closed vacancy Senior Software Engineer - remote

About the role,

Lana’s engineering team is still young (15 - 20 engineers) but it is growing very fast and needs to have clear architectural guidelines to make sure that all pieces work together. 

We are still at a very early stage as a company, so all our positions are hands-on positions, and we expect from all team members to contribute to agile product delivery.  

We are looking for a Senior Engineer Lead that is willing to take the challenge of bringing Lana’s architecture to the next level while supporting/coaching his peers (engineers, product managers…) to understand it so they can make decisions that are more in line with the architecture, and with the business needs. 

This is a hands-on role so you will also be assigned to a team and will have to develop critical services enforcing our architecture guidelines. 

As we mentioned we are quite early-stage company, so it's a great opportunity to make your mark from the very beginning. Your decisions will affect how the company moves in the future.

About you

We’re looking for a talented and experienced engineer with a proven track record on implementing / managing complex distributed architectures in startups / scale-ups.  

You would enjoy this if you have:

• Interest in solving business problems by using technology
• Entrepreneurial mindset 
• Solid experience as an engineer (>5 years)  
• Experience in distributed and complex systems  
• Architect solutions around observability, scalability, and security
• (Nice to have) Experience in fintech or financial services 

Who are you?

• You are socially conscious and consider your job as a mean to have an impact
• You are humble and eager to learn
• You are interested in understanding the business 
• You prefer leading by example than imposition 
• You are proactive to take on responsibilities, make decisions and always have solid arguments
• You can defend your ideas but are flexible and empathetic to understand other’s positions 
• You strive to "work yourself out of a job", by empowering each team to become self-managing and autonomous
• You know how to make tradeoffs. You translate ideas and needs into actionable plans at various levels (roadmaps, milestones, tasks, etc.).
• You can help our engineers be more efficient at performing their jobs through best practices
• You are comfortable communicating in English (spoken and written).
• You are able to work from a European or American time zone.

This of course is not a comprehensive list that you have to match 100% but just a general guideline, if you don't fit all of it, apply anyway!
