<img src="https://www.relexsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/all-relex-2018.jpg" alt="" width="100%" height="">   We are looking for a full-time Senior Full Stack/Backend Developer to join our RELEX family in our Helsinki office. You will use your skills and experience to build RELEX Work Engineering, one of the three main applications within RELEX.  RELEX Work Engineering is a workforce optimization service that helps our customers optimize their employees' work shifts based on expected demand, skill profile and other parameters. We have organized the RELEX Work to cross-functional teams around domains. In this role you would become part of the Employee Experience team which runs the services that the employees of our customers use. As a team we aim to shine together, without hierarchy or bureaucracy. This is a great time to join us: you’ll get to have a big impact on how we grow and how we do things.  The team is currently responsible for four microservices: a mobile optimized web application, a React Native app (iOS), a web app ran in mounted tablets and a service for managing push notifications backed by a PostgreSQL database. All services use TypeScript as the main language: React in the frontends and Node.js in the backends (BFF). These services also interact with other services over JSON API’s, most notably with the main backend service built with Elixir/Phoenix and PostgreSQL.  We are also planning on creating two new backends (including databases) soon. You would be participating in the planning and implementation of these new backend services.  Depending on your interests and skills the position can be more backend focused, or also involve frontend development. The team is cross functional and owns the service fully (backend and frontend), so full stack skills and/or interests are highly valued.  What you’ll be doing:  <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Writing code and automated tests </li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Doing code reviews, writing documentation, refactoring, bug fixes, improving code quality </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Participating in planning new features and solutions to identified issues </li> <li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Participating in agile team practices and the development of them.
