Are you looking for challenging technical problems, opportunities for continuous learning and a business-oriented software team to join? Do you feel the urgency of validating a problem before jumping into the implementation? Have you ever thought about building the right it, instead of building it right?

Our cross-functional team works at the intersection of business and engineering. You would join Smartly.io as a Software Developer who can help us drive our vision of making the whole organisation truly data driven. Our team provides the internal infrastructure for data visualisation and analysis. Thus, people skills are valuable to also understand the needs of non-technical stakeholders in order to implement the solution as a whole.

Our team works with software in many areas of the organisation. We are seeking for the potential and willingness to learn new stuff. It is not necessary to be familiar with technology in our stack in advance, although we appreciate if you have experience in the UNIX backend ecosystem.

We work with technologies like Message Queues (Redis, RabbitMQ), Background Processing (Sidekiq, Sneakers), Databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), Database Abstractions (ActiveRecord, Sequelize), HTTP APIs (REST, GraphQL), various languages (Ruby, Node.js Python, PHP, SQL), private cloud (Docker, Kontena.io) and online services like Salesforce, NetSuite, Periscope and Hubspot.

As a Software Developer in this team, you will:

• Have direct impact on what our team should do next
• Work together with our sales teams, product development and software developers
• Design and build complete solutions to integrate various backend services together
• Build and improve our toolset which gathers data from various services and data sources to our Business Intelligence database
• Peer review other developers’ code right from the start
• Push code to production during your first week and, if you want to, demo your features at the weekly all hands meetings
• Participate in our highly technical customer support and help the team to triage bugs
• Have option to travel to meet our customers and team members in San Francisco, New York, Singapore, Buenos Aires or Berlin – if you enjoy travelling
• Take part in defining our company roadmap and goals in dialog with the leadership in our flat organisation

• Love Ruby, Sidekiq or ActiveRecord, although working knowledge of any modern programming language is fine. Willingness to learn overweights existing knowledge of tech buzzwords
• Have working knowledge of SQL
• Have experience in designing and consuming APIs such as REST, GraphQL and third party services with each having their own unique differences
• Have experience in digging out details and requirements from different stakeholders and translating that to code
• Can touch frontend code when necessary. Our team doesn’t build much anything frontend related, but sometimes we need to create an UI for things we have built

• Work with the nicest and brightest teammates in a highly autonomous self-organizing team
• Opportunity to travel to meet Customers, Facebook and Smartlies at our offices around the world via our Developer Rotation program
• Competitive salary + option plans
• Recharge yourself with full 5 weeks of paid annual leave 
• Healthcare insurance/service
• Wellness and personal development (tools, events, etc.) reimbursement
• Enjoy weekly breakfasts and quarterly dinners with the team

The Recruiting Process:

1. First meeting: before diving deeper into your tech skills, we want to know who you are and what motivates you. This is also an opportunity for you to learn more about Smartly.io.
2. Technical interview: we’ll discuss areas relevant to you ranging from frontend development to networks, security, and development methods. We’re trying to get a clear overview of your skills and where you could learn more.
3. Coding exercise: we’ll be pair programming in Node environment to make sure that you can also code. Previous experience with Node.js or JavaScript is not necessarily required, as the session will be very interactive.
4. Meet your future team to learn what they are working with. After that the final interview with our VP of Engineering and your team lead.
