Is working with a real-world application that touches the lives of millions, your thing? Gorgias is for you!

This position is either fully remote or onsite at our Paris office (75011). We offer relocation for those interested.

👩‍💻 What are some of the things we work on?

The backend code is mostly written in Python3 and runs using Flask (REST API) and Celery for all background work. The state is stored in PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ for async tasks with Redis for ephemeral storage, and finally, everything runs on top of Kubernetes.

Given the above, we usually work on one of these levels by improving the existing API, improve performance, or we create a new feature which more often than not has a component on both backend, and maybe a migration in the database or a maintenance command.

🧙 Who are we at work?

We have a strong preference for people who are passionate about high-traffic web applications and want to learn more and contribute. We're essentially running a distributed system that has lots of moving parts and being willing to dive into these systems is part of the job!

Additionally, our apps have over 50k daily active users with sessions longer than 6h+/day and serve tens of millions end consumers per year, so we put great importance on quality, testing, and code-review of all our code. Our apps have big codebases, and we have to feel comfortable about navigating and progressively improving them. Sometimes, however, we gotta and figure out why the 10Tb+ DB is slow or why some Kubernetes pods are not running correctly, figure out how to successfully retry a failing API request, etc... The end goal is to hide a lot of complexity from the user and make their life easier.

If this is the type of environment you're looking for, then you should consider applying!
