MikMak is looking for a Software Engineer to join our growing Product & Engineering team. This role is an opportunity to work on a variety of web applications and/or infrastructure components, all of which power our Platform that handles hundreds of thousands of daily users.
We use Javascript as our main language at MikMak, with Vue.js powering our front end experiences, and Node.js running our backend & services. We rely on Google Cloud and AWS to host and manage most of what we do.
