We're a global marketplace for refurbished devices, helping lower our collective environmental impact by providing trustworthy, affordable tech with 92% less carbon emissions than new.\nYep, you read that right. Turns out refurbished tech is way better for the planet than new. In fact, With every device purchased on Back Market, our positive impact on the planet grows. From our Customer Care representatives to our software engineer, every individual at Back Market cuts the planet - and consumers - a break. Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.\nAre you ready to join us?\nAbout the team\nWe are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Appmericans squad .\nBack Market is building their first engineering team in NYC!\nWe are looking for passionate team members to join our office of 40+ people in Union Square, and a 250+ engineering team worldwide. This team's mission is to help us spread the word about refurbished tech to save the planet and your wallet at the same time.\nWe are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep backend expertise to play a key role in our strategic US market expansion.\nOur goal is to enhance user engagement by accelerating the development of innovative features and optimizing the overall customer experience across web and app platforms.\nAs one of the engineers in our first US-based engineering team, you will work with Software Engineers, two iOS engineers and an iOS tech lead/manager, collaborating closely on full-stack solutions that power our US customer experience. While your primary focus will be backend services and architecture, you'll also contribute to web frontend development when needed to deliver complete, end-to-end features.\nYour expertise in scalable, performant backend platforms built with Go and Python, combined with your ability to contribute to modern web frontends, will be key to the team's success. You will work closely with a product manager and UX designer to ensure the right features are designed and delivered with quality and velocity. You will participate in the Back Market backend community, partnering with others to continuously improve our practices.\nWe’re looking for versatile engineers who show strong ownership and are motivated to take on new challenges across the technical stack while helping us move our technology forward.\nYou will be working in an agile \"build it and run it\" environment where engineering teams build, launch, monitor and support the product that they own.\nDriven by the desire to craft outstanding products, you understand how to deliver seamless user experiences at scale.\nWe are looking for passion in creating systems by producing clean, consistent and well-organised code.\nAs well as a good team player supporting colleagues and creating a learning and sharing environment!\nWhat will be your next missions?\nBuild efficient micro services that power both web and mobile experiences, mastering the squad's technical stack and delivering features autonomously with comprehensive testing methodologies.\n\nDesign and implement robust backend services using Go as the primary language, with Python where appropriate, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability for high-quality user experiences.\n\nContribute to web frontend development using modern frameworks (Vue.js/TypeScript), bridging backend and frontend by designing clear API contracts and delivering complete, end-to-end features.\n\nCollaborate with a cross-functional team of peers from various disciplines (iOS, Backend, Frontend, SRE, CyberSec, Data, etc.), to foster a culture of technical excellence and shared knowledge.\n\nTake ownership of squad-level technical projects, managing dependencies and delivering solutions that realize engineering and product visions while balancing scope with delivery timelines.\n\nBuild and maintain observability ecosystems using tools like Datadog to track performance, errors, and core functionality, Big Query to gain data insights, and implement strategies to prevent regressions.\n\nDrive quality improvements by mastering the complete SDLC, delivering high-quality, non-disruptive releases to production, and taking ownership of Quality of Service enhancements.\n\nParticipate in on-call rotation, leading incident response and chaos mitigation for squad-owned services, including hotfix processes and root cause analysis.\n\nWrite clean, maintainable code with insightful code reviews, challenging technical approaches pragmatically and advocating for simpler solutions backed by data.\n\nShare knowledge through documentation and team discussions, beginning to provide valuable input on topics outside your immediate area, and supporting team members through technical guidance.\nOur technical environment\nBackend stack: Python - FastAPI , SQLAlchemy, Celery, Golang, Django (being phased out)\nFrontend stack: VueJS, Typescript, Nuxt, Revolve ( our design system)\nData: PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, BigQuery\nInfrastructure: GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Datadog, ArgoCD, CircleCI, Github\n\nMain technical challenges Traditionally based on a monolith, Back Market's technical stack has been undergoing a radical transformation in recent years into a distributed and service-oriented architecture. This transition provides an opportunity to modernize the platform, raising engineering standards.\nBuilding a set of efficient and loosely coupled services is one of the main challenges to face for the years to come. But teams are excited to independently control their release schedules, manage their data, SLAs, tools, and - ultimately - be responsible for their own service-offering. Meanwhile, Platform teams are working to provide a scalable, consistent and secure platform, one that makes engineering teams more productive.\nAs a Senior Engineer: Produce, Innovate & Share\nFacilitates meaningful discussions around complex issues.\n\nSuggests or makes improvements for existing designs and architecture for quarter-bounded projects or mission-critical areas in their squad.\n\nExplores technologies with sizable potential impact for the team.\n\nIs able to contribute actively to high impact chaos mitigation.\n\nIdentifies and advocate for prioritization of tasks that can optimize delivery\nRequired Skills and Experience\n\n5+ years of backend engineering experience with strong proficiency in Go (primary requirement) and proven experience with Python\n\nSolid understanding of microservices architecture, with experience building and maintaining high-traffic backend services and regular feature delivery\n\nWorking knowledge of modern web frontend technologies (Vue.js, React, or similar) with comfort in JavaScript/TypeScript for full-stack contribution\n\nDemonstrated ability to deliver high-quality, non-disruptive production releases with strong SDLC knowledge and comprehensive testing experience\n\nExperience building observability systems (monitoring, alerting, tracing) and using data to drive improvements, with incident management and on-call experience\n\nStrong knowledge of databases (PostgreSQL, Redis) and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), with expertise in API design (REST, GraphQL)\n\nDemonstrated pragmatism in technical decision-making, able to challenge approaches diplomatically and question task legitimacy when appropriate\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to explain technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences in cross-functional teams\n\nProven ability to work autonomously within squad scope, managing deliverables while contributing to team knowledge through documentation and code reviews\n\nRecruitment process\nHR screening - (45 min)\nCoding & Testing module - Backend (60 min)\nSystem design feature (60 min)\nData module (45 min)\nTech leadership + Meet your manager ( 75 min)\nBM Values (45 min)\nHybrid policy - NY office\n3 days / week at the office - Monday is mandatory\nWHY SHOULD YOU JOIN US ?\nAt Back Market, we’re committed to hiring and supporting diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives - it’s one of the reasons we’re such a high-scoring certified B Corp company (93.2).\nNo matter your role and seniority level, you’ll enjoy impact-driven work with hands-on career development in an innovative, driven, and fast-paced environment - with benefits to match, like:\n- A mission driven work environment where your day to day makes an impact on the planet.
