Full Stack Software Engineer at Sector Labs Cluj
Cluj-Napoca
Cluj-Napoca, Cluj County, Romania

Sector Labs is based in Cluj-Napoca and was founded in 2016 as part of EMPG. With a presence in 18 countries and combined traffic of more than 200m sessions per month, EMPG owns and operates property verticals and classifieds platforms in emerging markets.

Soon after we were founded we managed to build some of the fastest classified portals in the world (e. g. bayut.com). Working along with engineering teams in Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Philippines, and Spain we make it our mission to enable and optimize businesses through technology driven by a healthy combination of pragmatism and ambition.

Use your great coding skills to build cool features and improve our high traffic web sites. In the past couple of months, we've been working hard on making one of the fastest
- estate portals in the world (just to give you a hint about the work that we do). Our environment is low on processes and meetings with a strong emphasis on best practices and code quality. We have loosely defined teams of people who put a high value on personal autonomy. If this sounds tempting to you and you think you are a good fit, we would love to hear from you!

Technology

We don't really believe the technology is that important as a recruiting filter so it is not relevant what you already know as long as you are a good programmer in any programming language. You will have ample time to ramp up just fine. But. We know you want to know so here is the stack:

• Python, Django, React, Redux, Express
• Other buzzwords: Universal Web Apps, Machine Learning, Heroku, AWS, Algolia

Requirements

We're looking for people who enjoy programming, are good at it and are not caught up in ideological wars about technology. Someone who is pragmatic enough to realize that life is too short not to use the right tool for the job.

At the moment we're using a mix of Python and Javascript. But tomorrow? Who knows?

If you want to join us, be ready to learn about building fast and scalable websites that never go down (ok, that don't go down without a serious reason that is out of our hands) and then actually do it.

Benefits

• Salary €2500-€3500*
• Medical subscription (top tier at Regina Maria)
• 26 paid vacation days
• Other small perks some more regular and predictable than others

Salaries are specified in net amounts (after taxes) paid according to a signed Individual Labour Contract as per the Romanian Labour Code (adica cu carte de munca)

What is it like to work for us?

Here are some ideas we have that might help you figure that out:

• Offering the best and expecting to get the same in return: you choose your hardware to work on, we buy
  -
  -
  - line chairs and standing desks; once the pandemic is over, you'll enjoy working from a great office with quiet working spaces and nice recreation areas
• Autonomy: you will choose the tools you want to use and get to make all the technical decisions as long as they make sense (that's for the Chief Architect to decide)
• Mastery: we will encourage and support you to learn as long as it takes so you can feel proud about your work (the nice side effect of this is having awesome products built by you)
• Low on processes: we rely a lot on personal decisions instead of guiding behavior through processes. No mandatory regular meetings. No standups.
