About the role:

“Data is king, but you have to know how to use it” That is the motto we apply when working on Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards app. We enable teams to get maximum of their Jira data with advanced filters, charts, gadgets, real-time reports that come with our interactive dashboards. Thousands of companies around the world benefit from the power of data, directly in Jira. Do you want to help them be “kings”? We’d like to see you joining!

What you’ll do:

  • Be a part of a self-organizing, cross-functional product team and cooperate closely with other Software Engineers, Product Manager, Team Leader, UX Designers, and with other specialists like Product Marketeers or Support Engineers.
  • Design, build, and maintain efficient and scalable TypeScript, React, Java & SpringBoot based applications.
  • Follow and establish the best engineering practices: automated testing, code reviews, YBIYRI (you built it you run it).
  • Share your thoughts openly and honestly on what would be the best for the customers and the business: you will be part of discussions about the future of our products and Appfire.
  • Decide freely about your day and assignments - we do not micromanage people and we do care about work & life balance. Your mental and physical health is important to us.
  • Be the change you seek - if you see that something can be improved, suggest how and make it happen (alone or by engaging your colleagues)!

  • Hands-on experience with JavaScript or TypeScript, ideally using React.
  • Willingness to learn and use multiple technologies (frontend and backend).
  • True engineering approach to solving problems. Good theoretical foundations of computer science (e.g. algorithms and computational complexity, OOP) are super practical in the ever-changing landscape of technologies.
  • Strong architectural understanding of web applications, including performance, quality and security aspects.
  • Good understanding of modern Cloud architectures, and practical experience implementing them in AWS or GCP.
  • Experience with Java and its frameworks (particularly Spring MVC/Boot/Data) is highly desirable.
  • Experience defining test cases and writing automation would be an advantage.
  • Prior experience with Jira and its ecosystem will set you apart.
  • Ability to decompose complex problems into well described, realistic to estimate tasks.
  • Command of English at level B2 or higher is required.
