Senior Web Engineer
Blok, India
Job Description
At Blok, we are on our way to revolutionize how people consume groceries. We believe in a world where getting everything you need, when you need it, sustainably, is the new normal. And it shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes. We're uniquely positioned to do lead this revolution. Why?
Our founding and early team has held senior positions at Deliveroo, Uber, Glovo, Mercadona or Unilever and understands what it takes to profoundly change one of the highest growth industries of the year.
We value our people- our delivery and warehouse staff are full time employees, not gig workers.
We value our planet - our groceries will be delivered using electric bikes/bicycles so we don't harm the environment.
We build beautiful technology. We want to enable and empower all our stakeholders, whether they are our riders and pickers, customers, our datawhizkids so they can access what they need as effortlessly and easily with fewest possible taps of a button, without compromising their privacy.
We’re recruiting a team of #BLOKSTARS. Join us if you want to be an instrumental part of a small team that could change the future. Join us:
- if you want more in life than commuting to/from HSR or Bannerghatta to a glass office with a big logo
- if you want to own a module or a product and drive how it gets built from the ground up instead of making piecemeal changes to code at the behest of your boss
- if you want coworkers from across the globe, who bring the best parts of family -- humor and honesty without the bad parts of family -- meddling and undermining.
Who you are:
1. Customer-obsessed, both with your internal and external clients - always striving to deliver the highest customer experience
2. Someone who has their basics right - a deep focus on data, clear communication and meticulous organisation
3. A problem-solver, who can rigorously prioritise and get things done
4. Humble amp; a good listener, not afraid to admit you're wrong or too impatient to understand your team or customer's painpoints
As a Senior Software Developer we expect you to:
- Design and develop production-ready microservices for high performance web applications
- Deliver back end software solutions that scale well and are reliable
- Prototype rapid solutions for new requirements as we move across countries and geographies
- Collaborate with front end engineers, product managers, delivery staff, warehouse operators and have fun doing it
- Write beautiful efficient code
- Support and troubleshoot deployed systems on the field, do it quickly, politely and fail up
Requirements
We need you to have a minimum of 4 years of relevant software development (could be NodeJS (Express, Sails etc) or PHP (CodeIgniter, Laravel)
We would love it if you also were:
- Proficient in working with Infrastructure services like AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean.
- Comfortable in working with / setting up the pipeline for production code.
- Able to design/implement optimized backend APIs
Benefits
We offer:
- Competitive Salaries
- A steep yet rewarding learning curve with abundant opportunity for growth
- A vibrant, creative and ethical team culture that spans 3 countries (Spain, Italy and India) with more to come.
- Regular team-building and social events (pandemic-permitting!)
- Flexible working environment
- And many more perks to come!
In the future you will read a list of benefits here so amazing that you will probably want to cry. Maybe it will be fancy catered lunches stylish offices or free gym. Who knows.
But the truth is that we are a startup with the first round of funding behind us and are in the process of hiring the first inspiring humans for our team. So, the biggest benefit we can offer you at the moment is being part of the team that will set the foundation for this company. And so we will learn, grow, fail, and succeed together.
And when the time comes we promise to provide you with the best benefits we can. The details - drinks, snacks, gyms, coaching, and the rest - we will figure out together as soon as possible. Deal?
