Senior Backend Developer

We are looking for a fierce backend developer to join our highly international team.

As a senior backend developer at Snowball, you will be responsible for the server-side code and APIs of our clients` products. You`ll be involved in the entire product development lifecycle including the design, development, deployment and maintenance of new and existing features. Your work will be imperative for the stability and quality of our clients` web applications. You`ll write reusable and maintainable code. You'll work closely with the rest of our development team to ensure system consistency and to create great user experiences. Ultimately, you'll be the driving force behind all backend activities.

How we work at Snowball Digital:

Snowball Digital is a flexible organization combining remote work and physical presence at the office. As a senior backend developer, you will be a part of a multi-national team, with colleagues all over the world. As a team member, you can choose to work fully remote or spend some or all of your time working at one of our offices in Skien or Oslo, Norway.

We hope you like to play with things like:

• Node.JS / TypeScript
• TDD
• GraphQL
• MongoDB
• AWS (things such as SQS, Lambda, ECS ...)
• Docker
• terraform

You ideally bring the following to our team:

A relevant educational background, like a bachelor's or master`s degree in software engineering or similar, might be useful. However, we also know that some of the best programmers out there are self-taught.

If you carry a true love of building software that can scale and perform, combined with a good understanding of the entire product development process, you`re already one step ahead.

You are already halfway there if you have a strong passion for continuous learning and development.

It helps if you can elegantly manage cloud services on AWS and a good understanding of the full stack required to build moderns scalable applications. You ideally also have a feel for dev-ops technologies like GitHub, AWS, Docker. You know; the things you need for continuous integration and agile development.

In Snowball, you must keep the client and their needs in mind. Clear communication and translating code to technical and non-technical clients is an important part of the job.

How we can help you grow:

Snowball is a diverse company offering varied and challenging work as part of a team launching the most innovative products supported by digital brilliance.
