Senior SQL Backend Developer

Senior SQL Backend Developer (Remote US)

Heretto, a leader in content management solutions, is looking for outstanding humans that love delivering quality products. We’re a well funded & growing startup with a big heart and giant ideas. Come have a big impact as a Senior SQL Backend Developer.

Role purpose:

This role is a bit unique – you are a developer, but one who gravitates to the SQL aspect. You understand indexes, write contention, different join algorithms, execution plans. In short, Postgres is your happy place. The role also includes normal development, but your SQL is expert level. You will help craft the future of our platform. You understand code, but more importantly, how to write, optimize, and debug SQL.

Responsibilities:

• Writing, debugging, optimizing SQL


• Enhancing and maintaining back end code


• Develop backend code for our APIs and services


• Working with the product team to innovative content management solutions


• Collaborating with QA to automate testing


• Collaborating with DevOps to automate deployment


• Designing and implementing unit tests to ensure quality in our product


• Assisting customers or other team members when deep technical issues arise


• Improving our database and server-side technology

Requirements:

We care that you love building software, not about your current stack. Our core language is Java, but you won’t see a list of languages and toolkits here.

• Friendly and positive attitude


• Flexibility is important, rigid is challenging


• You think in SQL, you and the query optimizer are friends


• You have worked in at least one large application


• You love solving problems – both business and algorithmic


• You have worked in a major cloud and understand the various services and patterns


• Strong English written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to periodically get together for in person collaboration (a few times a year)

Our Tech Stack:

Our software covers a lot of ground and uses a wide tech stack. Highlights include:

• An amazing web editor which competes with products such as Google Docs.


• A distributed backend architecture - which makes extensive use of cloud microservices to warehouse data, and to provide a powerful publishing architecture for our rapidly expanding list of clients.


• Google Cloud (GKE, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, GKE Sandbox)


• GCP and Azure


• Postgres and SQLite


• Javascript, Typescript, React, GWT (Google Web Toolkit)


• Java (w/Spring Boot), TypeScript, NodeJS


• Git, Maven, Ansible

How We Roll:

At our core we are a product company full of pragmatists.

• We care that you have built large applications, not about your current stack


• We care that you have worked with cloud and understand the various services and design patterns


• Ageism is dumb, we love people with experience


• Interview processes shouldn’t be torture, for either of us - you won’t be asked to invert a binary tree in 30 minutes or face any problem that requires a singular insight to solve

Other:

• Employment start: as soon as you’re available


• Employment end: indefinite


• Working hours: US Eastern Time, some 8am ET meetings


• Flexible working hours


• Full benefits


• Great team and atmosphere

This position is full time, we will only consider candidates located in the US. No visa sponsorship. We operate on the Eastern Time zone.
