YOUR FUTURE TEAM

1. Our mission as Backend Guild is to provide JOIN’s customers and their candidates with robust features, stable business flows, security, performance and resiliency. We strongly believe that Backend engineering should be collaborative with Platform, DevOps, Product and Frontend teams.
2. We take care of our guild’s tools by using our own architecture based on Clean Architecture, strict linters, code generators, coding conventions, code snippets and service templates to spend less time doing mundane work. We take pride in working through TDD, making sure all our services are covered with tests and that our releases are always reliable and stable.

8. We write our tests and we test our own solutions, which helps us learn more and understand our clients better.
9. We value transparency, close collaboration, and a slight amount of chaos in our work because it makes us faster and more creative.
10. Be among the first team members in Barcelona and play a key role in one of Europe’s most rapidly expanding HR-Tech startups.
11. Join a dynamic team in a flexible tech environment, with a new M3 Pro Macbook Pro.
