Our mission
Constructor’s mission is to enable all educational organisations to provide high-quality digital education to 10x people with 10x efficiency. With strong expertise in machine intelligence and data science, Constructor’s all-in-one platform for education and research addresses today’s pressing educational challenges: access inequality, tech clutter, and low engagement of students.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design and implement backend services in Rust within a microservices architecture.
- Maintain and evolve existing Python services (FastAPI) where it's the right tool for the job.
- Write maintainable, testable, and performant code; participate in code reviews and raise the engineering bar across the team.
- Work with QA and DevOps to improve reliability, observability, and performance of our services.
- Contribute to architectural decisions: choosing the right language for each problem, inter-service communication patterns, and data modeling.
What We Offer
- 💻 Choice of work equipment (e.g., laptop, monitor, etc.)
- 🇬🇧 English classes (iTalki – $130 monthly)
- ⏰ Flexible schedule (we usually work between 09:00/10:00 and 18:00/19:00 CET or EET)
- 👶 Newborn bonus (€500 per child)

Qualifications and Experience:
- 5+ years of professional backend development experience.
- Solid production experience with Rust (minimum of 3 years).
- Strong Python: FastAPI or similar modern frameworks, asynchronous programming (asyncio), and type-driven development (mypy, pydantic).
- Deep understanding of microservices and communication patterns: sync/async, event-driven, message brokers (Kafka / RabbitMQ / NATS), gRPC/REST.
- Working-level PostgreSQL: indexes, transactions, isolation levels, locking, query plans.
- SOLID, dependency injection, and clean architecture — applied in practice, not just in theory.
