Develop microservices in a distributed environment, focusing on containerization. Collaborate with team members on feature development and maintain high service quality for users.
At Pleased, our mission is to please our clients and their customers. To achieve that, we offer an all-inclusive, easy-to-use, and affordable support software.
We’re looking for people who are passionate about our product and serving our clients. We retain our team members with a dynamic and flexible work life which empowers them to create value, and rewards them generously based upon their contribution.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing microservices in a distributed deployment environment with an emphasis on containerisation with Docker and K8S. You won’t just be writing simple CRUD applications, but instead will be working on the core logic of complex systems that are accessed millions of times a day. We wrote our system from scratch about 3 years ago, so you’ll be working with the latest technology and won’t have to worry about decades old legacy code.
