Agile Software-Development and IT-Operations made in Berlin

Your challenges:

We are a small company working in small teams and consider ourselves as “startup at heart”. As our company group is successfull in business since 20 years, but we’ve kept our flat hierarchies and let’s-do-it-mentality. We believe that a pleasant atmosphere helps teams to be effective and creative. Creating, maintaining and fostering exactly that will be your first challenge. We would love to hear your ideas about how you’d like to coach and guide your team. You will be their go-to-person when it comes to providing reasonable architectural decision making and solid plans that cover the details as well as the bigger picture.

Tech-wise, our solution is build in Java using Spring and Hibernate. Imagine it as a big variety of micro-services using RESTful APIs which empower HTML5-Web-Applications. To be completely honest, there is still some legacy code involved that we want to get rid of.

How will you bring its functionalities into new services, allowing new features to be created quickly? To save our customers time, you will need to ensure connections to a fistful of cloud services like Google, Office365, Apple, CRM-systems, telephony services and many more.

Creating a new backend infrastructure with a modern Frontend application is your challenge number two. Right now, we are combining the concepts of Micro-Services in the backend with Web-Components and HTML5 in the Frontend. You’ve got better ideas? Let us know - you’re the expert!

About us

What is key to every business success? It is keeping focus on what you are best at and leave your competitors behind. Many freelancers and small business owners are forced to do everything themselves resulting in loss of focus and missed business opportunities. They can’t use their time efficiently because they get distracted by incoming calls, messages and mails or miss on opportunities because they were not able to answer that one call that would have been the next big deal.

Our powerful and constantly developing software as a service communication platform is for more than 20 years a catalyst for success in that our customers never miss an opportunity while being able to maintain focus and concentrate on their core activities.

Tasks

Your challenge: 

Collaborating with our designers, you will create interfaces that make it fun and satisfying to interact with our services. Communication with the back-end is done through a REST-API, which you will help to extend. You will build new web-apps for our customers using JavaScript, CSS3 and HTML5 by leveraging modern technologies like Angular or NativeScript. Great user experience is key.

Requirements

Your profile: 

• • You are fluent in web technologies like HTML, CSS3 and JavaScript
  • Knowledge of Angular and Nativescript is an asset
  • You have multiple years of working experience in frontend development
  • You are able to use REST-based backend services (if you can do it in Java it's a plus)
  • You think pragmatically and constantly look for the best solution
  • You feel responsibility for our products and have the willingness to participate in architectural discussions and decisions

It’s a match, if we share some core beliefs:

• Treat your teammates as you’d like to be treated.
• Be a good mentor and coach to your team.
• People before technology & Smart solutions over ideology
• Clear and transparent communication and expectations.
• Being a team player and not a lonesome hero.
• Contributing your favourite idea to a discussion with colleagues is about creating something bigger, not about telling others how great you are or how things should be done.
• Agile Methods like Scrum or Kanban are a tool to improve the product step by step and flexible, not a religion.
• No discussion, no honey
