We’re looking for a passionate software engineer with very good English skills that possesses hands-on product engineering experience and a deep understanding of the Software Craftsmanship mindset to join our engineering team based in Poland.

This role is open for regular+, senior, lead and staff software engineer levels and compensation is dependent on the candidate's experience and skills.

About our team

Checkout Everywhere, is a small cross-functional team based in US and Europe, building a whole new offering within the Bolt ecosystem. We value relations and solutions more than languages and processes (although these are also important!). We strive for developing a fair and healthy workplace with the culture of inclusiveness in mind, where you're responsible for your colleagues as well as for your own work. We believe it is possible to have fun and learn amazing things with great people around you, while doing meaningful work in a sustainable way. Be good and do good!

About our tech

In order to enable commerce everywhere, our main ongoing technical challenge is to grow the transactional inventory of rich products, refine it and allow our partners to use these products on their surfaces - websites, mobile apps or literally anything. We work with high-frequency product changes - importing large volumes of products from other sources into one data lake, refining them using AI & ML, all based on the Kafka event-stream, to then be available on a near-zero latency checkout.

Our tech stack:

• Go, .NET Core, Node.JS
• React, TypeScript, Astro
• MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, SNS/SQS
• AWS, Netlify, K8S, Github Actions 

We believe in pragmatic approach and proven choices, but we are not afraid of experimenting. Our code is mostly strongly typed, well tested and hosted on AWS. Our fundamental organizational and architectural direction is to design teams and software around full autonomy and ownership, but with the strong focus on transparency and written culture (ie. technical design process). On top of that, product teams are supported by the platform team, whose goal is to increase the developer experience and make the engineering experience seamless.
