Description

Trouva is the leading platform to discover independent boutiques and brands offering customers a curated range of homewares, fashion and lifestyle. Launched in 2015, Trouva is headquartered in London and partners with over 700 independent boutiques across Europe, shipping to 38 countries worldwide.

In December 2022, Trouva was acquired by Re:store, to help bridge the gap between online and offline for independent retailers. The acquisition of Trouva comes as a pivotal moment for Re:store as it plans to integrate its social commerce technology with the marketplace for use by independent retailers. The integration will further advance personalised consumer experiences between the retailers and their global customer base via Trouva.

The Opportunity

As a Platform Engineer/DevOps Engineer you’ll work closely with the rest of the product team to progress Trouva’s technology platform and help to unlock the full potential of the engineers around you. The challenge is diverse: you’ll have the opportunity to work on managing the cloud infrastructure to support a rapidly growing e-commerce business, setup workflows and patterns to help the whole team rapidly build new services and ensure that we can collaborate effectively through the whole development lifecycle.

At the moment we make heavy use of AWS and other specialised cloud providers, Terraform to manage that infrastructure. And utilise docker through the whole lifecycle from local development, through CI and into production. However as the platform and development team grows we need to find new ways of working together and scaling up, which you would be at the heart of.

Requirements

  • Based in Portugal or the UK
  • 1+ years industry experience as an engineer delivering product into the world
  • Experience working with Node.js, as you will be working with a Javascript focussed team. But if Javascript is not one of your primary languages, then experience with multiple languages and demonstrable ability to pick up new languages without significant hand-holding is key.
  • Experience setting up and managing cloud infrastructure to get production application live in a stable, secure and well monitored way. And the desire to push this knowledge further.
  • Experience with NoSql and more specifically with MongoDB, we use it as our source of truth.
  • Experience setting up and exploring tools to make it easy for engineers to collaborate on developing solutions, sharing their ideas, testing and getting things into production.
  • You love to automate everything
  • Set a high standard in your personal work through your code, testing, communication and ability to help others.
  • Bonus: Experience working with data infrastructure (e.g. AWS Stack with RDS, EC2, Lambda, S3)
