• Annual bonus based on your annual performance and company results. 

• Our team is based in Toruń. 

What You'll Do:

• Design, develop, test and maintain high-quality code for backend services, APIs and automation scripts.

• Design and develop new project architectures while proposing better architectural approaches for existing solutions.

• Share knowledge with team members and support junior engineers.

• Collaborate with product managers, data analysts, UX designers and fellow engineers to gather and refine requirements.

• Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills, paired with a Data-Driven mindset.

• High learning agility, adaptability to change, flexibility  and strong skills in communication and cooperation.

What's in it for you:

• Well-located offices (with e.g. fully equipped kitchens, bicycle parking, terraces full of greenery) and excellent work tools (e.g., raised desks, ergonomic chairs, interactive conference rooms).

• A 16" or 14" MacBook Pro or corresponding Dell with Windows (if you don't like Macs) and all the necessary accessories.

• A wide selection of fringe benefits in a cafeteria plan - you choose what you like (e.g., medical, sports or lunch packages, insurance, purchase vouchers).

• English classes that we pay for related to the specific nature of your job.

• A training budget, inter-team tourism (see more here), hackathons, and an internal learning platform where you will find multiple trainings.
