We are growing our engineering teams at Trustpilot and are looking to welcome a Full Stack Software Engineer to join our team (see description below).

The roadmap includes monetising & sharing our datasets and enabling syndication of reviews. Trustpilot API's are used in several different ways:

By Integrations with other SaaS tools (such as Shopify) - some built internally and others by external partners

Troubleshoot existing software, squashing those nasty little bugs

Experience in full-stack web development (extra point if also in a cross-functional team)
Experience developing RESTful APIs (ideally high volume) and distributed cloud services
Experience with component-based front-end development (ideally React, but we know you can learn quickly)
Experience with SRE & Infrastructure would be a plus
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
