About the role

A backend engineer at Peoplebox is a one who loves to look for patterns and extremely resourceful.

We also value self-drivenness. Have you done something that you did out of what was asked for you to be done? Did you do a hobby project? Did you host it somewhere? Did you try to get some users to it? Did you do something at work that was not really part of the sprint but it added value?

• Delivery: We really value timely delivery. Speed is what makes us different. You should be ready to move fast and release.
