Junior Jobs in Web3

The Role:

We are looking for a junior to mid-level Backend Engineer to join our Tech Team. This individual will play a role in helping to maintain, refine, and grow Autograph’s APIs and core services. Autograph’s backend infrastructure touches a large array of technologies and you will have an opportunity to learn and grow across them. Our APIs are a living, breathing thing and there is a lot to do to keep them healthy and maintainable.

Responsibilities:

• Feature development for core infrastructure and APIs. Everything from helping write the code to testing to documentation.
• Maintenance and scaling of our existing services. We have a backend which interacts with a plethora of services and platforms (everything from partner APIs to blockchains), encodes media in numerous ways, leverages queueing to manage real-time IPFS pinning and token minting, etc. Those services can always be improved.
• Contribute to conversations around scaling and growing our services. A lot of what we do is new or novel in some way and as a result undocumented or unknown, you are expected to want to explore those things. Document them after.
• Work in collaboration with Senior Engineers and other teams to implement platform requirements.
• Write robust, scalable, well-designed software that is easy to maintain and well tested
• Push and refine our proprietary technologies, platforms, and creative practices

Minimum qualifications:

• You have experience building APIs and backend services using Nodejs/Typescript/MongoDB (or similar technologies).
• You have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, HCI, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• You want to learn about backend APIs, scaling, distributed systems, blockchains/web3, permanent file storage, etc.
• You know how to use git and version control
• You want to learn how to scale complicated things and work on web3.
• You can take direction and feedback, iterating on your own work using it.
• You take ownership of everything you do and have opinions on the features you’re working on (and maybe even the state of web3)
• Open communication and collaboration skills
• Adaptable and accountable in a dynamic environment
• Commitment to long term impact

Preferred qualifications:

• Entrepreneurial spirit and team oriented
• Previous startup experience
• You care about documentation and testing
