As a Senior Software Engineer on the Backend team, you will help design and build serverless microservices deployed on AWS. You'll work with Python-based AWS Lambda services, orchestrate microservices communication, and contribute to both backend and frontend (React/TypeScript) as desired. The tech stack includes AWS services (DynamoDB, Glue, StepFunctions, Athena, Timestream), REST and GraphQL APIs, and Python-based automation and testing frameworks (Behave for integration tests, Playwright for UI tests).
Vertice's engineering culture emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and flat hierarchies. Small autonomous teams (Frontend, Backend, Fullstack, QA) operate with Technical Leads and People Managers, deciding their own working methods while maintaining alignment through Chapters—communities of practice that share expertise and standards across the organization. You'll have direct connections to business stakeholders without unnecessary management layers, and People Managers with psychology backgrounds support your growth and well-being.
You should be passionate about programming and service design, eager to learn new technologies, and enjoy collaborative problem-solving. The role values turning ideas into features quickly and thrives on technical discussions where you both challenge and are challenged by colleagues.
Benefits include share options, 25 days vacation, 5 sick/carer's days, group life insurance, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, pension/insurance contributions, GastroPass, FlexiPass or MultiSport card, referral bonuses, and English language courses.
Requirements: The posting does not explicitly state years of experience, required certifications, or formal education requirements. However, the role is positioned as Senior, implying substantial backend engineering experience with serverless architectures, AWS services, Python, and microservices design. Candidates should demonstrate proficiency in the stated tech stack and a track record of building scalable systems.
