Job description

Overview

We are seeking a Senior Back-end Engineer to join our team in Newmarket. You will focus on building Golang microservices while potentially engaging in front-end work if you’re interested. You are expected to perform at a high level and contribute to rapid, iterative, and stable solutions for retailers.

You do not need to be an expert in Golang but you must be willing to learn, and you’ll have our full support on this journey.

What you’ll be doing

  • Develop and maintain software by coding, implementing new features, reviewing code, fixing bugs, engaging in peer programming, and responding to incidents
  • Take ownership of features and contribute to impactful coding projects with accountability
  • Break down projects into manageable, actionable tasks to maximise efficiency and deliver value quickly
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to plan and coordinate upcoming tasks
  • Continuously learn and share knowledge through chapter reviews, demos, and mentoring fellow engineers
  • Enhance common services and shared libraries, introduce or upgrade tools and frameworks, improve documentation, and refine best practices and processes

What you need to bring

  • Senior level of experience as a Back-end Engineer including both successes and failures (scars), which help you make better decisions
  • Deep knowledge in at least one of the following : Golang, Java, PHP, C#, C++, Ruby, Python, Elixir
  • Experience working on major systems in one or more languages : ideally you’ve built REST API endpoints on top of data storage layers, and understand concepts like authentication, web security, and the way that frontends consume APIs
  • Ability to mentor and train other Engineers in the team
  • Benefits

  • A flexible work environment that empowers you to do your best work
  • A culture that celebrates performance
  • The chance to make an impact in a team that’s big enough for career growth, but lean enough to make your voice heard
  • Career-defining opportunities
  • Lightspeed share scheme (we are all owners)
  • Unlimited paid time off policy
  • Work remotely from anywhere in the world for up to 60 days per year
  • Health and wellness benefit of $500 per year
  • Mental health online platform and counselling & coaching services
  • Paid leave and assistance for new parents
  • Free LinkedIn Learning license
  • Premium cover if you sign up for health insurance with Southern Cross
  • Exciting events hosted regularly by our Auckland Culture Club
  • Subsidised public transportation to cover up to 75% of commuting costs
  • Secure, full-time parking facilities
  • Dog-friendly office environment
  • Complimentary breakfast and lunch options, plus fresh fruits, snacks, and beverages
  • Newly renovated office space in Newmarket (Auckland)
  • EEO and interview support

    Lightspeed is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to an inclusive and barrier-free workplace. We provide Supported Interviews for candidates who may benefit from additional support. Applicants may disclose criminal convictions; criminal record checks may be part of the hiring process for this role. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
