At MeetingPackage, our vision is to make meeting rooms and event spaces accessible to everyone. We automate the current manual booking process to make it faster, more efficient and delightful. We're now looking for an experienced backend developer to join our small team to develop new features, improve existing functionality and ensure scalability as we grow.

Our product suite consists of three products. In addition, we've developed our Open MeetingPackage API (OMPA) to allow marketplaces, travel agencies or other providers to fetch availability, content and pricing from our venue partners.

And here you come in. As a backend developer, you help improve and build our product suite and API to be reliable and scalable. You're at home designing robust RESTful APIs and writing efficient and tested server-side JavaScript. You might even get occasional goosebumps when you've built something beautiful and efficient. Well, call us freaks, but we do!

Talking about the team, we're a small, diverse and friendly team of 20+ professionals and nine nationalities spread across the globe. You'll find our developers, designers, marketers, managers and salespeople working seamlessly and having fun together. We spend time together and organise offsite events at least once a year.

This position is for full-time employment.

If this starts to sound like your cup of tea, keep on reading.

Requirements:

As a backend developer, you will…

• Work with our product suite. You take responsibility for developing new features and enhancing existing core functionalities.

• Plan and develop the product roadmap with the team. You bring ideas and expertise to the table.

• Ensure service scalability and reliability. You write effective code and are at home with database design.

• Own your work. As a small team, we are all responsible for the success of our company.

You'll fit this position if…

• You are proficient in modern Node.js and PHP. We plan to convert our backend to Node.js, but in the meantime, we work with PHP, too.

• You have experience with relational and non-relational databases. We have used MongoDB, PostgreSQL and MySQL.

• You enjoy working with cloud platforms. We use AWS, but experience with any platform is considered a plus.

• You are comfortable building RESTful APIs. We bet you can't wait to contribute to our OMPA (Open MeetingPackage API)!

• You have some experience with at least one JavaScript framework. We use React on the frontend with some bits and pieces on Vue. Don't worry, though: We have dedicated developers for the frontend.

• You write tests for everything you build. We need to make sure that everything we ship works seamlessly.

• You know at least the basic DevOps tooling. Tools and principles such as CI, CD, Git, Docker, Vagrant, Travis and AWS CodeDeploy / CodePipeline probably ring a bell to you.

• You want to be proud of your work.

Benefits:

• Exciting and challenging work with friendly co-workers

• An opportunity to jump to a high-growth startup

• Competitive salary with a possibility of stock options

• Gear of your choice (with a Mac / Win / Linux laptop)

• A standing desk for your home office to work remotely

• One hour a week to do sports during the workday

• Healthcare insurance

• Regular team and offsite events
