Senior Fullstack Engineer

at  Famly

At Famly, we’re looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer or T-shaped Backend with a dream of going fullstack, to build scalable solutions and help our amazing product reach the next level, to help the thousands of daycares that use Famly. You will be joining a fantastic team as the fifth engineer in our Parent/Teacher Partnership crew.
You Are either a very strong intermediate or a solid senior, with an absolute minimum of 2 years of professional experience, you have a very good grasp on Scala and functional programming and preferably also React, GraphQL, REST APIs, Git handling, agile development etc.

We are looking for people in the following locations:

• Copenhagen, Denmark (preferred)
• Berlin, Germany
• UK (Remote)
• Lisbon, Portugal

If you will be applying for a remote position, we only accept time zones that are +- 2h from CET.
And Famly are…? Well it all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. The paper ‘parent’ books they exchanged once a month just weren’t cutting it. Together with his friend, our co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.

These days, the 140 of us building Famly talk about trying to do two things for our 4,000 nurseries:

• Giving children the best possible start to life.
• Championing the vital work that goes into making that happen.

We do it with software that brings hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child’s day while they’re away from them. We also make financial, pedagogical, and planning tools for more than 34,000 childcare professionals, saving them hours and reducing their admin stress.
Ultimately, that gives them more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter. Come help us make that happen.

IN THE COPENHAGEN HQ, WE ALSO HAVE:

• Daily buffet and a well-stocked drinks fridge (did someone say snack corner?)
• Plenty of social activities… game nights, go climbing with colleagues, Friday bars, big quarterly social events, team fun with dinners out, office BBQs, and more!
