Role
Who you are
- Are you a battle-proven senior fullstack engineer with a passion for solving complex problems?
- If you’re a go-getter who loves to transform challenges into triumphs, this is the type of project you'll be proud to look back on. And you will do so with a wonderful team
- Expert knowledge of REST APIs and their design
- Experience in writing unit-tests and end-to-end (e2e) tests
- Initial experience in architectural design, writing and collaborating on ADRs with Staff Engineers, and shaping long-term technical direction, would be beneficial
- Ideally familiar with Docker, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, Prometheus or Grafana
- Proficient experience in JavaScript and TypeScript
- Mastery of React, and comfortable working without a framework when needed
- Awareness of Accessibility (a11y) best practices
- You are fluent in Kotlin (or Java) and comfortable driving backend design and implementation with it
- Comfortable working with databases (MongoDB is a plus)
- Experience with Golang is a plus
- You value clean code, testing, and continuous learning
- Prior experience in an agile/Scrum environment
- Passion for the things you build and the ability to diagnose and resolve complex, ambiguous issues with limited guidance
- Knowledge of product discovery, especially evaluating feasibility collaboratively within a team, is a major plus

- Very good English communication skills
- Openness towards AI technologies and curiosity about how they can improve our product and workflows
What the job involves

- Our team is one of the oldest teams in our product organization: we are News!
- You'll start by tackling the legacy foundation, clearing the path to lay a new, state-of-the-art groundwork
- From there, you'll be a key player in igniting a new era of innovation, pushing the boundaries of what's possible and shaping the future of our central product
- Responsible for improving and developing our web-based clients and RESTful web services
- Work in a cross-functional Scrum team and produce high-quality and tested code
- Give and receive valuable feedback in our code review process and continuously learn and share knowledge with your peers
- Being open to feedback and taking ownership of your work are essential
- You work iteratively, frequently pushing code, ensuring a good CI/CD pipeline, and automating where possible
Our take
Since launching in 2014, Staffbase has grown into a major name in the internal communications niche. Its platform is used by the likes of Samsung, ALDI, DHL, and Domino’s to create branded, mobile-first communication and information sharing tools which can access a company’s intranet from anywhere.
Staffbase has managed to set itself apart to some extent from the range of other internal communication apps like Slack and Teams by focusing on building a product tailored towards dedicated internal communication teams, rather than taking a more general approach.
This is proving to be a good decision as, with the shift to remote and hybrid working, the last few years have seen Staffbase gather serious momentum. A 2021 merger with Canadian competitor Banantang has been followed up by a series of major funding rounds and a rise to unicorn status. As well as this, it’s been expanding its own product portfolio through a number of strategic acquisitions as it looks to stay ahead of the competition.
