We are inviting a talented programmer to join a collaborative and engineering focused team environment, in the the Growth squad responsible for driving Spendesk customers growth in a pivotal time as the company is moving from a sales led model to an hybrid growth engine combining sales motion with a powerful product led acquisition funnel.

The team will be new and you will also be able to contribute ideas to nurture changes to the part of the business the team will be responsible for. Once fully established, the squad will have a Product Manager, a Product Designer, and 4-6 Software Engineers (backend, frontend and fullstack). Together you will collaborate in outlining, shaping, and implementing experiments and solutions at fast pace to improve our product-led sales tunnel and refine our free offer to provide a delightful experience and increase adoption of our products.

You will be reporting into the Team Lead of the squad, who will be supporting you on your growth journey.

Our Engineers at Spendesk have a product mindset and can participate in product decisions and product discovery where there is ambiguity.

Our stack is mainly composed of Node, React, TypeScript, MySQL & PostgreSQL, AWS, (SQS, S3, Glacier, ...), Terraform & Kubernetes, and GitHub (even for the CI).

About the role:

Your work is not only about writing code, you will be a great team player with a high degree of collaboration: making the team better every day is your mantra! Needless to say that by joining our team as software engineer you'll get to work closely with anyone across the company and every decision you'll make may have a huge impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build experiments, shipping fast and small, then work with product and design to monitor, learn and improve

• Consolidating validated experiments by implementing secure, reliable and scalable solutions, improving our technical architecture and developing features end-to-end

• Be responsible for all aspects of them: technical design, development, testing, documentation, deployment, and maintainability.

Who we are looking for:

• 2-3 years of software development experience in a professional setting

• Willingness to use JavaScript and TypeScript, experience with these languages is beneficial, but not a necessity

• Experience in building and consuming REST APIs

• Passionate about product aspects, transforming ambiguous needs into concrete and impactful technical solutions: you love tackling challenges

• Ability to mentor more junior engineers and help them develop their skills

• Fluency in written and spoken English - it is our business language

As we are an international team, please submit your application and CV in English.
