AURUM is a very successful growth-stage franchising startup. At AURUM we created the next generation high intensity strength training. Our mission is to empower people to get the strength to enjoy their life. Joining our team will give you the opportunity to be at the edge of innovation and disrupt the fitness industry.

The vertical integration of our own training hardware and software platform as a product to be distributed to hundreds of locations, the cloud based training dashboards, the host of data for data-driven applications and features of gamification to be implemented make this job especially rewarding. We own the full stack - from the physical machine to the customer app and everything in between. We are a tech company but still provide a service that improves the everyday health and life of our customers and ourselves.

**What are we looking for?**

We search for an on-site developer (Zürich/Switzerland) or a remote developer (with a preference for on-site). Women more than welcome as we know that diverse cultures and gender make a team better.

Are you an experienced backend developer that wants to take responsibility in owning our core backend - to extend and improve it and create the foundation for our scalable business. Are you creative, passionate and love to find elegant solutions for problems? Do you care about writing clean code and quality software? Do you feel comfortable in building cloud-based and scalable architectures within the AWS eco-system? Do you like to communicate, improve and learn but also coach and teach? Do you like to laugh a lot? Are you self-organised and trying to get rid of useless meetings? Do you like to take ownership and shape a product as well as the underlying architecture?
