Backend Engineer

What do we expect from you?

• You have at least 3 years of experience developing the backend of an application using Java, and you can tell us about it.
• We mainly work with Java and Spring, but what really interests us is that you have solid programming fundamentals.
• You don't settle for "as long as it works, it's fine." We place great value both on good practices and on defining designs and architectures that allow us to extend the platform sustainably. So we expect these to be terms that you also consider important.
• We work as a team. The team is your colleagues; but it's also the product and UX people, as well as the business people, etc.
• You love this field. And you love knowing that you'll have to keep learning throughout your entire working life. In addition, you are humble enough to accept your colleagues' teachings, and generous enough to share your knowledge with them :)
• You have curiosity and initiative. After all, this job is about the problems we are able to solve and how we manage to do so. So you are expected to be able to analyze, ask questions, ask for help (and offer it), and know how to propose solutions to them.

What other things are a plus?

• Besides having dealt with the backend side, you are comfortable with the frontend.
• You are curious and have at least experimented with other programming paradigms such as functional programming.
• We also value that you have at least a basic command of Shakespeare's language. Reading level is essential, because 80% of the technical material in our profession is in English. If you also speak it with some fluency, even better!

What do we offer you?

• You will be able to see the direct impact of your work on one of the reference websites in Spain, as well as in Italy and Portugal. For those of you who haven't experienced it yet: you don't know the tingle in your stomach the first time you see something you've built on a platform used by millions of people.
• We are Remote Friendly :) but we have offices in the center of Madrid to see each other from time to time.
• You will learn. We mean it. The platform is constantly evolving, and from that we get a ton of internal talks, posts, workshops... that make knowledge flow.
• In addition... we sponsor events, attend them and host many meetups. Learning is as important as teaching your teammates!
• In addition to your salary, you can take advantage of a flexible compensation plan (transport card, gourmet checks, health insurance...) that you can benefit from from day one.
• English, Italian and Portuguese classes.
• Fresh fruit and coffee always available in the kitchen.
• We also have a physiotherapist and yoga classes... because for us the most important thing is taking care of our idealistas!
• Besides working, we like to have a good time, so if you join our family, you'll celebrate something every month... Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas,... You're going to have a great time!
• Teambuilding and much more!
