Senior Backend Engineer (f/m/d) – Process and Workflow
What if… your work empowered change in an industry that essentially impacts the prosperity of the entire world? Forto is in business to exactly do that – disrupt logistics! Simplifying global trade has been our mission from day one. Our exponentially growing team of technology and logistics experts forge ahead each day to deliver a highly transparent, frictionless, and sustainable digital supply chain while chasing our moonshot goal of achieving climate-neutral operations by 2025.
In our Engineering department we solve one of the biggest challenges of global logistics and supply chain management: reducing the industry's high complexity with a digital and sustainable approach. We architect creative solutions that drive efficiency and innovation.
Your role
As a Senior Backend Engineer (f/m/d) in the Process and Workflow team, you will build and maintain the operations’ documentation tools. From document uploads, management, and document generation from system data, to AI data extraction for system updates, you will work hard to empower Forties in the Operations team to deal with documents effectively.
You will
- Enable and maintain a high degree of automation: ending faxes, emails, and phone calls in logistics once and for all, thereby creating an opportunity for meaningful tasks for the Forties rather than working on tedious manual tasks
- Be actively being involved in a team: own the full cycle of designing, building, and maintaining highly scalable and available software, as well as continuously improving existing systems, including refactoring critical components of our platform
- Explore and implement cutting-edge software design patterns to help solve very challenging problems we are facing within an evolving domain
- Be exposed to challenges, such as leading engineering-wide initiatives, interacting with different teams and stakeholders, and writing concise Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)
- Mentor others in the engineering team, explore new challenges, and enable your team growth
What you bring
- Strong skills with most of the back-end technologies we use: NodeJS, Javascript, Typescript, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, message queuing systems or Kubernetes
- Experience with multiple databases both within and outside the relational paradigm, with the ability to maintain and use a particular paradigm and reason about its usage for different use cases.
- Experience with any major cloud provider is welcome
- Professional attitude towards software craftsmanship with a good understanding of different types of testing and why TDD is important
- Hands-on experience building distributed backend applications to address complex challenges such as data consistency and quality, latency, and availability
- Resilience – ability to work in a large and high-paced team while remaining calm and focused
- Strong desire to learn and improve; you see demanding tasks as challenges and opportunities
- Proactive attitude and reliability, willingness to engage with our users, and a communicative and collaborative spirit
- A sense of fun and easy-going attitude in the day-to-day work and interactions
- Working proficiency and communication skills in verbal and written English
