Hi! We’re on the lookout for a (Not just a) Junior Software Engineer to join our team of 60 problem-solvers in creating great products hand in hand with our abroad-based Clients.

Tasks and Responsibilities

• have a real impact on what we build and how we build it, and contribute to the growth of a high-performing quality-focused team, which relies on trust, shared responsibility, and self-organization
• use different tech both: back and front end, since our tech stack varies from project to project – our most popular technologies are: Python, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, React, JavaScript, TypeScript, AWS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Jenkins, and Docker, but you might also come across Java and a few more
• work on significant projects you will make a tangible difference in people's lives by contributing to either several EdTech or MedTech projects or perhaps become part of the unwavering success of a Big Data product around social media platforms.

• you are in a constant search of "the why" of things, you are able to diagnose a problem, distill important information, connect the dots, and propose some technical solutions

• you possess basic knowledge of algorithms and data structures
• you are familiar with the core concepts of relational databases and have knowledge of SQL of some flavor
• you keep up with the AI wave and experiment with AI tools in your daily work; you know when to lean on them and when to think things through on your own
