Senior Software Engineer

JOIN US IN OUR MISSION OF MAKING REFURBISHED MAINSTREAM
Swappie is the no1 online destination for buying and selling refurbished smartphones in Europe. Since launching in 2016, we have grown to more than 1 100 talent and €100M annual revenue. And this is just the beginning! We empower our customers in 15 countries to choose environmentally friendly and affordable ways to upgrade their smartphones. Buy smart, not new; that's how we change consumer behavior in Europe and soon worldwide. 

Our values are endless optimism, highest standards, customer focus, and connect. They guide us in the decisions and actions we take every day. Global sustainability and startup awards recognize our growing model and aspiration in solving critical sustainability issues, including Growth Builder of the Year 2020, the FinnishInnovation Fund's award for contribution to the circular economy, and appearing on Wired's list of hottest startups in Helsinki.

Sounds like the place for you? If yes, you are invited to take a once-in-a-lifetime learning and development opportunity in a unique growth setting. You will have the support of a highly talented and committed diverse team of 60+ nationalities. We welcome you to join us in our meaningful mission of making refurbished electronics mainstream. 

ABOUT THE ROLE
Our product development organization has over 60 talented professionals. We're continuing our strong growth and expanding to more countries in Europe during this year. That's why we are also strengthening our tech teams, and looking for the best engineers to join. At the moment we're especially looking for senior developer stars but we are in continuous search of mid-level experienced professionals as well. As a Software Engineer at Swappie, you will be part of one of our cross-functional product development teams each dedicated to one business area. You will collaborate actively with other engineers, Product Managers, Designers, Analysts and other stakeholders. Some potential projects you’ll tackle include optimizing the performance of our ecommerce website and improving the experience for business customers, extending our systems to support the expansion of our operations and fulfilment network, integrating an order and financial management system to our existing applications, or building a new Buy-back/Trade-in solution used by partners that will allow us to develop our devices supply. The specific team and work depend on your skills and interests. You will personally make an impact on the success of our company and help us realise our mission of bringing refurbished mobile phones to the masses. 

Ideally you understand the entire web programming stack and lifecycle from design to operating in production at some level, but your core skills and interests may also be focused more either on the frontend or backend.  

We work with Typescript, Node.js, React, Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes and Google Cloud, but we’re also open if you bring something new to the table or are eager to learn! 

IN THIS ROLE YOU GET A CHANCE TO

• Build robust ecommerce solutions that scale, from inbound device shipments to credit card processing integrations
• Collaborate with diverse stakeholders, from our in-house refurbishment team to third-party payment providers, for example
• Change the status quo for inventory management and other warehouse-related management projects, including introducing automation and efficiency improvements that positively impact the business and our teams
• Build a strong engineering culture and bring scalable ways of working

WE WOULD BE EXCITED TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU

• Have a track record in software engineering 
• Are comfortable working within a quickly growing team, and are excited about knowledge sharing and collaboration with non-technical stakeholders
• Have experience with fast-moving projects and initiatives, remaining flexible while also pushing features and updates to deployment with ease
• Love building user-friendly projects informed by business intelligence
• Are excited about testing, and would love to play a key role in driving improvements to our testing and deployment infrastructure
• Previous experience from ecommerce companies is a definite plus! 

A COUPLE OF GOOD REASONS YOU MIGHT ENJOY WORKING WITH US 

• Relocation to Finland, Helsinki. We established a fast and smooth relocation process for you and your family. You get a chance to live in a country with a top-ranking society in terms of freedom and equality, great education system; a balance for work, family and friends. What is more, according to the World Happiness Report, Finland is the happiest place in the world.
• Become a part of our global team: We are a diverse group of skilled, ambitious, fun, kind, laid-back, and professional people from more than 50 nationalities—our neat offices are located in Helsinki, Amsterdam, and Tallinn. And as you have probably guessed, our working language is English.
• Make a difference: By refurbishing smartphones to the highest standards, we reduce environmental waste, empower our customers to make more sustainable choices, and build a better tomorrow. Being part of the solution, not part of the pollution, thrives us every day.
• Be a part of our culture of trust: As we only have resourceful and insightful grownups working with us, we have plenty of freedom and responsibility that we use in the best interest of Swappie. We share information, learnings, insights, plans and achievements as we know that we are all in this together.
• Learn and grow like never before: We offer a wide range of development and growth opportunities and encourage our people to seek new ways to improve constantly.
• Be yourself: We are working hard to make our Diversity & Inclusion Manifesto a reality in everything we do: we create a diverse and inclusive workplace where we have equal opportunities to grow and feel safe. We respect varied backgrounds, experiences, races, ethnicities, religions, genders, gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.
• Enjoy organized working models: We offer the possibility to work remotely from abroad for one month per year, with certain restrictions regarding role and country.
• Furthermore, you get an attractive salary and a good option package, nice perks and benefits, and much more! If you need to relocate, we are there to empower you. No matter where you are moving from, we will support you to make every step of the process as easy as possible for you and your loved ones.
