    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.
