Job description

We are seeking a energetic and  motivated engineer who is as passionate as we are about developing and delivering great product.  We want someone who is excited to be part of an engineering team that is developing the backend to operationalize Decent’s health plan and decentralize it in the future. Decent will offer more affordable healthcare by aligning incentives to improve health, reduce costs, and put members at the center of their care.

This role requires hands-on experience building backend code  and an understanding of microservices architectures.  You will work directly with our experienced team of developers and CTO in a highly collaborative team environment.

Decent currently has a small, but growing team in
Gdańsk, Poland.  This position will work from home initially, but we plan to open an office in Gdańsk once we have a slightly larger team.  This position offers additional compensation in the form of EQUITY!

What You Will Be Doing
  • Participate in the design and focus on the implementation of our Java-based microservices. This includes developing, testing and deploying the code that you write. 
  • Collaborate with our product folks and frontend engineering to understand needs and define appropriate APIs. 
  • Own monitoring, alarming, analytics, and reporting on all services you build, ensuring high performance and responsiveness.
  • Learn about decentralization and blockchain systems as Decent evolves.  

What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience developing reliable, scalable backend systems, especially in microservices-based or distributed environments.
  • Demonstrable, in-depth knowledge and experience with at least one modern language, such as Java, Python, or Ruby. (send us a link to your GitHub)
  • Strong Spring framework skills.
  • Strong comprehension of computer science fundamentals, object-oriented design patterns, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Curious, continually learning, and eager to share your newfound knowledge with others.

What Will Make You Stand Out
  • Demonstrable interest in blockchain and decentralization and a desire to share the vision of Decent to build a decentralized protocol 
  • The ability to articulate the pros/cons of different frameworks, languages, and microservice vs monolith design patterns.
  • Have worked in a devops/CI environment. 
  • Built and run services in a container based environment, especially Kubernetes
