What you'll do:
You will help build the next generation of how customers interface & apply for financing with Koalafi, focusing on our front-end systems. You’ll develop in the latest technologies and help us move legacy systems to our cloud-based micro-service platform(s), all while focusing on improving the customer experience—making it faster, simpler, and easier to use. We want to deploy solutions early and often, find out what works, and what doesn't, being as efficient as possible, and helping the company grow along the way.
We are building out a microservice based approach to our new system, leveraging ReactJS, GoLang, Postgres and Kubernetes (among other tools) within AWS. These services will work with our legacy platforms that are still a part of our core business and are updated while we construct the next gen UX. If you're a strong engineer with the ability to learn and adapt, we would love to hear from you.
