Job description
As a backend engineer at TARGET you'll be working on our new microservice architecture based on Go, Docker, Kubernetes, gRPC, and GraphQL. Tasks include improving the platform, working on a particular product, or porting legacy products written in Java. An example of such a product is the recently launched Cadre, a career management solution that's helping tens of thousands of job seekers find jobs in countries such as Oman and Indonesia.

We adopt a loose SCRUM model, our development methodology being focused on ideas proven to enhance productivity and employee satisfaction. Not only we score highly on Joel's Test (or on the better 2017 version https://myers.io/2017/04/04/the-joel-test-for-2017/), but we use a monorepo with custom built tooling, follow the popular git branching model, have redundant component owners to increase our bus factor, and are continuously modernizing our processes.

Responsibilities:
- Develop, test, maintain and improve software.
- Take ownership of a component and deliver features and fixes within deadlines.
