COPENHAGEN, DENMARK EUROPE - SENIOR BACKEND ENGINEER

Falcon Social is a Software-as-a-Service provider in the Social Media Management space. We provide a unified approach for marketers, customer service specialists and hr personnel of big international brands to manage their social media presence. That means plenty of challenging engineering tasks, complex UIs to simplify and data, loads of data.

We are looking for senior members for our engineering team. You are joining an ambitious team of experts who keep pushing the limit in product delivery and experiment furiously while striving for technical excellence.

We are agile, organized ourselves into cross-functional, autonomous teams, focusing on one product with a clear mission. We intend to be flat, with everyone equal and with each member's role respected. Day-to-day you will work together with people of different trades: frontend, backend engineers, ui/ux designers, cloud operation engineers, and product owners.

We are a maturing startup with an engineering headcount of 20. We are not small anymore, and still growing rapidly. Working at a startup is the most rewarding choice that one can make, but it requires a certain personality as well. That being said, we value open people who take initiative more than lone rockstars.

Falcon Social’s frontend is a single page web application built with AngularJs, Bower, Grunt, D3.js
on top of a REST flavored HTTP+JSON api served by a lightweight Java8 backend running on DropWizard, PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, AWS, Apache Spark and Python.
