Responsibilities: 

• Participate in all aspects of agile software development and product design process.
• Work on backend code and infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.
• Develop and maintain JavaScript/Typescript web applications using technologies such as Docker, Apollo, Express.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.
• Implement and adhere to best practices for code quality: writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code.
• Create unit and integration tests and participate in code reviews to maintain high code quality.
• Configure and maintain simple CI/CD pipelines.
• Help set up monitoring tools for various products to enhance performance and user experience.
• Guide and support other software developers, facilitating knowledge sharing and exchange among the team.

About you: 

• 3+ years experience as a full-stack developer using JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s in computer science or similar. 
• Strong proficiency in back-end technologies like Node.js, REST APIs (Express), and GraphQL (Apollo). 
• Solid understanding and experience with SQL databases, particularly PostgreSQL. 
• Bonus points if you have experience with CI/CD tools and processes, preferably with DigitalOcean and GitHub. 

 

You may be a good fit if: 

• You own ideas and actively bring them to the table. You can communicate clearly and proactively to achieve mutual understanding and manage expectations.
• You enjoy collaborating in a diverse company and team of different disciplines and are willing to take others along and support your teammates. You can inspire others with your ideas and bring positive energy to the team.
• You get excited about the opportunity to solve complex problems and enjoy working through challenges. You are proactive in identifying potential roadblocks and seeking solutions to overcome them.
• You have a talent for picking up new technologies. We value the eagerness to learn and explore new tech stacks rather than stick with what we have. 

 

What’s in it for you? 

• An Inspiring Work Environment: Enjoy a young, vibrant, and inspiring work atmosphere at OLYX. 
• A Supportive Team: Be part of a multicultural and supportive team, where your qualitative as well as quantitative contributions are highly valued.
