Remote Backend + Content + CSS + Developer + Engineer Jobs

\nA few months ago we started out with the vision of building a next generation sports betting platform focused on performance, reliability, modularity and automation. We believe that our experience paired with today’s technologies, great talent and the agility of a startup environment will enable us to deliver a best-in-class product that meets the demands of the market of tomorrow.\n\nOur Client Services Team is now on the lookout for a Senior Software Engineer who wants to join our distributed team and help us execute our vision.\n\nThe Team\n\nThe Client Domain is all about innovation. Here we shape our products to satisfy the needs of our heterogeneous customer base. To achieve this you will collaborate closely with the Frontend Engineers of the Client Team to design and implement bespoke APIs and services that will be used by our different products and brands.\n\nThe Client Services Team is tasked with the development of all backend services required by our client applications, i.e. primarily the  API Gateway of our platform but also client-related services such as authentication, internationalisation or content management and other backend services that allow us to provide a unique experience to a specific segment of our users. Being our platform’s gateway to the outside world, scalability and responsiveness is of utmost importance in the Client Domain. It is worth noting that the traffic pattern of our platform will not only be dictated by the sporting calendar but also by the sometimes unpredictable behaviour of our users.\n\nBy joining our team you will be working primarily in Elixir but you will also influence the full lifecycle of our software, starting with architectural and design decisions, all the way to the implementation, testing and monitoring of the resulting services.\n\nRemote Work\n\nWe are hiring for talent, not for a specific location. You will find that members of our team are distributed all over Europe. Being a distributed team enables us to hire only the best, without being restricted to the talent pool available at a specific geographic location. However, to facilitate team communication and collaboration we currently require you to be located in a European time zone (between UTC-1 and UTC+3). You must also be able to travel to other European locations a few times a year for on-site meetings and workshops.\n\nCompensation\n\nThe budgeted compensation range for this role is €65k-90k annually, depending on your background and experience. As an independent contractor you will be responsible for paying any taxes or applicable fees in your country of residence (unless you are based in Malta, in which case you will be employed). In addition to that, we offer a number of perks to each of our team members as we truly believe in a healthy work-life balance and continuous learning.\n\nRequirements\n\n\n* \n\n5+ years experience in developing complex web and mobile applications with JavaScript\n\n\n* \n\nWorking experience with at least one statically typed flavour of JavaScript\n\n\n* \n\nSolid experience with at least one main frontend framework\n\n\n* \n\nGood knowledge of HTML and CSS standards\n\n\n* \n\nProficient user of a modern development toolchain: linters, package managers, bundlers, Git, continuous integration pipelines\n\n\n* \n\nFamiliarity with automated testing frameworks\n\n\n* \n\nInterest in keeping yourself up to date and learning new languages, frameworks and technologies as required\n\n\n* \n\nInterest in taking full ownership of your applications and managing them in a production environment including the troubleshooting of live incidents\n\n\n* \n\nProduct-oriented mindset and eagerness to take part in shaping the products we build\n\n\n* \n\nHighly process driven and eager to learn\n\n\n* \n\nAbility to work autonomously in a fully distributed team\n\n\n* \n\nGood communication skills in verbal and written English\n\n\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n No salary data published by company so we estimated salary based on similar jobs related to Senior, Engineer, Developer, Digital Nomad, CSS, HTML, Travel, Mobile and Backend jobs that are similar:\n\n $65,000 — $120,000/year\n
