Introduction
We are looking for a passionate Backend Developer to help us build and maintain Toggl Plan.
Are you interested in working with Elixir in cross-functional teams? Do you want to be a part of a highly diverse team? If that is the case, we would like to hear from you!
Gross annual compensation range for the role is €60,000-65,000, and we're committed to increasing salaries every year based on company and individual performance. In addition to that, we also have remarkable benefits, which you can check out below.
You can work from anywhere in the world. However, since our team meetings typically happen between 11:00 and 14:00 UTC, you need to be willing and available to attend these meetings when they happen.
About the Team
We are a global team of 100+ awesome people working from over 40 countries around the globe. We hire globally, you work locally—in the heart of London, a beach outside of São Paulo, or a quiet village near Florence, the choice is yours. 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.
The Role
As a Backend Developer, you would work as a team player to bring new features to life by writing clean, well-organized, and reliable code, and reviewing the code written by others.
Your main responsibilities will be:
- Build and maintain our backend applications and infrastructure of Toggl Plan (Elixir / PostgreSQL / AWS, considering migrating to GCP)
- Optimize performance and stability of our product
- Experiment with the new technologies to improve our product and experience as a team
- Collaborate with product managers, designers and FE developers
About Toggl Plan
Toggl Plan is a tool to visually plan your team’s projects, track progress, and keep their workload healthy with drag-and-drop timelines.
Our product fosters transparency in work, and we practice what we preach — both internally and externally. We are dedicated towards creating a work atmosphere where it's natural to be open, honest, evolving, and efficient.
As part of Toggl, we are building a complementary tool to the world-famous time tracker: a visual team calendar that helps project teams know who's doing what and when in seconds. We are squarely focused on small-to-medium-sized companies, helping them reduce stress when dealing with deadlines, people's availability, and ever-changing project requirements.
In collaboration with Toggl Track, our goal is to build healthier workplaces by offering teams simple and easy tools to eliminate stress at work.
