Job description

Overview

We’re hiring a Software Engineer to build the internal products that keep the business running: automation services, API integrations, operational tooling and QA automation. You’ll work across backend, frontend and data - shipping pragmatic solutions from discovery to production.

This is an ownership role, you won’t just “hand off” projects. You’ll design, build, operate and evolve the systems you deliver with a focus on reliability, observability and long-term maintainability.

What you’ll do

• Deliver integrations between internal platforms and third-party services (REST APIs, webhooks, event-driven workflows, data sync).
• Develop internal web tools (with UIs) used by non-technical teams to get work done quickly and safely.
• Build reliable automation (jobs, schedulers, queues).
• Ship production‑grade code with reviews, testing strategy and documentation.
• Troubleshoot and improve: debug across team‑owned systems, perform root‑cause analysis and implement fixes.

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years professional software engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript (primary language) in a modern ecosystem - ideally js + Vue.
• Proven experience designing and consuming APIs (auth, pagination, rate limiting, error handling, resilience).
• Working knowledge of databases: schema concepts, queries, migrations and data models that support real workflows.
• Comfortable with Git and structured code review.

What we offer

• Semi remote-friendly setup with flexibility built around outcomes and business priorities.
• Strong ownership culture: you’ll ship meaningful systems and keep improving them after launch - no “throw it over the wall.”
• Education budget for courses, certifications, conferences, and learning resources.
• Team lunch once per week (on us).
• Monthly gym allowance.
• Private health insurance.
• Collaborative environment: you’ll work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders and with clear communication.
