As a software developer at Reaktor, your job is to

Work on various software development tasks, building either web or mobile apps

Your daily tasks include:

• Collaborating with client's tech and business teams: discussing their needs and challenges and trying to figure out what to focus on in the project.

• Implementing new features that require changes to frontend applications, backend servers, and/or databases.

You are

A curious-minded developer who is comfortable working on both backend and frontend of an app

To thrive in this position, you’ll need:

• Experience on a broad spectrum (back end, front end, and ops). Usually, to be successful in this role at Reaktor, we've noticed it's good to have a minimum of four years of relevant work experience.
• Previous experience with at least one common server-side programming language. Currently, many of our projects are built with TypeScript/JavaScript and Node.js. But, Java/Scala/Kotlin, Clojure, and Python are also used.
• Strong knowledge of at least one common client-side language and framework. We often use TypeScript/JavaScript and React on our web app projects and Swift, Java/Scala/Kotlin, or TypeScript/JavaScript React-native on mobile.
• Relevant skills to create new backend services.
• Know-how on databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).
• To be comfortable engaging with the client stakeholders when needed.
• Fluent verbal & written English skills.
• To be willing to work in a hybrid set up, where you work with your team at the office or at the client premises.

Why join us?

For two decades, we’ve been developing qualities and capabilities for adapting, reacting, and supporting change – building Reaktor to hold up in a fast-paced environment while ensuring the well-being of our people.

While working at Reaktor, we’ll provide you with:

• To be able to impact how you work. Together with the client, your team chooses the approach, technologies, and methodologies you think will work best in any given situation.
• A community with as much support as your heart desires.
• A team that’s not only experienced but considerate as well – they all want you to succeed.
• A sustainable work-life balance and support for your daily life outside of work.
• An opportunity to grow as a professional. In addition to the day-to-day work, we offer internal training courses, community events, and 15-minute coffee breaks to discuss hot topics in tech and design.
• A possibility to take part in more extended academy-like studies like Cloud Academy.
• 300+ hobby clubs, from winter swimming and running to knitting and archery, that bring people together outside of (and sometimes inside) office hours. Many of these are supported by Reaktor.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Together, we are committed to making Reaktor an environment that embraces and values all of our employees for the whole of who they are. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply, knowing that studies show that members of underrepresented communities don’t apply for jobs unless they fully satisfy all of the requirements. If you're thinking twice about applying for this reason, we invite you to send us your application anyway. You could be just the person we're looking for.
