Associate Software Engineer

Job Purpose and Overview:

Join the team that owns OKR for Jira (our best-performing product), Panorama hierarchy & structure for Jira, or Goals, projects, and programs for Jira. OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results, a popular method of setting and tracking measurable goals, famously adopted by Google, Gates Foundation, Bono, and many other world-renowned companies.

Our products are growing quickly as we are adding new features, improving users' experience, and improving core technology. We’re looking for new colleagues who will help us with that mission.

OKR for Jira is developed in Java, TypeScript, and React. It’s hosted in the Google Cloud Platform and utilizes the MongoDB Atlas database.

What You Will Do:

• Join a self-organizing, cross-functional product team and cooperate closely with other Software Engineers, Product Managers, Team Leaders, and other specialists like Product marketers or Support Engineers.
• Design, build, and maintain efficient and scalable React and Java-based applications.
• Follow and establish the best engineering practices: automated testing, code reviews, pair programming, and YBIYRI (you built it you run it).
• Share your thoughts openly and honestly on what would be the best for the customers and the business: you will be part of discussions about the future of our products and Appfire.
• Decide freely about your day and assignments - we do not micromanage people and we do care about work & life balance.
• Be the change you seek - if you see that something can be improved, suggest how and make it happen (alone or by engaging your colleagues).
• Benefit from the seamless access to the Support team, quick feedback, and direct communication with our customers.

What We Would Like to See:

• Relevant professional-commercial experience (1+ years) with JavaScript or TypeScript programming languages - we appreciate some breadth, but value depth even more!
• Hands-on experience with front-end (Typescript and React).
• Willingness to learn and use multiple technologies: React & Typescript for frontend and Java & Spring-Boot for backend.
• Truly engineering approach to solving problems. Good theoretical foundations of computer science (e.g. algorithms and computational complexity, OOP) are super practical in the ever-changing landscape of technologies.
• Basic understanding of the architecture of web applications, including performance, quality, and security aspects.
• Command of English at level B2 or higher.
• Back-end technologies experience with Java & Spring-Boot and its frameworks (e.g. MVC, Data) is nice to have.
