Join us, working on launching a new recruitment marketing platform

You like to work on an innovative, fast-growing scale-up, and see the direct impact of your work. You love working in a small team where you develop brand-new projects from scratch with a modern JVM based tech stack. You can combine all of this with the freedom to work from your home, or any other spot where you feel happy and productive. Do you recognize yourself in this? Respond quickly and become our new Senior Backend Developer.


This is what you will do as a Senior Backend Developer

As a Senior Backend Developer you help people find their dream job. You do this by developing a new recruitment marketing platform.

In general you will develop new features for our applications using Java or Kotlin, Spring Boot, MyBatis or Hibernate and PostgreSQL. Also you will review code written by colleagues.

For example, you will become responsible for building the backend which handles receiving and forwarding job applications. Or you build a drip email marketing system which our clients can use on their recruitment pages.

The job is not only about delivering features according to specifications. It actually involves a great deal of understanding of our product, communication back and forth with our users. You will enjoy having autonomy at work and you should feel comfortable in an environment in which you will be getting your requirements directly from end users or colleagues.
