Backend Development at BUZZN
BUZZN Team
Dear All,
At BUZZN, we are building an ecosystem for the future of decentralised energy through tools that help the environment and human beings take center stage – not technology, money, and bureaucracy.
For this we seek experienced software developers who are enthusiastic about building products and have the following interests and skills.
- strong background in software development, ideally with a degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Mathematics or similar
- fluent in Ruby (frameworks other than Ruby on Rails)
- knowledge of DRY principle
- knowledge of designing modern REST or GraphQL(ish) APIs
- deep understanding of object-oriented programming and test-driven development
- deep understanding of writing tools that talk HTTP
- start-up attitude, self-motivation and excellent communication skills
- good English language skills (German is a plus)
- penchant for the decentral (energy) revolution
Our most important product is a Web Platform that brings together energy consumers and producers. The backend is written in Ruby with Roda whereas the frontend is written in Typescript and uses React and Redux. We also use Rust in other projects. We heavily use software tests, such as unit tests and integration tests.
Sounds like you? These could be your responsibilities:
- contributing to a modern FLOSS web application
- designing and maintaining a robust hosting solution (we are open to Kubernetes and NixOS)
- writing tools and libraries
- shaping the future of the company with your ideas and actions
The position is with flexible hours (80-100%). The center of operation is in Munich, Germany. We currently have two co-working days per week, where we meet in our Munich office, and schedule additional co-working days as required. We work the rest of the week remotely.
