Within the engineering team, we are organized in multiple cross-functional teams. By applying for this role, you will have the chance to become part of the Platform team.

We, the Platform team, are responsible for the core application of HousingAnywhere and are the team where it all started for HousingAnywhere. Here you'll find those we call the "dinosaurs" of HousingAnywhere. Djordy, our CEO, started our team back when he was Head of Product.

Down the line, everything we do should add to conversions and should help HousingAnywhere grow to be the number 1 market place for students and young professionals in the world.

Our mission as a team is to provide high-quality matching between tenants and landlords and to drive trust between the users of the marketplace. We think about these challenges every day in order to build a world-class product. If this sounds interesting to you, don't hesitate to read on.

About your role and impact in the platform team

HousingAnywhere has entered a scale-up phase in which we have seen impressive growth in terms of bookings and liquidity in the marketplace. This growth has brought us many technical challenges. On one end of the stack we build features and improvements to optimize conversions, on the other end we are making our infrastructure more resilient for future growth.

Some of the challenges we are tackling:

On the frontend side:

Consolidate our React based frontend with tests and consistent designProvide users with a more fulfilling mobile experience through PWA technologies and principlesIntegrate real-time technology to deliver content to users quicklyContinuously improve SEO through performance and content delivery

On the backend side:

Pragmatically redesigning the core system to identify services and run them outside the main monolithMoving the core platform to Kubernetes and continuous deploymentRethinking the way we represent and store data to allow easier integrations through events and denormalizationMonitoring and improving the performance of our private API.Your role in the team is to contribute to solving these challenges by implementing solutions and assisting our team so that our innovative technology can support future business needs.

As a Senior Software Engineer we expect you to mentor our less senior team members and to work closely with our team lead and PO to help them solve technical challenges they face.

We also expect you to challenge our choices and practices by bringing your opinion in the mix, because only by rethinking our best practices we can really evolve as people and as a company.

Our stack

In frontend we are React lovers. We use Redux, CSS-in-JS, TypeScript, NodeJS and all tools related to this stack. Our backend is powered by Golang backed with a Postgres database. We're currently moving our backend to a service-oriented architecture (microservices). Our main infrastructure is in Google Cloud Platform. We've been using React, GraphQL and Golang in production environments since the early days. Since a few years we've started using Kubernetes and nowadays all our new services run in the cluster.

What we are looking for in a Senior Engineer:

  • A product-oriented person: you love developing products that help people
  • You take responsibility for the quality of your work, you like test automation and you are interested in TDD best practices
  • You're a real team player. You understand your colleagues may have different opinions and you consider them to make our product better.
  • Someone who is pragmatic
  • Ability to find a clean and simple solution that could be easily adapted and scaled as the business evolves
  • Leadership capabilities
  • Interest in new technologies
  • You understand that maintainable code is simple code that makes intentions explicit

Experience needed:

  • Excellent skills in one of Javascript, Golang, C++ or any other of the main languages
  • An educational degree in the field of Computer Science or similar is preferable, although passionate career changers are also welcome
  • Experience with online marketplaces, service providers and/or API development
  • Solid understanding of web user interface design and web development
  • Have 10 years of experience in web development. If you think you can do the job with fewer years experience, don't hesitate to apply as well.
  • Basic understanding of how to prepare a good burger (our team lead even makes his own buns)
