Senior Backend Developer

Are you an experienced and ambitious backend software developer who’s ready to think outside the box and influence our future directions? If the answer is yes, yes and YES then keep reading.

Joining one our several product teams you’ll take ownership of challenges worth accepting. Whether it’s ridding the web from misspellings and malformed HTML, relieving the visually impaired of browsing frustrations, building bots that protect the online brand of a customer or leading the way in the next generation of web analytics.

This position requires someone who’s happy to roll up their sleeves and migrate large amounts of data without downtime, someone who can battle-test web pages in headless browsers to reveal their weaknesses and build a crawler for the future web.

Joining our diverse and talented group of over 40 developers you’ll have a proven track record of building stable and scalable server software and know what it takes to stream, store and query large amounts of data, SQL or NoSQL. You’ll understand cloud-based solutions and know how to provide software-as-a-service.

Our primary tech stacks include AWS, C# and SQL but we are pragmatic (see below!) and expect you to be the same. We value general skills and experience higher than any specific technology.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain backend application code in one of our product teams.
• Work together with the product owner, UX designers, operations specialists and fellow developers to shape the best solutions for our customers.
• Take part in and improve on the way we develop software.
• Understand what other teams are doing, help them, take action when you see problems on the horizon.

What We Require of You

• Have a relevant educational background within IT, bachelor level as a minimum.
• Have at least 5 years of experience building real software solutions.
• Be outstanding with a modern programming language.
• Be fluent in spoken and written English.
• Thrive working in a close-knit team using an agile development process.
• Be a strong, independent problem-solver.

You need to have practical knowledge of agile development and continuous integration. You should be equipped to challenge and tune our processes, and you should be ready to mentor us in your favorite practices.

We use Slack for a lot of our communication. If you are up to the task of adding another Slackbot to our system, let us know! We also have an internal Raspberry Pi project that always could use a new feature.

What We'll Love About You
That you’re self-driven, creative, inquisitive individual possessing lots of drive. Aiming to join a team of skilled colleagues, whom you can inspire, and who can inspire you. If you’re able to slice a task to deliver the needed parts first and the nice parts later. You can slice pizza at our weekly code club. If you take full responsibility and ownership of your tasks and always strive to follow your projects through to completion.
