Job Purpose and Overview:

Today’s modern technology world is awesome but complex. The amount of tools can be overwhelming. At Appfire we build solutions to make life easier, where our developers are the innovators delivering solutions for complex problems. Want to see how? - Check Connector for Salesforce & Jira, a solution that has helped more than 3,000 customers by integrating Jira and Salesforce, or our Salesforce integrations with other Atlassian products - Confluence and JSM. Are you up for the challenge? Join our product team and be a part of this exciting journey!

What you will do:

• Be a part of a self-organizing, cross-functional product team and cooperate closely with other Software Engineers, Product Managers, Team Leaders, UX Designers, and with other specialists like Support Engineers.
• Design, build, and maintain efficient and scalable Java / Scala, Python, and TypeScript-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.
