Other Required:

Kotlin

TypeScript

DESCRIPTION

Our Lisbon office is looking for a Backend Engineer to solve juicy digital challenges at scale, share expertise with others, and work closely with Reaktor communities in Amsterdam, Helsinki, NYC and Tokyo. You will be working within an autonomous team in your day-to-day.
As a Backend Engineer you:


  • Write software in TypeScript, Kotlin, or whatever else fits best
  • Take care of both the technical and human side of projects
  • Support our frontend developers from time to time

Relocation
If you’re not based in Lisbon, no worries. What’s important is that you’d be willing to come join us. To make sure we’re a home for top talent like you, we offer a nice relocation package, as well as all the help and advice you need in moving over.
REQUIREMENTS

Ideally you:
  • Have 5+ years of professional development experience
  • Know your way around relational databases such as Postgres
  • Are familiar with Kafka or similar message queues

NICE TO HAVE

We believe that there’s no “one size fits all” solution when it comes to tech!
Sometimes the right thing to do is write things from scratch with functional TypeScript utilizing the latest libraries, and sometimes it’s a small humble piece of HTML sprinkled with JavaScript hosted on Netlify. While we have not made hard decisions to use any particular technologies, most of our engagements have React, some form of state management, ramda/ lodash, automated testing / deployment.
Most of the tech challenges are not technical at all
Biggest challenges in tech are paradoxically human related, not tech. Hence we train our people in soft skills (e.g. empathetic listening), organizational skills (e.g. Kanban), and put people first (our work weeks average at 40h/week) and we have a 5-star Glassdoor rating to prove that.
PERKS

We offer everything you’d expect of an international tech company: interesting projects, competitive salary and an opportunity to go on work stays to Reaktor offices around the globe. But what really makes us different is our Nordic culture — expect great attention to the work-life balance with a possibility to work flexible hours; high levels of trust and autonomy; and a friendly team of interesting personalities willing to connect beyond work.

Our benefits in detail:
  • Flexible working hours
  • Work trips between EU offices
  • Team activities and get-togethers
  • Compensation of self-development activities (courses, conferences, certifications, etc.)
  • Get paid to do Open Source work
  • Company shares
  • The latest computer and phone of your choice
  • Extended health insurance
  • Screens, keyboard, headphones
  • An ergonomic home office if needed
  • Healthy and not-so-healthy snacks and drinks at the office
  • Travel expenses
  • Phone subscription
  • Home internet expenses coverage
  • Company trips twice a year
