  • Proficiency in PostgreSQL or MongoDB,
  • Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes/AWS deployment processes,
  • Experience in creating projects from scratch,
  • Experience with profiling and performance optimisation,
  • Experience in giving high quality feedback during code review,
  • Knowledge of testing JavaScript code (Jest/Mocha/Chai/CodeceptJS).

What's in it for you?

  • Working with US-based start-ups and scale-ups on demanding but at the same time regarding projects.
  • Non-corporate work environment where you are given a lot of freedom.
  • Working with experienced professionals – we hire mainly senior-lever people.
  • Flexible working hours – you work the time that fits you best.
  • Flexibility in terms of the location of your work - you're invited to work from our loft-style office in Warsaw but 100% remotely is OK for us too!
