  • A lot of freedom to organize your work and life — you are not bound to daily standups, recurring meetings or other ceremonies.
  • Competitive salary, stock options, unlimited PTO and a set of perks and benefits.
  • A supportive and kind work environment where we would like you to challenge the dogmas and pursue innovation!

What you bring

  • Significant experience as a Senior Backend Engineer, which includes building, shipping and maintaining a complicated software project
  • Solid knowledge and experience in Elixir and Postgres (or similar database)
  • Experience in dealing with ambiguity, taking abstract concepts and turning them into working software
  • Strong ability to work independently and self-guided
  • Curiosity and willingness to learn and develop
  • Experience working in Payroll or Finance projects is a plus

Practicals

  • Start date: As soon as possible
