Software Engineer II (API Platform) - Edinburgh

Our vision is to be the universal symbol of trust, bringing consumers and businesses together through reviews. We are well on our way — but there’s still an exciting journey ahead. Join us at the heart of trust.

We are growing our engineering teams at Trustpilot and are looking to welcome multiple mid-level Full Stack Software Engineers to join our API Platform team. This team will be cross-functional and made up of Engineers, Data Scientists, and Product, based in the UK and Denmark. Our teams are highly autonomous, owning product, system design, and technology decisions. 
API Team:

Trustpilot's API Platform Team will play a crucial role in enabling our customers, partners and internal teams to unlock the value of our APIs and drive new revenue streams. The roadmap includes monetising & sharing our datasets and enabling syndication of reviews. Trustpilot API's are used in several different ways:

• By customers - for example to display Trustpilot Widgets on their website and extract data for analysis in-house
• By Integrations with other SaaS tools (such as Shopify) - some built internally and others by external partners

What you’ll be doing:

• Work in a cross-functional “full ownership” team alongside Product, Design, and Data Science where you will take part in every step of the process of building, from ideation and design to architecture, code, deployment, and maintenance
• Take part in decision-making and design discussions during the development
• Help plan, implement, and release new features
• Troubleshoot existing software, squashing those nasty little bugs
• Inspire and challenge the organization with your knowledge of how to solve problems
• Analyze, gather, and aggregate data to support decisions, both technical and non-technical

Who you are:

• Experience in full-stack web development (extra point if also in a cross-functional team)
• Experience developing RESTful APIs and distributed cloud services
• Experience with component-based front-end development (ideally React, but we know you can learn quickly)
• A friendly and helpful personality, open to give and receive feedback in a constructive way
• Motivation to push yourself and the people around you to constantly improve, in a healthy way

Some relevant technologies and services we use:

Infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Lambda, SNS, SQS, CloudFormation ...), Docker

Languages: Typescript, Javascript

Frontend: React, Next.js, CSS Modules, SASS, Styled Components

Database: DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, BigQuery
