth

What you bring

• Experience with multiple databases both within and outside the relational paradigm, with the ability to maintain and use a particular paradigm and reason about its usage for different use cases.
• Experience with any major cloud provider is welcome
• Professional attitude towards software craftsmanship with a good understanding of different types of testing and why TDD is important
• Hands-on experience building distributed backend applications to address complex challenges such as data consistency and quality, latency, and availability

• Strong desire to learn and improve; you see demanding tasks as challenges and opportunities
• Proactive attitude and reliability, willingness to engage with our users, and a communicative and collaborative spirit
• A sense of fun and an easy-going attitude in the day-to-day work and interactions
