We at Collabora are looking for Fullstack Web Application Developers to join our in-house Tools team.
The Tools team develops and supports applications used by our colleagues to execute, analyse and inform the delivery of projects in every area of the business. We want to build the future of business automation in the free software domain.
As a Senior Fullstack Developer you will be working closely with other Tools Developers, users, Product Owners, the Delivery Team and People Leads to give them the tooling they need to support and protect the unique way in which Collabora works.
You will need to be a specialist in building secure, well-tested web applications using Django, make sensible choices about UI and know how to get things deployed.
You'll be able to capture, simplify and model real-world processes and structures, and keep those models updated as requirements evolve.
You will know how to reverse engineer and fix things you haven't seen before, and you will know how to make slow things go fast.
You will be patient and pragmatic, careful and caring, and will take seriously the team's mission to maximise:
- Engineers' freedom to work on things at which they are *excellent*
- Our colleagues' headspace for personal development and learning
- The role of open source in all business operations
- The richness of everybody's cultural experience within Collabora
In return, the business will provide:
- An open engineering culture where you will be able to exchange ideas with technical experts in a wide range of software fields
- Meetups and conference attendance (COVID permitting)
- Flexible hours and a battle-tested remote working culture
If you care about open source and writing software to help companies regain control of their operations, then please apply!
