⚠️ Please don’t mind of the location, we can hire all over Europe!

This role is at the core of WeTransfer’s growth. Your initiative will fuel cross-functional projects and develop new features to complete our platform and products. You’ll both be engaged in enhancing our existing architecture and in building your own. You’ll be supporting product and engineering teams, and connecting with the senior leadership team.

What you’ll be able to impact

• • You’ll lead significant technology initiatives from start to finish, across multiple layers of the architecture.
  • You’ll be architecting and developing scalable applications or systems to take our products to a whole new level (they are pretty great already though!)
  • You’ll drive the design and the implementation of durable software solutions that will solve critical customer problems—while making sure those are scalable, secure, easy to maintain, and able to interact with more systems.
  • You’ll provide recommendations and best practices for application development, platform development, and developer tools—by capturing requirements and use cases, and actively staying up to date on industry learnings and innovations.
  • You’ll act as a role model and coach to our software engineers while providing them with technical leadership.
  • You’ll inspire innovations to fuel our growth and generate creative ideas for emerging business needs.

What we are looking for

• • A proven track-record in delivering robust and scalable applications by following all the best practices.
  • You have extensive experience with cross-browser and cross-platform development, and are aware of the constraints that apply when doing that.
  • Your knowledge of algorithms and design patterns is solid.
  • You are well versed in test automation, from TDD, to unit, integration and functional testing.
  • You are familiar with open source UI frameworks.
  • You have a keen interest in building CI/CD pipelines, and working with Ruby (which we use in existing projects) and Go (which is going to be our choice moving forward).
  • You have practical experience in developing applications using microservices, container technologies and container management systems such as docker.
  • You are very familiar with Databases design (SQL, NoSQL) and analytics.
  • You have experience working in utility computing and/or the cloud computing domain.
  • You collected skills building and deploying applications into cloud environments.
  • And last but not least: you are fluent in English.

WeTransfer is an equal opportunity employer and we pride ourselves on the diversity of our people. We welcome you, and everything that makes you—well, you. That includes your gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, or disability status.

Our work environment is hybrid-remote, meaning that we support our employees to work remotely and in the office. We encourage employees to decide for themselves and with their team whether or when to go to the office. However, we recommend that you don’t come to the office more than 2-3 per week – since that wouldn’t be hybrid anymore.
