København, Denmark Famly Denmark Full time

At Famly, we’re looking for a Senior Scala Backend Engineer to build awesome GraphQL and REST APIs to enable our platform to help the thousands of daycares that use Famly.

We expect you to have at least 3-4 years of relevant work experience within Scala/Functional programming.

We are looking for people to join us at our Copenhagen headquarters, located in Købmagergade in the centre of the city.

What you'll be doing:
  • Working in one of our crews with other Frontenders, Backenders, a Designer, a Product manager and an Engineering manager.

  • You will play a key role in planning what’s next, designing, developing and rolling out cool new features and changes.

  • You’ll team up with the Backend Chapter to shape the future of our tech stack, tooling and reducing complexity across our code.

You’ll thrive in this role if you can:
  • Build solid APIs in GraphQL and REST (we primarily use Scala with our GraphQL API but also maintain a PHP REST API)

  • Use functional programming (we use cats, cats-effect, fs2, refined, and slick)

  • Model complex data structures and express them in a relational way (we 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 (we’re over 40 different nationalities, and our company language is English)

  • Learn super fast, be open-minded and ready to adapt our 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.

We appreciate that everyone brings something unique, so even if you don’t tick every box, please still apply.

You’ll love working here because:
  • We offer pension, health insurance, and maternity/paternity leave.

  • You get a clear career framework and coaching to make sure you’re growing, a 10,000 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.

  • 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.

  • Top-notch work equipment.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  1. An intro video chat with our People Partner

  2. Logical test

  3. Take home technical assignment with a follow-up chat

  4. 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.

Famly is committed to creating a more diverse, equal, and inclusive workforce, building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. It is a fundamental policy at Famly not to discriminate on any basis or characteristics and celebrate diversity. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to apply.
