Job Description
Kramp Hub creates solutions that aim at giving the AgTech industry a push forward when it comes to competing with technology.
We’re building a multi-tenant microservice platform, serving thousands of users and generating a turnover of one billion euros per year. The product is stable and allows us to focus our time on tackling new technical challenges rather than support.
Kramp Hub ensures a good life/work balance providing you with the freedom to plan your 40-hours work week and keeping in mind that software development is a team game. Our everyday focus is to provide a healthy and inspirational environment, which enables our teammates to grow and learn day by day.
We opted for a hybrid way of working, the teams meet for 1-2 days at the office, while the rest is work from home.
Facts about us:
We use state-of-the-art technologies without legacy systems dragging the team down.
We natively use the cloud, all our infra is maintained as code, we have no on-premise hardware.
We deliver everything via mature, declarative CI/CD pipelines.

Every team has its Product Owner and around 4 developers.
Our Architecture team has a bunch of experience and is always ready to help.
Everyone is invited to take part in making architectural decisions.
We follow the approach: “You build it, you own it, you love it”.
Concepts and technologies that you will work with:
Docker
Languages: Go, Java
Relational (Postgres), document and graph databases (e.g. Neo4j)
Elastic Search
gRPC
Pub/Sub
Google Cloud Platform
If you have worked with a part of the tech stack mentioned above and you are open and curious to learn the rest - we would be happy to receive your application! If you are coming from a cloud environment background it is highly likely that you will be able to land well into the team.
What keeps us busy at the moment:
Restructuring our e-commerce platform to accommodate a marketplace business model - personalizing the platform based on the user behavior.
Enhancing the e-commerce platform with new features (data-driven, personalization project).
Promoting experimentation mindset in the delivery of the new features.
Entering a new phase for our team - onboarding new tenants.
What we can offer:
Startup environment with a financial backbone of a corporate group we are a part of (Kramp Group).
A mature management team that has a clear vision of the company's development and specified goals.
Flat hierarchy and a transparent environment where your feedback is always welcome.

International crowd (20+ nationalities) with different backgrounds and knowledge to learn from.
Home office setup - we will equip your home with what is needed to work comfortably.
Personal and professional development - we find constant learning pretty important, so we will help you out with your initiatives to keep the learning curve steep.
Unlimited holidays with a fair use policy.
Dutch lessons for you and your partner (if you are interested in learning it).

Building a safe, efficient and global rental marketplace for anyone looking for or renting out a place.
Our Core Values 💛
We Care. We Perform. We Evolve.
Your Impact 💥
As we have reached the scaleup phase at HousingAnywhere, our rapid growth has brought on new challenges. We are rethinking the platform architecture to meet imminent growth needs. You will have the opportunities to bring in your ideas in the context of microservices, stream processing, API, security and data integrity.
At platform we are shaping the vision for the future architecture of HousingAnywhere. You will help other teams to build new features on top of our architecture, and make sure that concerns like reliability, security, privacy and performances are met.
We are pragmatic developers, and often we need to think out of the box to solve tricky technical challenges. Technology hypes inspire our work and give us ideas, but we realize that the context in which we build our solutions is what matters most. You will help us consider the challenges we face when adopting new technologies or techniques.
You will help your colleagues and your leaders to solve problems and move faster, as well as they will do with you.
Our mission as the platform team
As a Software Engineer for the Platform Team, you will be joining the team responsible for the backend logic of HousingAnywhere’s marketplace, and for standardizing the way our partners integrate with our platform.
Our team is here to provide HousingAnywhere with a scalable composable architecture that allows the organization to scale the business and teams on top of it.
We achieve our goals by:
developing the technical vision and standards on the platform that accommodate the needs of the housing rental market for the next 10 years
developing the standards for the exchange of information between systems in the accommodation rental market.
Let's work together on the following
We are currently refactoring the monolith in context boundaries using Domain Driven Design techniques. Our goal is to come to an architecture that will allow us to break the monolith in microservices and break dependencies with the database.
We are working on bootstrapping our journey to let partners integrate with our platform. We are defining and implementing the architecture that can integrate seamlessly the variegated technologies the industry uses.
We are rethinking our approach to CI, and simplifying our suites of tests.
We already extracted frontend as a service from the backend monolith, but the code still leaves in one repository. We want to gain independence by extracting backend code from frontend code and have separate deployment pipelines.
We are working closely with the operations team to move our services to kubernetes. We are currently sending a small percentage of traffic to the cluster and are facing some performance issues. We are investigating possible next moves to fully work on the cluster.
We are creating an internal RFC to plan how to move towards an event driven architecture by introducing Kafka. We are researching impacts, costs and value that we get by getting into such a path.
And our stack?

Postgres
Redis
NSQ

Will you join us on a journey to disrupt the trillion dollar travel industry? We are looking for the best and brightest who share our passion for travellers, data, and product.
FindHotel believes travel is the one thing that really opens minds to new ideas, cultures, and ways of thinking. Our mission is to get every traveller in the world the best accommodation deal. From adventure travel and backpacking to honeymoons and family vacations, we deeply care so that every traveller can make the best informed accommodation choice at the absolute best conditions for every trip.
We are growing fast and looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join us in becoming a global travel category leader.
We build highly performant, scalable services and components that power our product and provide our users with the best content and deals the accommodation industry has to offer. Scalability, reliability, and great performances are the core of what we build. We work with modern stacks (Go, Elixir, Node.js, Python) and, as we embrace the DevOps culture, our infrastructure-as-code in the cloud (AWS) is managed via tools like Docker, Jenkins, and Terraform.
Should you join us, not only you will get exposed to some bright engineers with a passion for delivering great software, you will also get the chance to collaborate with team members from a broader range of disciplines, including data analysts and scientists, product owners, UX experts, and marketing specialists.
What you will actually be doing / responsibilities
Work in a team to solve challenging problems, integrating accommodation providers and building blazing-fast services that serve their data
Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvements in terms of performance and code quality
Help improving our infrastructure and scale it to support our continuous growth in a cost-effective way
Support the growth of junior and intermediate engineers by coaching them in their daily tasks, as well as raising the bar of how things are done within both your team and the bigger engineering group
What a day in the office might look like
In the morning, you and your fellow engineers sit down with the Product Owner to discuss the performance of a not-so-fast API endpoint. Comparing the ideal performance to the data collected by our monitoring systems, you brainstorm together a few ideas of how to improve the service's performance and design a scalable solution. After lunch, you jump onto an open issue and prepare a pull request that improves the infrastructure's reliability for one of the most delicate components. Before the end of the day, you put together some ideas on how to improve another component's design and organize an architecture review session with some engineers across teams to discuss the benefits and costs of your proposed solution.
Requirements
Who we are looking for / requirements
You have at least 6 years experience in back-end development using a modern set up and tooling
You have a great understanding of APIs, databases, data structures, queues, and all things back-end, with a strong passion for automation

You have a sense of pragmatism, constantly finding the right balance between achieving technical excellence and delivering value to the end users
You are flexible, curious, and data-guided in helping us decide what to work on next
You engage with your team and all the engineering group actively, sharing knowledge and best practices in order to improve with them every day
