Junior Backend Engineer

As a Junior Backend Engineer you like to make an impact in the code as well as in the team.

We are on a growth journey to help average people in their daily financial life, backed up by data and hypothesis driven development and lots of experimentation. Come join our cause to make a difference!

WHY JOIN US?

We are changing the way people see their personal finance literally while making money and having fun.

- We are a NO bullshit team where you can be yourself and build an amazing product together that is used by thousands today and millions tomorrow.
- You get to make a lot of impact in our product development
- You get the opportunity to work with modern cloud technologies and Go
- You get great influence over other technology choices and working methods

SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS

You dig the concept of full-stack, but this role emphasises our backend channel mainly created through Go - which is not a requirement - but we expect you to have some experience in various modern technologies. You are verbal and can communicate your point of view as well as humble and curious about other people’s ideas.

This is a junior role and you are curious about and engaged in learning about

- Golang
- AWS, Heroku or other cloud-based hosts
- Micro services architecture
- Event based architecture

You also get engaged when it comes to

- Agile processes and continuous improvement
- Working closely with other teams and stakeholders throughout the company
- Taking your own responsibility in learning

As important as your will and curiosity to learn is your will to share and make the team enthusiastic about your knowledge. Most of your time will be spent getting your hands dirty in the code but you still like to discuss different solutions for both technical, product, organisational and business specific challenges. You are the pragmatic programmer - you understand that the perfect technical solution in some cases has to take a step back for the business - even if your role of course will be to advocate for the technical parts and highlight potential risks.

If you have previous experience in fintech it’s a plus, but don’t hesitate if you do not - as the right candidate you will pick up the domain fast enough.
This position is based in Stockholm, Sweden.

ME AS A MANAGER

As a leader I encourage your own responsibility and creativity in our product as well as in your own personal development. I am open and clear in my communication and I like discussing matters - high or low. I like to see your strong energy and want to coach you in your role as well as your person. Your attitude is as important as your formal qualifications. Our cooperation is at its best when we challenge each other from different angles and unite in a common way forward where I support you in reaching your goals.

-Martin Börlin, your Servant Leader
