Our mission is to deliver a platform for surveys to increase application portfolio assessment. As a (junior) Backend Engineer you are not only an individual contributor, but you also help solving business domain problems. You will play an integral role in our development team, responsible for building and maintaining the server-side logic of our dynamic, interactive online survey platform.
Our team is one of four cross-functional teams building the foundation of our EAM product. The team’s mission is to:
- Improve data gathering for portfolio applications of big companies
- Simplify surveys to a non-technical audience
- Improve and secure API
- Help define features

- Empowering Work Environment: We've invested heavily in creating an environment that fosters growth and provides open access to leadership, transparent communication, and opportunities for personal development.
- Complex Engineering Challenges: We're tackling hard engineering problems at a large scale, requiring creativity and strong engineering expertise.
- Empowered Product Teams: You're not just executing a roadmap; you're solving real problems. We value and reward outcomes, not just output.
- Ownership and Autonomy: We build it, we run it! We ensure our customers can rely on our features. This means we value resilience, automation, and proactive problem-solving.
- Continuous Improvement: We prioritize ongoing learning, collaboration, and sharing knowledge. We strive to continuously improve our products by validating and measuring user interactions.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
You should apply if you are someone who likes to:
- Collaborate with Product Management & UI/UX teams as part of a customer focused team.
- Be guided by engineering values: they aren’t just some pretty word on a blog post. We live by them and challenge ourselves with them.
- Share knowledge and make people around him/her grow: could it be through active mentorship, pair programming, code reviews or knowledge sharing sessions
- Be in the driver seat: this position requires proactivity and ownership.
- frequently get out of its comfort zone: we grow at a fast pace and evolve frequently
