The position
We are looking for a smart, self-motivated software engineer to
strengthen our development team. Your preferred programming language is
JavaScript and you are excited about the latest developments in that
area just as we are.
You’re going to work on the whole platform from our single-page web
apps to our Node.js backend service. You are always keen to challenge
the existing and try to improve it by making technical decisions and
introducing best practices.
Furthermore, you enjoy working in a small team that tries to operate
agile and without much overhead. Having result-oriented discussions with
your peers to find the best solutions is your daily routine.
About You
- You should have advanced JavaScript skills.
- You have experience with Node.js. Interests in React, Hapi.js or Express.js would make the onboarding easier ;)
- You write well-tested and robust code.
- You have a good understanding of modern JavaScript best practices.
- You care about software: “How it is done is as important as having it done”.
- You leave no stone left unturned when you are on the hunt for
solutions. New problems occur every day and sometimes we need to leave
our comfort zone to solve them.
- You are passionate about sharing your knowledge and experience among the team.
- You don’t accept the given; you strive always for innovative solutions that pushes the company and your peers.
What technology do we use?
We are strong believers that JavaScript is the ideal language to
build the optimal solutions for the web. We use it for our web apps and
backend components. Therefore we generate big synergy effects, which
means that all developers can work on all critical components. This fact
is really important, especially if the team is still relatively small.
We develop in ES6 and ES7 and use it natively wherever we can. If not
we use Babel. For frameworks and tools, we rely heavily on React, Hapi,
Webpack, Redux and others.
From infrastructure side, we use AWS, MySQL, Redis, Docker, Chef, CloudWatch and other nice external SaaS solutions.
We regularly reevaluate our decisions to make sure that we always enable the further growth and success of the company.
