MarTech Backend Lead Engineer (Go)

MarTech Backend Lead Engineer (Go)

Own the toolchain and empower others to build our next generation entertainment marketing suite.

To do so, you must be able to make independent decisions, prioritize and execute the features we need right now. You need to be decisive and motivated by aggressive deadlines to deliver without being reckless at the same time. We expect you to run your team decentralized and to be resolute on what your goal is. Most importantly, your team should be consistent in what it delivers over time but flexible in its methodology.

To strengthen our MarTech stack, you discuss our business needs with founders and department heads. You ensure fast deployments and effective monitoring. Incidents are detected immediately and dealt with under your watch. You use your autonomy to hire people when your team is too small or to give raises to your most valuable colleagues. Be hands-on without asking when your team needs support, and show them that you care.

JustWatch is all about connecting people with their favorite content. Be it through our recommendation engine or by running international advertising campaigns. Our leadership is no-nonsense because it is deeply technical and involved in their fields. We deliver what we set out to deliver, and you will drive our future growth.

This is why our tech punches far above its weight class:

Our communication is direct, we avoid petty politics and cancel useless meetings. Software is not a beauty contest for us - we prefer battle proven, easy to understand technologies. The team ensures stability by focusing on the most beneficial tests and monitoring we can create - not by ticking boxes. Iterating over our existing tools is how we improve them over time. Yet we are not afraid of big jumps too. Our team creates the infrastructure it needs; we don't leave that to someone else.

TL;DR

• We write our software in Go (since the beginning)
• And keep our data in Postgres databases
• All services are hosted in our Kubernetes cluster
• We use Google Cloud Services for our cloud needs
