Description:
What we are looking for:
- Passionate individuals with 2+ years of relevant experience. The number of years isn't our primary focus; instead, we value what you've learned and achieved during your time in the field, the projects you worked on, and the relevant experience you gained.
- Our ideal candidate is someone curious about building transformative products. Someone who empathises with users, is passionate about our mission, and is excited about the chance to reshape an industry.
- Verbal and written communication are key, even more so in a remote-first environment. We cherish those who actively: contribute to and evolve our documentation; share their insights, experiences, and novel ideas with the team; assist fellow engineers during onboarding and foster a collaborative learning environment;
- Good foundation in Python are especially welcome. Your experience with Python will be a significant asset to our team, and we're particularly keen on candidates who have harnessed its capabilities in previous roles. However, we also value adaptability and the breadth of your technical experience.
- Foundational knowledge of SQL. Whether you've been hands-on with database operations, crafted efficient queries, or delved into troubleshooting performance issues, we appreciate the diverse ways you've engaged with databases.
- Understanding the workings of web applications is a must. This can mean having insights into web architecture, being curious about the flow of requests and responses, and understanding how backend systems integrate with other services. No matter your path of experience, we recognize the unique expertise you contribute.
- Never used Vue before? Not a problem from our perspective. If you have experience with Javascript or any of the other frameworks, you will be up to speed quickly. Much more important is that you have a strong understanding of fundamentals: async nature of javascript, managing cookies and 3rd party libraries concerning GDPR; familiar with good practices and design patterns, work on turning the legacy code into a first-class citizen, being a role model in those efforts; experience with testing: unit, integration, e2e. Knowledge of frameworks like Jest, testCafe, and Cypress would be a plus; awareness of cross-browser quirks (yes, we still support IE11); familiar with design systems and styling best practices; awareness of performance best practices when it comes to assets management, request structure, and single-page application design.
- We love team players. If you plow through the tasks you picked but your team struggles to deliver on another aspect of the sprint, nothing is won.
We think you will love working here if:
- You value building great relationships and trust with your team and managers.
- You love experimenting with new ideas and get super excited when you find an opportunity for process improvement.
- You see working remotely successfully as a pioneering challenge that is constantly evolving.
- In everything you do, you take ownership and get a kick out of exceeding expectations.
- When faced with the choice, you’d rather opt for the ambitious to ensure you grow, than take the easy option.
- You see the value of giving and receiving feedback and incorporate this into everything you do.
- You are not afraid to voice your opinions and like using data to back them up.
