Junior Back-end Software Engineer
Prague, Czechia
Make is the leading visual platform for anyone to design, build, and automate anything—from tasks and workflows to apps and systems—without the need for coding skills. We are headquartered in the flourishing tech hub of Prague, Czech Republic, and our teams are spread across the USA, UK, Germany, France, Canada, India and Chile, among other locations.
Why do we love building Make (and why you might, too)?
We are developers and we take it for granted that we can solve pretty much anything by writing software. But what if someone is not a developer or doesn't have access to one? Chances are that they will end up doing the same boring tasks repeatedly, copy-pasting data from one place to another, wasting time on low-value work instead of doing something way more impactful.
With Make, we give anyone the opportunity to build powerful automations in a way that almost feels like a game. We give anyone a chance to experience the joy of building something that just works. We turn regular people into makers.
What you’ll do
You’ll work on product areas that are essential for how users and teams operate within the platform – focusing on users, organizations, teams, and the relationships between them. You’ll contribute to identity, authentication, and authorization flows, including both traditional login and SSO. Your work will shape how users are created, assigned roles, and granted access.
In addition to that, you’ll also be responsible for ensuring consistency across distributed environments – keeping data between our central system and remote zones in sync.
You’ll help shape and maintain the REST API interface that connects different parts of the platform and external tools.
What it means in practice:
- Becoming a part of a cross-functional product team.
- Designing and building features around user roles, permissions, and authentication workflows.
- Developing and maintaining SSO and traditional login mechanisms, as well as user provisioning flows.
- Maintaining and evolving the platform’s public REST API.
- Ensuring synchronization between HQ and distributed zones.
- Improving maintainability, performance, security, and reliability of the systems you own.
- Writing automated tests (unit, integration, contract, …).
- Deploying code to production and taking care of it in operation (monitoring, alerting, debugging).
- Collaborating on technical designs, writing and reviewing documentation and RFCs.
- Helping others grow and learning along the way.
- And yes – having fun while doing all of the above :)
