- You are familiar with various UI frameworks like Tailwind CSS
- Your GIT foo is extensive
- You have a breadth-first approach to software engineering, looking outside web tech stack when needed: you are comfortable with command-line tools and other programming languages, you don’t shy away from deployment infrastructure or learning what’s needed to do your best work
- You possess a strong sense of building clean code that other developers enjoy browsing and and extending, always striving for simplicity and composability
- You have a well-rounded approach to problem solving, and understand the difference between when to fix and when to refactor

- You have excellent communication skills and thrive in the challenging environment that is a fully distributed remote company
- You have an excellent command of the English language
- You write top-notch documentation and are happy to deliver occasional blog posts, as well as showcase both your solutions and code through DEMOs and tutorials
What the job involves
- Iterate quickly to develop full-fledged SaaS (end user) products from scratch (e.g. with React and Next.js) based on clear product scope and designs in Figma
- Build new features and fix issues for existing products on a regular schedule
- Build solution boilerplates meant for other developers
- Develop UI and UX according to specifications and design concepts
- Write readable and well-documented code that scales
- Collaborate with teams distributed in 30+ countries using Slack, Notion, JIRA and Zoom

- Innovate using the latest front-end and back end technologies, frameworks, and approaches
Our take
While the transition from paper documents to digital files has greatly improved document management and sharing efficiency for businesses, collaborating on digital formats like PDFs can still present challenges. Many tools exist to address these issues but often result in businesses relying on a patchwork of fragmented solutions.
PSPDFKit offers a solution by providing an SDK (Software Development Kit) tailored for PDF tool developers. This SDK streamlines the creation of software tools for tasks such as PDF editing, markup, analysis, collaboration, and recognition, among other digital transformation techniques. It encompasses a range of APIs designed for seamless integration across various devices and platform formats, allowing developers and businesses to effortlessly incorporate advanced PDF functionality into their applications and back-end systems.
Notably, industry leaders including Dropbox, DocuSign, SAP, IBM, and Volkswagen have placed their trust in PSPDFKit's product. The company has secured substantial funding, which is being strategically invested into expediting product growth and supporting key acquisitions.
