Job Purpose and Overview

With over 200 applications available in Atlassian, Monday, and Microsoft marketplaces, Appfire has some unique challenges related to scale. Our customers - rightfully - expect our applications to be always available, performing well, secure, as well as being frequently updated with new features. On the other hand, developers in Appfire don't want to repeat the same actions multiple times. They want technology that allows them to focus on solving customers' problems, with easy-to-use infrastructure, services, and libraries for solving their common problems, and tooling offering them best-in-class developer experience.

In Appfire we intend to build (yes, code) solutions to these problems. Excited about solving problems at scale? Join us and you may work on one of the following:

  • Infrastructure for 200+ applications
  • Services solving common problems of 50 teams
  • Tools helping with developer experiences, such as debuggers, emulators, and testing automation

What You Will Do

  • Join a self-organizing, cross-functional product team and cooperate closely with other Software Engineers, UX designers, Product Managers, Team Leaders, and other specialists like Product marketers or Support Engineers.
  • Follow the best engineering practices: automated testing, code reviews, pair programming, and YBIYRI (you built it you run it).
  • Share your thoughts openly and honestly on what would be the best for the customers and the business: you will be part of discussions about the future of our products and Appfire.
  • Decide freely about your day and assignments - we do not micromanage people and we do care about work & life balance.
  • Be the change you seek - if you see that something can be improved, suggest how and make it happen (alone or by engaging your colleagues).

What We Would Like to See

  • Proven record (3+ years) of delivery of multiple complex software development projects.
  • Hands-on experience with back-end web technologies considering Java, (Python nice to have), frameworks: Spring, SpringBoot. You do not have to be a master in each, but you should be comfortable learning and working with any of them.
  • Willingness to learn and use multiple technologies. Whereas we appreciate breadth, we value depth even more!
  • Truly engineering approach to solving problems. Good theoretical foundations of computer science (e.g. algorithms and computational complexity, OOP) are super practical in the ever-changing landscape of technologies.
  • Nice to have an understanding of modern Cloud architectures, and practical experience implementing them in either AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Architectural understanding of web applications, including performance, quality, and security aspects.
  • Command of English at level B2 or higher.

What We Offer

  • Every Appfire employee is eligible for company equity
  • 25 paid days off, regardless of years of experience
  • Private healthcare
  • Sofia public transport card
  • Multisport card
  • Development opportunities via our Appfire University
