Famly: Scala Backend Engineer

Headquarters: Famly

• Copenhagen, Denmark
• Berlin, Germany
• Leicester or London, UK 
• Lisbon, Portugal

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

• Working in one of our five crews with other frontenders, backenders, designers and product people.
• 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.

• Build solid APIs in GraphQL and REST (we primarily use Scala with our GraphQL API and 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’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.
• We like to give a lot of ownership both in terms of responsibility and freedom to try new things. We’ll get you up and running and collaborate along the way, of course.
• Top-notch work equipment (including noise-cancelling headphones for those focus periods!).
• We offer equitable perks, regardless if you work at Copenhagen HQ or remotely (that means if your Copenhagen teammates get dinner, we’ll buy you dinner in your home town too!).
• A big focus on people support with personal and career development, including monthly training sessions in a wide variety of topics.
• A yearly training and conference budget of 10,000 DKK

• 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)

• 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! We hope to bring all of it to the Lisbon office as well.
