Description:

Our backend operates on Node.js, fully hosted on AWS. We utilize MySQL as our primary data store, self-maintained, alongside Apache Cassandra for feeds and ElasticSearch for search/text indexing. For caching purposes, we employ basic Redis structures. Additionally, our self-run chat system utilizes WebSockets for real-time communication. A significant aspect of our system includes analytics services, managed via Clickhouse, and a robust "worker" infrastructure supporting various asynchronous mechanisms in a scalable manner.

• Enhancing your knowledge to implement product requirements or performance optimisations;

• Understanding existing code and rework it to fulfill coding standards;

• Draft architectural decisions together with the Tech Lead;

• Have a direct impact on team processes and conventions by regular retrospectives.
