This is how we do 😎

In short, we’re a tight group of strategists, designers, and engineers. Our main goal is building whatever is necessary to make our clients’ businesses grow and making the lives of their customers a little easier. And we’re quick about it, too.

Put more concretely, we’ve got several agile product teams working directly with clients to continuously shape and build the digital product that’s perfect for their needs. Go to market ASAP, then start iterating for maximum impact. This is why being fast doesn't imply you're sacrificing quality, or creating a stressful environment.‍

The keyword here is “impact”. Both for our clients, and for the people working on all these cool projects. We do this by quite literally focusing on creating focus. Clear outcomes each week, one project at a time, no distractions.

Beyond that, expect a dynamic environment filled with young and ambitious people, as well as lots of project variety and room for R&D and personal growth. Also, no timesheets. We believe everyone has their own rhythm, and expectations are managed accordingly.

Spilling the beans 📢

Right now, we’re looking for a full-stack engineer with 5-6 years of experience to strengthen one of our product teams. You're a developer who has already stumbled onto challenges where you had to create new solutions from scratch out of your comfort zone. Your experience, skills and passion will come to life at Bothrs.

• You’ve got full responsibility over the front and back end. The product designer(s) and PM on your team will make sure you have everything you need at all times.
• You’ll be working directly with clients, sharing your perspective, challenging their ideas, and showing your work every Friday during a weekly demo session.
• Being a key player in the team, you love giving and receiving honest feedback, as well as collaborating with and coaching other developers. Knowledge sharing helps everyone; this is not some kind of competition.
• Lastly, growth. Together with the rest of your team you’ll investigate opportunities in learning, reusability, documentation, boilerplates, and personal growth during dedicated R&D weeks.

‍

You know how to kickstart a new product, with the right tools. This includes:

• Having a healthy love-hate relationship with Typescript.
• Being comfortable with front-end things like React Hooks, Styled Components and Tailwind, just to name a few.
• Choosing between GraphQL or REST depending on the situation.
• Working with MongoDB or MySQL to build the right data-driven solutions.
• Building robust integration tests to make sure we got our bases covered.
• Constantly staying up to date with developments in web applications and programming languages

‍

Our stack 👌

We try to stay on top of our game, and won't hold back to try out the latest tools and technologies. Hence the importance of being able to learn on the job. Anyway, we build a lot front end applications, as well as back-end APIs using a myriad of tools and frameworks. Don't be alarmed if you're not fluent in all of these (yet!) though, that's perfectly fine.

The age of AI 🤖

At Bothrs, we're not just keeping up with the latest in tech; we're racing ahead. We're looking for someone with a healthy curiosity about Generative AI.

Do vector embeddings, vector databases like Pinecone and Weaviate, Langchain, or Chainlink ring a bell? Great! We're eager to explore how these cutting-edge technologies can revolutionize our approach to digital product development.

Your enthusiasm for these fields will be a huge plus, as we believe they hold the key to unlocking even more personalized and efficient solutions for our clients. Staying ahead of the curve and constantly learning is part of our DNA.

If you're excited about being at the forefront of AI and its practical applications in web development, you'll fit right in!

Bringing it home 🚀

Believe us when we say our team of heroes means the world to us. Simply put, we care about three things: personal growth, having high impact, and getting paid. It’s hard to get a company to thrive if the people in it can’t grow along with it. And you can’t force personal growth either; so where does the motivation to learn and grow come from? That’s right, it’s knowing your efforts are making a difference. Every day, we want you to leave the office with a sense of accomplishment. Oh yeah, and a nice paycheck also helps.
