Hi there! We love that you’re here, Please check out this challenge and take it on to be considered for this role.

HoneyCoin’s mission is nothing short of building the infrastructural layer for the transfer of value for the future. We're starting by building the next-generation blockchain based financial layer through our products Honeycoin and Hive. If you're into next-level infrastructure at a large scale, read on!

Thousands of people use HoneyCoin and dozens of businesses — all moving millions of dollars across Africa, the US, UK & some parts of Europe with this number increasing every day. That means all of these people trust us to deliver a fast, reliable, and secure experience, and we value this more than anything. We want to keep earning trust, while also continuing to amaze our users with the use-cases HoneyCoin’s infrastructure can power. This is where you come in — to help us build scalable, performant, back-end infrastructure that works seamlessly with our front-end systems.

We're hiring a senior backend engineer (EMEA time zones) to join our small team of A people and build the foundations of Cron. Email our founder directly at david@honeycoin.app.

Why join

As a small team, we work in a highly collaborative environment and you'll have the opportunity to participate in every part of the business from idea to production.

Impact : Build the foundation and shape engineering practices, team, and company culture.
Excellence : Practice your craft with other ICs in a well-organized, fast-paced environment.
Ownership : Influence the direction of product and strategy — we care about your opinions.
Fun : Working in a start-up can be hard, but we make it real fun and definitely worth your while.

What you'll do (responsibilities)

We're looking for an experienced individual contributor who enjoys working alongside other experienced engineers and designers to quickly build and iterate on backend / API / platform.

Build the time layer for the Internet : You'll build the infrastructure for Cron from the ground up, having a huge and direct impact by shipping your work to users on prod daily.

Use modern web tech and influence the stack : The frontend is Angular, the backend Node / Express, and we use TypeScript across the full stack. As we build out our stack, you get to make critical choices and lay the foundations. You’ll be working on the GCP platform, and with technologies like Firebase Firestore, CRON jobs.

Self-direct your work and co-own the product : You're a technical founder type and will have autonomy and responsibility. You'll be involved in shaping the roadmap and will own HoneyCoin’s exploding backend needs.

Create a robust and scalable backend : Good understanding of database (Relational or NoSQL) internals like transactions, indexes. Schema design will be a huge part of your workflow. Build performant REST API with Redis cache, delta sync, and offline support using IndexedDB, 3rd party integrations, product analytics, transactional email, and service monitoring. We currently deploy to Heroku to keep DevOps simple and will be looking for you to establish viable long-term cloud infrastructure and operations.

Build UI components : You'll implement basic UI based on Figma mocks and our design system. You'll collaborate with designers and frontend engineers on user-facing features powered by your backend code. We rapidly ship UI that has a native feel to it by polishing CSS, interaction states, and animations.

Solve interesting technical problems : Bring your full creativity to solve super-challenging technical problems : from complex backend architecture with 3rd party integrations, syncing app state, to real-time collaboration.

What we're looking for (qualifications)

You're a senior IC that has built such systems before and this is not an area you have to ramp up on. We don't require any formal qualifications but value learning new skills — especially from one another. We are looking for someone that feels a sense of duty to the users of their work.

Highly productive while producing quality code : You enjoy pushing out features in a pragmatic and maintainable way. You know when to use duct tape and when to lay a foundation.

Solid experience : 4 years of experience building backend API’s on Node.js is a strong bonus. Working with the GCP platform, Node / Express backend and with technologies like Firebase Firestore, CRON jobs and Docker would be an added benefit.

Curious and quick learning : We don't expect you to have experience in every technology we use, but to learn and be productive quickly. Owning several repos and jumping into all of them doesn't scare you.

Design sensibility : While you'll co-craft the interface with top designers and frontend engineers, we expect you to have a knack for great UX, such that you feel if something is off and can flag it, or better yet, polish it.

Attention to detail while pragmatic : We strive for few slips in code, Git hygiene, and clear written communication — all while remaining low-ego and simply focusing on solutions.

Interested in productivity apps / systems : You might use your calendar to time block, try out Chrome extensions, configure custom app launchers, or self-optimize in other ways.

Good heart : We don't tolerate jerks and are generally just friendly people.

What we offer (compensation & benefits)

We'll treat you well. If there are any other benefits that are important to you, we'd like to hear.

Competitive salary : multiple options based on your desire for ownership.

Health benefits : We’ll cover health insurance premiums in your local country.

Fully-distributed culture : live and work where you'd like (EMEA time zones).

Company Off-site : company-paid off-site trips.

Hardware setup : new MacBook (may include big display and other accessory stipends).
