We also expect you to keep a high code quality with a "living documentation" approach and high level code comments, in order to make collaboration with other team members as easy as possible. A very important skill for us is the ability to autonomously evaluate your own work and schedule code refactors when necessary.

Finally, we expect you to autonomously evaluate and criticize the design choices you will work with day by day, actively contributing in evolving our projects and constantly aiming to improve both yourself and your team.

Backend Software engineer

The person we are looking for will work on two possible aspects of our system. On one hand, we expect you to develop a backend system made up of microservices. On the other hand, you might be working on what we define as "the backend part of our frontend", hence developing client-side code which does not include any graphical and user-facing part. 

Frontend Software engineer

Frontend software engineers will work on client-side code. On one hand, we will expect you to develop the UI part of our clients (basically UI components using HTML and CSS), both Web, using mostly React, and mobile, using ReactNative. On the other hand you will work on developing frontend logics, including complex flows for the end user of our applications. We often use state machines to model frontend logics, if you are curious of how we do this, we can discuss this in detail during our interview process. 

Requirements

• Enthusiasm to solve complex problems
• Knowledge of most common design patterns and best practices
  
• Some knowledge of "Our working stack" section (scroll down)
• Basic knowledge of DevOps practices (UNIX scripting, Docker)

Bonus points

• Computer Science or Engineering degree
• Open Source contributor
• StackOverflow contributor
• Academic papers published
• Cross-functional skills between backend and frontend

Interview Process

Step 1 - Solve some coding problems

You will be sent an assignment with some coding problems. You can choose which problems to solve in one hour and submit your solutions. The solutions you submit will be evaluated by our recruiters and, in case they they are satisfactory, you will be moved to the next recruitment step.

Step 2 - Let's get to know each other

They will also ask you to briefly discuss your background and your previous experience. At this stage, feel free to ask any question about our company and the job position!

Step 3 - Technical interview(s)

In this step, you will be requested to solve some algorithmic problem in a live coding session with one ore more of our recruiters. You can use any programming language you like. We never ask trick questions and we will not ask you theorems or definitions by heart, we just want to understand how you think and how you approach problems: if you have a good basic knowledge, we can build together on that.

A further technical interview might follow in case our recruiters believe it necessary to better assess your skills!

Step 4 - Final interview

Here you will get to talk with our head recruiter and our CTO. We will get to know each other better and go through an assessment of your technical interviews and maybe follow up with some further discussion about the problems you faced.

Step 5 - Job offer

In case you successfully completed all the above steps, one of our people managers will get in touch with you to discuss the logistics, economics and benefits and follow up with a job offer.
