Senior Full Stack 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.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will work on our real estate portals built as SPA’s with React, Node, and Django as well as on our
- facing tools. These are complex systems with many moving parts and drastic performance requirements. You will have to write new code and understand legacy systems, design new parts, and keep an eye on performance bottlenecks. A high degree of autonomy is offered and we expect you will use it to make decisions and shape the future of our software stack.

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

While knowing our stack is definitely an advantage, it is not by any means a disqualifying factor:

• Python 3, Django, React, Redux, Node, Express
• Other technologies and services: Universal Web Apps, Machine Learning, Celery, Rabbit
  MQ, Redis, Heroku, AWS, Algolia, CDN’s

Requirements

This role is for somebody who has been through several releases and products built from the grtound up. We expect some degree of specialisation in technology but if that does not align with the one we’re using at the moment we don’t mind.

• University Degree in CS, CE, or closely related
• At least 5 years of experience writing code professionally
• A good understanding of all common data structures
• Ability to write complex algorithms
• Ability to design software systems with multiple parts across multiple technologies
• A good understanding of performance optimisation techniques

Benefits

• Salary €3500-€4500*
• 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.
