Software Engineer - Spain Remote
Hi, thanks for reading about our Software Engineer - Tools opportunity! We're glad you're here.

We're Knack, a code-free platform used by thousands of customers — from non-profits to the world’s biggest companies — to easily build custom apps, workflows, and databases.

We’re looking for someone to increase the productivity of the entire Knack team by collaborating closely with stakeholders to create and maintain internal tools and third-party integrations.

And did we mention self-motivated and independent? This is a 100% remote role, with a flat culture that gives you the autonomy to define how you can do the best work of your career.

Please note: this is a remote role based in Spain.

In this role, you will:

  • Architect, implement, and maintain tools that will increase the productivity of the entire Knack team.
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional engineering teams to create efficient solutions for complex problems.
  • Work closely with stakeholders to drive strategic and tactical initiatives.
  • Identify opportunities to replace time consuming manual processes with automations.
  • Evaluate and integrate third-party tools and APIs.
  • Contribute to documentation on internal tools, integrations, and automations.
  • Be an inspiring and supportive teammate by actively participating in feedback, idea generation, teaching, learning, and in general being a delightful human being.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Knowledgeable. You have full-stack JavaScript and NodeJS experience, you’re comfortable with CLI usage, and you’re familiar with working in databases.
  • Detail oriented. You enjoy creating great user experiences in Vue/React and developing interfaces that other teams will use on a daily basis.
  • Humble but opinionated. You have lots of ideas, yet you are happy to shift directions when a better path emerges. You take your work much more seriously than you take yourself.
  • Level-headed. You're at your best when things get hard, like if multiple priorities compete for your attention.
  • Comfortable being uncomfortable. You’re not afraid to have the hard conversations, participate in an environment of giving and receiving constructive feedback, and advocate to do your best work.
  • Hungry for meaningful work, and space to do it. Knack is a complex product in a complex space and the work is extremely challenging - but also deeply rewarding. Knack makes a major impact in the work of thousands of companies and organizations.


Our Stack:

  • Front-end: Vue.js, Webpack, Backbone, SCSS
  • Back-end: Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, AWS
  • Testing: Jest, Mocha, Playwright

These benefits aren't that bad either, though:
  • Define your work: find the location, environment, and schedule that is best for your life and work. It's not about separation, it's about optimization.
  • Paid Corporate Retreats: we get together once a year at amazing locations to do normal human being things in person. We pay for your flight, lodging, and meals.

About Knack

Hi! We're Knack

We launched in 2012 with one simple goal: to enable everyone to do amazing things with their data.
Knack makes it easy for anyone to build applications and workflows to make their data useful. Our customers use Knack to run their processes, departments, or even their entire companies.
We've been growing steadily since as we've built our team, perfected our product, and nailed our product-market fit.

So how are we different?
  • We're 100% remote: and have been from the beginning. Every decision we've made has been based on optimizing our remote operations.
  • We take culture seriously: We’re not one of those companies that just slaps some cultural adjectives down in a handbook article then calls it a day. We use our cultural values as our north stars and even have an always active culture committee that is dedicated to ensuring that our culture is maintained and evolves as we grow.
  • We're all a little weird: and we like it that way. We're more than just chat avatars; we've all gotten to know each other, have grown together, and love working with each other.
  • We enjoy the journey: we're in this for the long haul. We're building something we're proud of and want to keep improving on.

We're proud to be an inclusive company with values grounded in equality and ethics, where we embrace diversity.

Are you currently so excited to apply that you can barely type? Then we want to hear from you! You can apply for this position by filling out the application.

We review applications in batches, so don't worry if you don't hear from us right away. Qualified candidates will move on to video interviews to discuss the position in detail, meet the team, and talk through the fit. We're also big believers in paid trials whenever logistically possible.
