SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER

About this Job Type of job: Full-time Role: Software Engineer Experience level: Senior Industry: Mobility, Automotive, Banking, Utilities Company Size: 40 - 60 people Salary range: € 35.000 - € 50.000 Job location: Rome (chances to work remotely) Language: Italian or English (fluent) Job Description This job position is aimed at Senior Software Engineers. At our company, a Software Engineer is expected to have cross-functional skills between backend and frontend. However, we are glad to hire IT professionals that are more focused on one of these two sides and have only a basic knowledge of the other side. If you join our team, we will expect you to develop new skills also on the topics you are less familiar with. This will be achieved through both training on the job and personal training courses tailored to improving your missing skills. We are looking for a smart person who is strongly goal-oriented and able to reason analytically. This profile should be able to collaborate with other team members to solve all the daily challenges that will arise. They will have to use their programming and engineering skills to analyze the current code and improve it. They will also constantly collaborate on the improvement of our company processes. We expect to find a person who, before writing tons of code, dedicates the right amount of time to planning and modeling. We also expect you to keep a high code quality with a "living documentation" approach and high-level code comments, in order to make collaboration with other team members as easy as possible. A very important skill for us is the ability to autonomously evaluate your own work and schedule code refactors when necessary. Finally, we expect you to autonomously evaluate and criticize the design choices you will work with day by day, actively contributing to evolving our projects and constantly aiming to improve both yourself and your team. Backend On the backend side, you will work on two possible aspects of our system. On one hand, we expect you to develop a backend system made up of microservices. On the other hand, you might be working on what we define as "the backend part of our frontend", hence developing client-side code which does not include any graphical and user-facing part. Frontend Frontend software engineers will work on client-side code. On one hand, we will expect you to develop the UI part of our clients (basically UI components using HTML and CSS), both Web, using mostly React, and mobile, using React Native. On the other hand, you will work on developing frontend logics, including complex flows for the end users of our applications. We often use state machines to model frontend logics; if you are curious about how we do this, we can discuss this in detail during our interview process. Requirements At least 5 years of previous experience in the field Ability to coordinate technical teams Being able to analyze complex problems At least a basic knowledge of both backend and frontend development A deep knowledge of either backend or frontend development Enthusiasm to solve complex problems Knowledge of most common design patterns and best practices Some knowledge of "Our working stack" section Basic knowledge of DevOps practices (UNIX scripting, Docker) Bonus Points Computer Science or Engineering degree Open Source contributor StackOverflow contributor Academic papers published Cross-functional skills between backend and frontend Interview Process Step 1 - Solve some coding problems : You will be sent an assignment with some coding problems. You can choose which problems to solve in one hour and submit your solutions. The solutions you submit will be evaluated by our recruiters and, in case they are satisfactory, you will be moved to the next recruitment step. Step 2 - Let's get to know each other : In this second step, you will have a call with one of our recruiters and they will present you our company and the job position you applied for. They will also ask you to briefly discuss your background and your previous experience. At this stage, feel free to ask any questions about our company and the job position! Step 3 - Technical interview(s) : In this step, you will be requested to solve some algorithmic problems in a live coding session with one or more of our recruiters. You can use any programming language you like. We never ask trick questions and we will not ask you theorems or definitions by heart; we just want to understand how you think and how you approach problems: if you have a good basic knowledge, we can build together on that. Step 4 - Final interview : Here you will get to talk with our head recruiter and our Engineering Director. We will get to know each other better and go through an assessment of your technical interviews and maybe follow up with some further discussion about the problems you faced. Step 5 - Job offer : In case you successfully completed all the above steps, one of our people managers will get in touch with you to discuss the logistics, economics, and benefits and follow up with a job offer.
