What You'll Do:
This position will help build the primary customer interface points for Koalafi, focusing on our back-end systems. You’ll develop in the latest technologies and help us build a robust set of APIs that are not just functional, but a joy to use. You’ll get a chance to collaborate cross functionally and interact directly with customers. You’ll work on mission-critical systems that have a direct impact on the business. We are building out a microservice-based approach to our new system, leveraging GoLang, Postgres, and Kubernetes (among other tools) within AWS.
