Senior Backend Software Engineer

Imagine a group of fascinating people… who spend time at work creating the product they absolutely love. Imagine empowered tech freaks for whom the team equals comrades. Imagine tremendous professionals and geeks who like, support, and respect each other. Now, imagine they all code like pros and have quite a lot of fun with it!

See yourself in that picture? Well, hello there! We’re Displate, the XXI-century metal posters makers. Displate.com is home to artworks from thousands of independent artists and the biggest brands on this planet, like Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Blizzard, NASA, Iron Maiden, CyberPunk, The Witcher… you name it.

The team you're thinking of now is Displate Engineering. We're hungry for talents like you!

"OK, so what's in it for me?"

• A small team of 40+ people divided into cross-functional squads that make the Displate.com web app fly and look stunning as our customers deserve it (optimizing page performance and implementing SEO-driven solutions included)
• We are always looking for improvements in our stack - not long ago we switched to react-query to manage our async data, introduced styled-components, and more (yup, there are no orders here, we all decide what’s best for us)
• Software Craftsmanship and Clean Code are not just buzzwords here - we strive for top-notch quality in everything we do - as you’ll find out during our Code Reviews, we’re rather demanding ;) We aim to test as much as possible, in a variety of different ways - we started not long ago, so there’s a lot of catching up to do!
• We approach Agile sensibly - SCRUM, incremental development, and contact with our stakeholders without all the “hocus-pocus” parts
• Step into a guild and feel at home! We love to share ideas and learn some good Frontend, Backend, QA, Agile within our small communities
• Flextime, open office policy, no dress code - come to the office, we have cookies, Displates hanging all over the place, nice people, and a convenient space to work (we love it and so will you!) No need to dress up, most of us are "team hoodies". Or else, stay at home - your choice.
