3 weeks ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Human Factor ApS Full time

Famly is looking for a Senior Scala Backend Engineer to build awesome GraphQL and REST APIs to enable their platform to help the thousands of daycares that use Famly.

At Co.& Pagaard, we are really excited to facilitate the search for the newest team members of Famly, and we really encourage you to explore this job opportunity to see if you could be the next enthusiastic engineer at Famly.

Famly are currently looking for people in the following locations:

Copenhagen, Denmark
Berlin, Germany
UK (Remote)
Lisbon, Portugal

If you are not located in any of these areas, we still encourage you to apply. We remain open to exceptional candidates and even offer assistance with relocation if desired.
Do you wonder who Famly are...?

Well, it all began when their co-founder Henrik's daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn't believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. The paper 'parent' books they exchanged once a month just weren't cutting it. Together with his friend, the co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.

Today, the 140 people building Famly talk about trying to do two things for their 6,500 nurseries:

Giving children the best possible start to life.
Championing the vital work that goes into making that happen.

Through their software, they bring hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child's daily experiences and offer financial, pedagogical, and planning tools to over 34,000 childcare professionals, ultimately saving them time and reducing administrative stress.
Ultimately, that gives both parents and professionals more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter. You're hereby invited to coma and help Famly make that happen.
What you'll be doing:

As part of the Finance & Payments crew, you will collaborate with fellow Frontenders, Backenders, a Designer, a Product Manager, and an Engineering Manager. Your role will involve planning future developments, designing and implementing new features, and contributing to the evolution of Famlys technology stack to simplify their codebase.

Requirements:

You'll thrive in this role if you can:

Build solid APIs in GraphQL and REST (Famly primarily use Scala with their GraphQL API but also maintain a PHP REST API)
Use functional programming (they use cats, cats-effect, fs2, refined, and slick)
Model complex data structures and express them in a relational way (Famly use MySQL)
Bring crystal clarity to complex and ambiguous ideas and projects.
Communicate feedback, expectations, and information in clear and kind ways, both written and spoken (Family consists of more than 40 different nationalities, and the company language is English)
Learn super-fast, be open-minded and ready to adapt the technology, teams and ways-of-working as Famly scales in brave new directions.
Make your teammates shine by supporting each other to learn and grow.
Family are looking for senior people, and they appreciate that everyone brings something unique, so even if you don't tick every box, please still apply.

You'll love working here because Family offers:
Comprehensive benefits package including pension, health insurance, and maternity/paternity leave.
A clear career development framework and coaching to make sure your're growing.
A DKK personal development budget, and a "We'll buy you any book you want" policy.
We're all about hiring a diverse array of clever people - who are kind and good humans too. It means Famly is full of top thinkers and generous teammates waiting to help you shine.
A value of 'make your colleagues shine' is all about breaking down silos, celebrating one another, and staying connected across departments, offices, and oceans.
We like to give a lot of ownership both in terms of responsibility and freedom to try new, challenging tasks.
State-of-the-art work equipment and flexible working arrangements.
A lot of flexibility for you to work in the way (and place) that suits you best, while making sure we maintain a strong in-office connection.
Regular social activities and events fostering team cohesion and connection.

If you join from outside Copenhagen:

We're currently around 140 people, and around 30 in Engineering. We started as a Copenhagen office-based company, but as we are scaling, we're heading on our journey towards a fully hybrid way of working in Engineering.

1 week of onboarding to meet all your new colleagues (we will of course fly you in and get a hotel in wonderful Copenhagen for you)
2 tech meetups on-site every year (we will again fly you in and ensure everything is taken care of)

If you're in the Copenhagen HQ, we also have:
Daily buffet and a well-stocked drinks fridge (did someone say snack corner?)
Plenty of social activities... game nights, go climbing with colleagues, Friday bars, big quarterly social events, team fun with dinners out, office BBQs, and more

The interview process is:
An intro video chat with our People Partner
Logical test
Take home technical assignment with a follow-up chat
Personal interview

We're looking to fill the position as soon as possible, so get your application in today by sending us:
Your CV
A cover letter to tell us what you can bring to the role, and what speaks to you about Famly.

Looking forward to hearing from you
