About Returnista

Returnista is one of Europe’s fastest growing startups. We are looking for a dedicated engineer to join our team who will design, deliver, and manage our cloud infrastructure. This is a pivotal role at Returnista that will have a significant impact on its future success. In this role, you will be a key member of our Product Engineering team, building and supporting the infrastructure that runs our SaaS Returns Management Platform. You will:

• Design and deliver new infrastructure solutions to support ever-growing traffic and system capabilities
• Have proven experience with AWS, scaling Docker deployments, and serverless/lambda
• Design, configure, and monitor networking within AWS (VPC, subnets, network security groups, firewalls, VPN gateways)
• Be familiar with best compliance and security practices

If the following statements appeal to you, maybe we're a match…

What we do:

• We work with CI/CD and other XP practices.
• We focus on the problem today, not tomorrow.
• We take pride in delivering quality.
• We work in small, frequent steps, continually getting feedback.
• We don’t constrain ourselves by convention.

What we don't do:

• We don’t use Jira.
• We don’t do scrum, sprints, or estimate story points.
• We don’t build features – we deliver capabilities.
• We don’t do Gitflow – we do Trunk-based-development and CI/CD.

Our values and culture

At Returnista, our working culture is guided by four core values:

We’re on this journey together: Working at a successful startup isn’t the same every day, as we constantly grow and innovate, we face new challenges. It’s important that we embrace this journey but also positively support each other. In practice, this can range from pair programming to traveling and celebrating together.

We do it right: When you’re moving fast it can be tempting to constantly cut corners to get things done. But this results in a product that is a struggle to work with and has unhappy users. We make that extra effort to be proud of what we’re building; understand the problem we’re solving, write one more test, or tackle technical debt.

We are empowered to act, challenge, and lead: To work effectively as a team everyone must have a voice and feel they can stand up and be counted. As a software engineer at Returnista, we want you to feel empowered. That could mean proposing new ideas, fixing things without seeking permission, or challenging the CEO.

We are intrepid: We want our engineers to show initiative and to innovate. Intrepid Fridays give us the opportunity to work on things that might not ostensibly be the highest priority, but can make a big difference to our product or how we work.
