About Bending Spoons
Bending Spoons is a fast-growing tech company focused on building and marketing mobile applications. Despite being such a young company, we've already achieved notable results, with tens of millions of downloads of our apps, and millions of users active every month. Far from being satisfied, we look with excitement at the future, and believe that through smart and hard work we’ll accomplish much more.
Position
Bending Spoons aims to become the #1 in the world at developing and publishing mobile apps. How could software engineering not be at the very centre of this enormously ambitious mission? Already serving tens of millions of users and adding hundreds of thousands every day, we rely on our exceptional engineers to build next-generation tools that will make us the most effective and efficient workforce in the industry. We’re looking for a passionate, bright, and driven software engineer that is eager to bring our tools and infrastructure to the next level.
Responsibilities
- Identify the tooling and infrastructural needs of the company, and participate in defining the plan to fulfil them
- Help define the software architecture of new tools or that of new features for existing tools, and then develop them. The work spans broadly from the most infrastructure- or backend-oriented to the development of complex front-ends
- Improve the quality of our tools and infrastructure by fixing bugs and refactoring the code base where necessary
- Expand the set of libraries as needed to make yourself and other engineers more efficient and effective
- Stay informed on new technologies and test the promising ones to make sure we don’t miss out on game-changing opportunities to boost our productivity and the enjoyment of our work
Your qualification
- You have a long-standing passion for writing software. It’s a big plus if you have a demonstrated interest in developing tools, complex front-ends, or infrastructures
- You’re structured and creative enough to solve most challenging problems independently, given the necessary knowledge
- You’re energetic, hard-working, and persevere through adversity until the job is done, and done well. You get turned on by getting results, and always aim for excellence in what you do
- Pragmatism. Far from being too academic or obsessive in your perfectionism, you understand that, when getting things done in a competitive world, speed is often as important as quality
- You love exploring and you’re entrepreneurial in seeking out new opportunities and testing new ideas of your own accord
- You care to develop quality user experiences for your colleagues, go the extra mile to learn what they need, attentive to the details that make a difference
- You can blindly be entrusted with big responsibilities as well as small, more menial tasks
- You’re humble, eager to listen to people’s feedback and constructive criticism, and ready to get your hands dirty with whatever the team needs to succeed
- Proficient in English
