Position
We are looking for a passionate developer for our productivity team who can help us lift our highly skilled engineering team. You will be a central part of the development of our product and have a say in choosing technologies, tools, and architecture of new product features. Currently, we are a team of 3 developers, a Product Owner, and a Scrum Master distributed between Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands that really enjoy and care for our craft. We have lots of new interesting projects coming.
In the Productivity team, we primarily do desktop application development, where we build a custom add-in for PowerPoint using .NET, WPF and VSTO. There is a lot of interesting technical challenges in this domain, and we regularly have to go outside the paved road to explore and find ways to achieve what we want. We also do some web development, as our add-in communicates with a web back-end, and we are also responsible for this part.
Across the whole of Templafy, we take pride in creating a quality product, and our code is made via pair-programming and reviewed via pull-requests. Even when we are busy, we do not compromise on quality. If this is a tech stack that you would like to work with and if you enjoy turning simple and readable code into complete solutions that are used by a million users daily around the globe, then Templafy is the place to be!
Technologies we use
- Backend: .NET 5.0, C# 9.0, Web API, Entity Framework, VSTO, etc.
- Frontend: React, Redux, TypeScript, CRA, SCSS, yarn, etc.
- Hosting: 100% Azure, Web Apps, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure SQL, Azure Service Bus, Application Insights, Azure Data Lake, etc.
- What you bring in: We are not afraid of new technologies, and are hosting internal tech-sessions to discuss these and how they can make sense in our product
Responsibilities
How we work
- Teams: Each team consists of 4-6 engineers. Teams are cross-functional, self-organised and free to choose their own process, but most use a flavour of Scrum with a 2-week sprint. We believe in the lean principles - e.g. short feedback cycles, minimising handovers, and therefore each team has full responsibility for the features they own from development to deployment
- Guilds: Guilds are a place to share knowledge and experiences, and to get help and ideas from others. We currently have a DevOps, Cloud, Back-end, Front-end, Security, QA, and Tracking guild
- Architecture: We build software using a flavour of microservices called self-contained systems and we practice the principles of Domain Driven Design with Event Driven Architecture. Yet, we are careful to avoid over-engineering and always strive for the simplest solution possible
- Test focused: We like to test the code we build, and we have a continuous integration infrastructure in place that runs our tests on every push and notifies the team on Slack if something breaks. Even when we are busy, we do not compromise on quality
- DevOps mindset: We are cloud first, and everything is hosted in Microsoft Azure. Each team is responsible for deployments and monitoring of their own services. All work is managed through Azure DevOps including backlog management, source control, pull-requests, releases, and testing
- Automation: We like to automate everything from deployment to setting up new infrastructure. We have built custom tools for configuring our local development environment, publish release notes to Wiki and Slack, nudge engineers about stale tasks, branches, and pull-requests, and more. When NPM or NuGet packages are updated a bot automatically creates a pull-request. All this enables us to do more than 30 daily releases to production on average!
- Design: We have a written coding standard, and we follow clean code principles. We develop most of our features using pair programming. Every change is peer-reviewed. We have tools for automatic code clean-up that ensure consistent formatting and structured and fail builds if any rule is violated
- Tools: We use the best tools available for the job including Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise, ReSharper, Visual Studio Code, JetBrains Rider, Slack, Zoom, Git, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Azure, Docker Desktop, WSL2, SonarQube, Cypress, etc.
- Learning: We believe in lifelong learning and encourage everyone to read books, go to conferences, take courses, and certifications. We want to invest in everyone’s personal and professional development, and therefore we provide the necessary resources to support this. Every sprint we have internal Tech Talks and from time to time we also host and speak at meetups
- Flexible: We have distributed teams across offices in Copenhagen, Berlin and Eindhoven. Yet, all meetings and work happen online. This gives us freedom to work from home when you have a repair person coming, your child is sick, etc., and also enabled us to initiate the necessary measures within a minimal amount of time when COVID-19 hit the world
Your qualification
You have broad experience with desktop application development using .NET and C#. It is an advantage if you have experience with WPF and VSTO. You are an organized, responsible, humble, hungry for knowledge, emotionally intelligent, innovative and open-minded collaborator who takes initiative.
You like technical challenges where you might not find an answer on Google or StackOverflow, but instead, you need to be creative and do some deeper debugging to find the solution.
What we offer
Benefits
- Work closely with a department of more than 50 talented engineers and the rest of our business, all of whom are passionate about helping to create international success
- Work with new technology and agile development processes
- Work on a product that is an essential part of a million users daily workflow
- Competitive salary and pension
- Family-friendly environment and office hours
- Yearly conference budget for each engineer
- Annual company event, a Friday bar on the first Friday of every month
All in all, at Templafy you will get a combination of stable working conditions, great colleagues, and genuine entrepreneurship in an equal opportunity workplace.
