Job description

As Virtuagym keeps on growing, we are now looking for a new face to complement our Development team. As aSoftware Engineer, you will be joining the team responsible for our Blue domain, which focuses on billing & payments. Will you join us in our quest to create a healthier and happier world?

Join a high performing team and make an impact!

We're a passionate, driven team with a strong focus on growth and delivering outstanding results. At Virtuagym, we cultivate a high-performance culture built on dedication, ownership and driving excellence. If you're a self-starter who embraces challenges, thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and keeps going where others might stop, this could be the perfect role for you! In return, you’ll join a team where you can grow, develop, and truly unlock your full potential.

We have a beautiful office in the center of Amsterdam and while we foster getting together to exchange ideas and energy, we are a remote-friendly company. This means that you have the freedom to work from home whenever you want, provided you keep delivering great results! At the same time we love bringing our teams together by organizing team events and company parties to brainstorm about the future of our industry and build friendships, while having fun along the way.

What this role looks like

As Software Engineer, you have a direct impact on improving the experience of more than 35+ million end-users. As a Software Engineer on Blue Domain, you'll be responsible for developing and maintaining features across our billing and payments platform. This includes refining product requirements and being one of the main contributors to the design, implementation, and testing of technical solutions that meet the needs of our customers. A successful software engineer here has a passion for technology, a strong work ethic, and confidence to work independently as well as part of a team. You'll also develop and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end testing suites for our software.

Responsibilities

• Designing solutions that are simple, scalable, and actually make sense, not just technically correct
• Building on our existing architecture and levelling it up with current best practices
• Shipping features end-to-end, from technical design through to something real customers use
• Keeping an eye on the production systems your team owns, so issues get caught early, not from a customer complaint
• Writing docs and diagrams your teammates will genuinely reach for later
• Speaking up early: sharing progress, asking questions before you're stuck, and asking for feedback rather than waiting for it
• Giving code reviews that are honest, kind, and actually useful - the kind you'd want to receive yourself
• Having a real voice in what we build next, through Sprint and Product Backlog planning
• Pairing or mobbing with teammates when two (or more) heads genuinely beat one
• Being someone people can tap on the shoulder for advice, and enjoying that part of the job
• Bringing your own take on how we work, within the agile/DevOps rhythm the team has chosen

• PHP, Python, Vue.js, NodeJS
• Kafka, ksqlDB, Kafka Connect
• Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C
• MariaDB, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Redis
• AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Vault, GitLab

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience
• At least 2-3 years of professional experience in software development; Experience building, testing, and maintaining software systems while adhering to engineering principles such as testability, maintainability, observability, and reliability
• Solid, hands-on production experience with PHP - this is a hard requirement for this role, experience with Python is a strong plus
• A love for delivering high-quality, well-tested software
• A track record of contributing to improvements in the Development Lifecycle
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with Product Management to create actionable product specifications
• A team player who actively participates in daily rituals and contributes to the team's success, sharing knowledge with others and learning from the team in turn
• Relevant experience with an RDBMS and Entity Relationship Diagrams
• Experience with version control and various git workflows
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, our company language
• Knowledge of the agile philosophy and how to implement it, like Scrum and DevOps lifecycles (plan, code, build, test, release, deploy, operate, monitor)

Bonus points if you’ll bring:

• Experience with distributed services and event-driven applications
• Experience working with Vue.js
• A well-curated portfolio
• An obsession with customer satisfaction
