Senior Backend Engineer - EY Tech.Collective

at  EY

At the EY Tech.Collective, you will be building tax and law software products for increased efficiency, quality, and joy.
We help thousands of clients with services such as producing correct and compliant tax filings, and consulting multinational companies on how to navigate the international tax landscape.
To do those jobs with the highest of degree of accuracy and efficiency, smooth processes and great software play key roles.
We operate across the Nordics (DK, FI, SE, NO) with a small, flat, and informal organisation of ~30 engineers, designers, researchers, and PMs. In a distributed setup across all countries where we work from home and offices depending on preferences and needs.
Tax? Yes, tax filings and tax law are the domains we design and build for, so having an interest in those areas would be good. Actual experience and domain knowledge is of course a plus, but certainly not a requirement. It’s a pretty small Venn diagram of senior engineers who also have professional tax experience.
Above all, we value working with good all-round people. People who are both highly specialised but are capable collaborating across disciplines.

SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES FOR SUCCESS

We are looking for a good coder and a great colleague. These are the most important things that should characterise you.

• A real craftsperson and a stickler for details.
• Delightful to be around.
• A clear communicator.
• Supportive and helpful.
• Quick to solve problems.
• Questioning ideas and decisions before committing.
• Eager to learn.
