Software Engineer

About Reaktor

At Reaktor, we create digital products, services, and strategies built on exceptional technological competence. We are looking for software developers to join our team in Amsterdam – wherever you might be living now.

Position

Our Lisbon office is looking for a Software Engineer to solve juicy digital challenges at scale, share expertise with team-mates and clients alike, and work closely with Reaktor communities in Amsterdam, Helsinki, NYC and Tokyo.

Your qualification

As a Software Engineer you:

• Have 4+ years of professional web development experience
• Write software from scratch with TypeScript and React
• Can work with the team to decide the best tools for the job at hand. Sometimes it’s Clojure running in a Kubernetes cluster, and sometimes it’s a small piece of JS running on AWS Lambda
• Are familiar with automated testing & functional programming
• Enjoy working with juniors and seniors on the shiny and dirty bits of the codebase. No ivory tower architects here
• Take care of both the technical and human side of projects. You can reason your idea to the client and navigate challenging situations if needed

Ideally you…

• Are willing to take an active part in shaping the new Lisbon community of the strongest developers
• Look forward to taking an active part in shaping your team’s ways of working and programming practices
• View your colleagues and clients as individuals with their respective strengths and weaknesses. Having a consulting background is a plus

What we offer

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 willing to connect beyond work.

Here are 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

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.
