Who you are

You’ll join our HR squad as a Software Engineer, playing an important role in maintaining and evolving our HR product.

You’ll work closely with senior engineers on building best practices across the team to ensure we continue to deliver a reliable, high-quality product.

This role has a direct business and customer impact, ensuring every customer has a seamless experience across our HR product.

• Full Stack Development: Write high-quality, maintainable and readable code across our HR product, maintaining core functionality in React and PHP, and building new features in NodeJS or .NET. Contribute to the team’s incremental feature delivery in an agile environment.
• System Design: Build designs and architectural approaches for new implementations and features within the HR product.
• Pair and teach: Program side by side with team members on tough problems, and clarify understanding with insightful code reviews.
• Tackle Tech Debt: Dedicate time to uplift legacy areas of the codebase, keep on top of configuration and stop dependencies from going stale.
• Code Quality Enhancement: Elevate our codebase’s quality by crafting Unit, Module, and Functional automated tests.
• Documentation and Workshops: Support junior developers on best practices when creating documentation.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with Product Managers to understand requirements and execute a strategy that aligns with the product roadmap.

• Ability to collaborate effectively and communicate clearly within a diverse, cross-functional team.

Some 'nice to haves'
