We’re looking for a Medior Backend Developer to expand our team focused on Pricing and Marketplaces. The team is responsible for all integrations with marketplaces such as Amazon or Ebay.

What current projects you will participate in:

• Backend integration with marketplaces - Amazon, Abebooks, Booklooker, Ebay, Allegro
• Listing our books, syncing information, availability, and prices
• Syncing orders from marketplaces into our system
• Finding and resolving problems with marketplace orders
• Managing auth keys and secrets, technical communication, permissions
• Challenges on the role: Each marketplace is different and all marketplaces run suboptimal legacy solutions with high level of problematic and illogical structures - still we need to find a way how to work with these and successfully integrate.

Your profile looks ideally like this:

• You worked with: Typescript (Next.js + AdonisJS) (possible switch from JavaScript), Testing (minimum Unit tests) and know your way around SQL (MySQL)
• A nice bonus is definitely good knowledge of: PHP (historical code sections), AWS, Python, ApacheKafka, RabbitMQ

How we work:

• We run two-week sprints and review our backlog twice a week.
• Once a week we meet for Backend Tech and Frontend Tech meetings with rest of the devs. Every two weeks, we dive into technical discussions for new features.
• We’re honest, direct, and like to laugh at even the most politically incorrect jokes.
• Our office is at Kolbenova metro station, and while you can work from home occasionally, Wednesdays are mandatory in-office days for the entire team.
• Our whole development team currently consists of 19 members (18 developers + CTO).
• We discuss technology challenges at tech meetups, and regularly hold evangelistic meetups on technology and programming approaches..

 What we offer:

• Work with awesome people like our internal systems guru Simon, and CTO David. The team is full of good vibes, and sometimes we go for a beer or rock climbing.
• Listen to a podcast with David (CTO) & Simon to get an even better understanding of how our development team works and what we’re currently tackling.
• We build everything in-house, meaning there’s a wide variety of problems to solve and endless opportunities to learn and innovate.
• You’ll see the results of your work immediately—when we rework or optimize a process, it typically has visible positive effects, not just on the website but also in the warehouse, shipping, customer support, or intake. If something goes wrong, you'll hear about it within minutes!
• An amazing opportunity to have a significant impact on the future of Knihobot and to grow with us exponentially.
• Multisport card, employee discounts on buying and selling books, plus partner discounts.
• One extra week of vacation after one year of cooperation, two extra weeks after two years.
• Possibility to gain ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) and have a financial stake in the company’s success.
• An informal environment and a pragmatic approach to getting things done.
