**what.** is a consultancy that supports its clients with their web presence, the creation of digital products, and their growth. For our clients, we conceptualize and build digital products and enterprise websites.

At what. we take a quality-focused but pragmatic approach to building software. The lean methodology is a crucial driver in how we do things all around the company, and this evidence-based approach focused on iterations and learning, applies both to the things we build as well as how we build them.

As a company, we want to grow together with our clients and work with them long-term, which is why we are quality-minded and results-focused.

## Tasks

Open Source software is a foundational cornerstone of what we do at what. As a founding member of the Django CMS association, we are actively giving back and want to move the ecosystem forward.

**If you share our passion, then this job offer is for you.**

## Requirements

We are looking to strengthen our team with an experienced full-stack developer who will extend our team with their skill and drive. Someone who truly cares about the products they build: They work well, are maintainable and can be extended.

You have 4+ years of experience as a full-stack developer and can take a project from start to finish. You juggle successfully between the Django (CMS) based backend and the Javascript (React or Vue) frontend. You work well with designers, project managers, and other developers to create outstanding results.

A few things about the role that are good to know:

*   We use **Django & Django CMS** for the sites and apps we build. Experience in both is a big plus.
*   On the frontend, you are either fluent in **React, Vue, or both**. We have the odd Angular application lying around as well, but we don’t use it for new projects.
*   We are a company **focused on user experience**. The way things look and how they are for the user to use is essential to us, and it should be important to you.
*   You should have a **solid understanding of Docker**
*   We are a **remote-first company**, and experience working in a virtual/remote team is a big advantage.
*   **Excellent spoken and written English** is a requirement.

## Benefits

**How it is to work with us / your benefits:**  

At **what.** we believe that work should be fun and something you want to do and not something you have to do. We help that along with the following:

*   Excellent office location in Seefeld in Zürich, if you work in Switzerland.
*   You take control of your availability - Need to take care of something in the morning and want to catch up later? No problem. We are results-oriented, we don’t micromanage.
*   Flat hierarchy - Get decisions fast when you need them.
*   You have a large amount of responsibility in your department. Do you want to change something? See possibilities to improve how we do things or what we do? The only thing needed is to speak up and we will discuss.
*   Multicultural and multidisciplinary team with a focus on improving and learning. We want you to learn and grow which is why you will have access to individual training and guidance.
*   If you work remotely, the opportunity to visit the team in Switzerland - we cover the costs
*   Fair compensation, with the possibility of joining our profit participation scheme
*   Opportunities to visit clients on-site in Switzerland
*   Weekly remote pilates classes for all

**Information for recruitment agencies:** for this position, we only accept direct applications from candidates and will not consider applications from agencies.

If this sounds interesting and you would like to join our team, please send us a **short 2-3 minute video** (we find Loom or YouTube work best), where you briefly introduce yourself and tell us an anecdote about how you made one of the projects you worked on better. Please also include a code snippet you wrote and are proud of.

**_Please note that only applications with a cover note and an intro video will be considered._**
