We are looking for an experienced Senior Backend Developer to be a part of one of our cross-functional product development teams to help us shape the future of the time tracking industry and deliver real value to our customers with both new and improved features.
The salary for this position is €70,000 annually.
You can work from anywhere in the world.
About the Team
We are a global team of 80+ awesome people working from over 40 countries around the globe.

Every few months we travel to meet up somewhere in the world and spend some quality time together. We place a huge amount of trust in our people, and we measure the outcomes rather than the work itself. Our values fuel our results.

As a Senior Backend Developer, you will be taking ownership of one or more domains of our product and will work closely with other Backend and Frontend developers using cutting-edge open source frameworks to highly-available RESTful services and back-end systems.
Your main responsibilities will be:
- developing and maintaining some of our backend services including reports, payments, and operations tools that manage our product and logistics worldwide.
- working with PMs and designers day to day on several projects, from customer-facing web and mobile applications.
- designing, breaking down, and completing projects of a medium to large scope with high-level productivity.
- looking for technical problems of existing system/product without guidance and offering solutions
- leading projects with a small group of people, such as hosting weekly meetings, communicating with other partners and stakeholders.

- Effective communication skills: regularly achieve consensus with peers and clear status updates;
