Do you want to be part of shaping the live sports experience of tomorrow?
Sports team is part of Schibsted’s Media Product & Technology division and is responsible for
VG Live and Aftonbladet
Målservice services, as well as Sports data API platform.
VG Live holds a leading position for live scores and statistics in Norway, on average serving more than 200 000 users every day. Aftonbladet Målservice is aiming for a similar position in Sweden.
As a full-stack JavaScript developer, you will be a vital part of our tightly knit cross-discipline team of 9 people based in Krakow and Oslo. You will have the possibility to apply your diverse skillset to create one of the most popular live sports web destinations in Norway and Sweden onboarding new datasets, adding new user-facing features and scaling the backend to the peak load for Manchester United vs Rosenborg game 😉
Here is a taste of what you would be able to work on:
- Build resilient Node.js services consuming third-party APIs
- Massage, transform and store all-things-sports data using a loosely-coupled microservice architecture based on SNS/SQS, PostgreSQL and Redis.
- Design, document, operate and evolve general-purpose and BFF APIs using hapi and JOI.
- Deliver instant push updates to tens of thousands of browsers and our mobile app using Websockets and MQTT.
- Use Kubernetes via AWS EKS to deploy and orchestrate a microservice fleet.
- Build snappy and feature-rich user-facing frontends as well as tools for internal use using React/redux-saga and webpack.
Your daily agenda will include not just writing the maintainable and well-tested code — you’d work closely with our Product Manager and UX manager, take part in feature and architectural discussions and brainstorming meetings, join virtual pair-programming sessions, help our stakeholders in the newspapers to get the best possible match coverage.
