Lead Backend Engineer

Salary Competitive

Weld is growing with rapid speed, which means rapidly growing engineering needs 🚀 That’s why we’re looking for someone who can drive our technical direction and take our engineering efforts to the next level.

We're believers that software can feel magical if done right, and we put value on craftsmanship over quick hacks. We're on a mission to enable all companies become more data-driven and about to embark on an incredible adventure. So, if you want to jump on the early-stages of this growth journey and come in and really make a difference, we could be a match!


The role

You’ll be part of our engineering team which currently consists of two other senior backend engineers and a front-end engineer. You’ll be taking care of a team and making sure that everyone has the tools needed to learn and grow, setting the technical direction and making sure all the blockers are taken care of. You’ll also be responsible for stakeholder management (both internal and externally).


The product

Next generation data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery and the new contender Firebolt are becoming the standard place to centralize all your data, since they have become affordable and highly performant.

Built on top of modern data warehousing, Weld is a tool for companies of all sizes to become truly data-driven. We provide state-of-the-art data infrastructure that works in a few clicks, without the need of hardcore data engineering. In that way Weld enables powerful analytics and workflows that can take a company to the next level.

Our first product enables you to easily sync data between your data warehouse and SaaS apps such as Hubspot, Intercom or Salesforce. We plan to quickly expand into multiple parts of the data stack.


Our tech

We primarily use Typescript both in frontend and backend, as well as Node.js for the backend. Our API is GraphQL based. We host on AWS and everything is running in docker containers on AWS managed infrastructure which allows for minimal overhead when scaling.  You can expect to be contributing across all parts of the stack :-)


Our team

We're today a team of 20+ people spread around the world with HQ in Copenhagen (we’re growing each month so when you read this we might be more 😉). We're all generalists; each with our expertise and constantly picking up new challenges as well as giving a helping hand whenever needed. We're currently looking for people who are eager to learn and who are not afraid of building things end-to-end. We want to find curious minds who can pick up a given problem and solve it. We'd like entrepreneurial minds to join us, who excel in the early stages of a fast-growing company.

We're headquartered in the heart of Copenhagen, but we're very remote-friendly.


How we work

We focus highly on creating a culture that's vibrant, fun, exciting and challenging. We’re achieving this by having an extremely talented and passionate team, who fundamentally believe that we're better together. We value ownership and you can expect to be given much freedom and responsibility, while we work closely together as a team.

We're remote-friendly and strive to make sure we create the best office- and remote experience. We do this by for example having social events together and meeting up for team camps around the world each quarter.


We're hoping that you;

  • have experience with an object oriented language (preferably Typescript)

  • know how to build application frameworks and generalising code structures to increase developer productivity

  • strive to write simple, maintainable and understandable code

  • have experience with leading a team of developers

  • have experience with data engineering is a plus


Your friends say you’re;

  • a people’s person: strong listening skills, humble, and curious

  • a real team player - we have no room for sharp elbows, politics, or egos

  • someone who you would love to have a coffee with 

  • someone who loves to share their knowledge and coach others to learn and grow

     

What’s in it for you?

  • opportunity to learn from a strong team and room to make mistakes, grow and learn everyday

  • competitive salary and commission on top

  • work in a spacious office in central Copenhagen right by Gammel Strand or remotely (your choice!)

  • 25 days paid vacation

  • flexible work: working from home when you want, where you want, why you want to (we trust you)

  • loads of fun events and activities to join (we're talking game nights, wakeboarding, friday bars, and yoga)


Some nice things that we do ❤️

  • your own Pleo card (company card) for no out of pocket spending, and full autonomy

  • free lunch everyday

  • breakfast on Monday mornings together with the team

  • team camps around the world - remotes flown in (around once a quarter) for team building and learning (hurry up and apply already so we can bring you to the next one!)


Our growth

We are proud to be backed by some top European VC funds as well as business angels and we're sure that 2021 will be a big year for the company! Join us in the beginning on this fantastic journey - you won't regret it :-)
