Your mission
What will you do as a Software Development Engineer?
We are looking for an ambitious Software Development Engineer, with a particular focus on Frontend technologies, but eager to understand the full picture, ask the whys behind every line of code, and learn beyond their current skills.
This person will work primarily with the supply-side engineering team (a.k.a. Taco Squad), improving and developing the landlord experience. Maintaining a network of happy and engaged landlords is essential to improve the overall rental experience, also that of the renters.
Particularly, we are building a Landlord Panel in which anybody can publish their properties to rent and manage their bookings with full visibility and control. It is built primarily using React Node and GraphQL, consuming data from a cloud of microservices built in PHP + MongoDB/MySQL. Here you will be in charge of building enlightening experiences for landlords throughout our web and app applications interfaces, being the main reference for frontend development in the team.
We follow a completely data-driven approach, using quantified hypotheses for our prioritization and clearly defined metrics for measuring success (with A/B experiments when possible). So, you will also stay very close to the customer data daily, using tools like Amplitude, Metabase, Big Query, or Google Analytics. In the product team, we constantly complement this data with qualitative customer insights, speaking directly with our landlords in interviews, surveys, or shadowing agents. You will have full access to all these channels because we truly believe that the closer we (as engineers) are to our customers, the better products we can build for them.
In 1 month…
You will have completed your onboarding alongside your assigned buddy. This includes meeting your team, your manager, and your career plan, discovering all the corners of the Spotahome product, getting used to our most common tools and your development environment, and controlling the internal slang (you will know what the BN, BI, BL, and BR key metrics are, or which are our Animal Badges). At this point, you will have several pieces of code released in production and generating value already.
You will have become one fully-fledged Spotter, ready to transform the renting experience forever!
In 3 months...
You will get used to our agile development methodology, all our success metrics, our prioritization framework, and our data analysis tools. You will be able to lead some initiatives inside your team, define their acceptance criteria, and even help with their designs and copies prior to their implementation.
In 6 months...
At this point you will be able to have a transversal impact in our central forums (such as the Frontend Core group), improving the architecture of the platform besides contributing to it. You will also have had the chance to grow already in your career plan, using your training budget or enlarging your scope of influence in the company.
