Position: Backend JavaScript Engineer for Daxx (Urbantz)
Company: DAXX
Category: Node.js
Experience required: 3y
English level: upper

Daxx is looking for a Node.js Engineer to join our strong development team.

**Project Description:**
Urbantz operates on one of the most growing markets, offering a SaaS solution for retail, logistics, and e-commerce – businesses that tremendously accelerated in 2020. They have been growing fast for the last 5 years – recently Deloitte has listed them among the top 3 fastest growing start-ups in Belgium.

Urbantz’s culture is built on experimentation, constant development, flexibility, and encouragement of initiatives in an international, English speaking work environment. Their mission is to make last-mile logistics more sustainable for retailers and transport operators by improving their operational efficiency. They bring value to the retail and logistics sector by providing a better client service and help them save on deliveries.

They use NodeJS for the backend and AngularJS on the front-end. Their unit-tests use Jest, and our end-to-end tests use Protractor. They store data using MongoDB. Their code is stored in GitLab, and they make use of its CI/CD capabilities to deploy easily to AWS and Azure.

The containerization & orchestration uses Docker + Kubernetes. They work with short agile development cycles, each consisting of 3 weeks of roadmap work and 1 week of cool-down in which the team can focus on technical challenges, get rid of some technical debt or explore new ideas.

**Responsibilities:**
- You will help build a modern, highly complex, multi-service application that leads to the delivery of millions of packages per year to clients like you.
- As a software engineer you’ll be part of one of the stream-aligned teams where you’ll help the product manager come up with the best solution to the challenges our customers are facing.
- Once agreed upon, you’ll of course start implementing the solution.
- The position is remote but we have an office in the heart of Brussels where you are more than welcome!

**Requirements:**
- You are positive minded and like to find ways to constantly improve in what you do.
- You can work alone but really shine when you work together. Pair programming, mob programming, brainstorming… you have no issue expressing your ideas, thoughts, comments…
- Your English is quite fluent
- You value quality of work. You know that any shortcut you take today will be a debt to pay in the future.
- You consider testing part of the job, not an afterthought.
- You know how to build a scalable, maintainable application.
- You have at least a few years relevant experience, preferably in a product company and in a stack similar to ours*
- You stay abreast of developments and best practices within the technologies we use.
* Years of experience means nothing, we know. But right now we really need some people with some experience to help us go fast and coach team members.

**Will be a plus:**
- Bonus points if you already have affinity with logistic sector. No, ordering things online doesn’t count.

**Daxx offers:**
- Direct cooperation with the customer
- Dedicated HR / Client Manager
- Regular performance reviews
- Competitive salary, medical insurance, 20 working vacation days
- Regular corporate events, team buildings, etc.
