Senior Software Engineer
(Kotlin/Backend)
Superside is looking for Backend Engineers at all levels to help us build a product that strongly impacts the creative industry.
We’re building Superspace, a DesignOps system, that allows our globally distributed team members and customers to work together remotely. We enable seamless creative collaboration and project management thanks to features like briefing, staffing, design feedback and asset delivery. You’ll be a part of a forward-thinking Staffing team that values ownership, initiative and growth.
Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you’ll get to collaborate with people across different departments, building technology and processes that will directly impact the product and the business.
What you'll be doing
- Build, test and ship features like chat, staffing, project management, design collaboration, integrations, workflow editor and more
- Be part of important product discussions, and discuss with product managers, UX designers and other engineers
- Create and contribute to technical specs and testing/rollout plans
- Mentor and support teammates to help them grow
- Be part of important technical difficult discussions (we're not looking for people to only execute but really participate in solving an issue with innovative thinking)
Our biggest challenge right now
Moving forward, the Tech, Product & Design department is decomposing the business domain into isolated bounded contexts while mitigating the technical constraints related to the growing product usage. Our aim is to foster more independence so we grow fast as a department.
As we continue encouraging a knowledge-sharing environment inside the team, there's an opportunity to grow within the role. We're looking for hard-working team players and focused individual contributors who speak up their minds and enjoy actively engaging with team members.
What you’ll need to succeed
- Experience with modern web development
- Working knowledge of Kotlin and Spring
- Ability to be a hard-working team player and focused individual contributor
- Eagerness to learn and develop new skills
- Experience with Unit or E2E testing
- Proficient English communication skills (both verbal and written)
Why join us
Superside's vision is to create more equal opportunities globally by accelerating the world’s transition to online work. With that in mind, we’ve built a natively remote company enabling us to attract the best talent no matter where they are.
Need more convincing? Here’s a skimmable, non-exhaustive list of reasons to join us:
- A global community of talented people working from more than 60 different countries
- Flexible working hours and fully remote setup. We've been remote from day one. No weird office legacy
- A high-pace, high-energy, and high-performance environment
- Trusting, ego-free and truth-seeking team members
- Pioneering the future of work with a fair, friendly and supportive community. We’re pretty proud of this one
- A career path towards increased responsibility, mentorship and leadership. We grow, you grow
- We are a global company with 450+ subscription customers worldwide and are experiencing strong revenue growth. You will be exposed to all aspects of a business in startup mode and scaling quickly
- We’re just the right size. Not a small startup and not a corporate entity either
- See something you want to improve? Awesome. We’re a flexible and collaborative team that is always learning and growing
We’re building Superspace, our DesignOps system
It allows our users to focus on the design production instead of wasting time and energy on all the operational activities that come with it. We enable seamless remote creative collaboration and project management across the world thanks to features like briefing, project management, staffing, design feedback and asset delivery. This result in faster delivery without compromising the quality of the design work.
And this is where you come into play
We are growing quickly and looking for software engineers at all levels on all our teams across product and infrastructure. Most of our software engineers would describe themselves as a T-shaped engineer with one skill they are expert in (e.g. frontend, backend or DevOps), and multiple skills they are familiar with.
Hiring process
This is our general hiring process, it might be adjusted for certain roles when necessary.
An initial interview between you and someone from the team to get to know each other and learn more about how we work.
This is where you get to show us your technical skills. We've gotten rid of the old algorithmic, theoretical type of questions and provide real-world testing scenarios/questions that are relevant to our current stack environment. The ability tests have been selected to measure the skills and competencies needed to succeed in the role.
1-hour discussion regarding your technical experience. This is your chance to walk us through your work and the logic behind it. During the discussion, you will be given the opportunity to present your thoughts on different aspects of the development arena.
The last meeting with the Management team will last around 1 hour and it’s another chance to talk about our mutual expectations, address any concerns, and dive deeper into how you could be successful in Superside.
Life in the Tech, Product & Design Team
We are intellectually curious, eager to grow, and ready to make a big impact in the world. Teams in TPD own the complete software lifecycle. We foster an open feedback culture because everyone’s opinion is important to push our mission forward. We focus on discovering and solving real-world user problems, not just building and shipping features. We take great pride in our company culture and fiercely embrace our principles. We’re committed to showing up and supporting a co-worker, even in busy times.
