BE Typescript developer

Ventrata is looking for a Typescript Developer to join our team of kickass developers who are changing the way tours and tickets are sold across the planet. This is an amazing opportunity to join a rapidly growing company that is expected to expand significantly post-pandemic. We do have a distributed/remote team, but we do have a shared office space available in Brno and Lisbon, therefore we would prefer candidates in those locations.

The ideal candidate will be a wizard with Typescript with experience of backend engineering. You will be a critical thinker with a high attention to detail. You will need to keep up with the fast pace of development and thrive in a startup environment. Do you have previous experience with a ticketing system? Even better …

We do have one available project:

OCTO CLOUD - Backend

(3rd-party and OTA integrations and our cloud application which should be a bridge between all OTAs and API providers)

The world of ticketing requires effective, live and fast connectivity to sell and manage sales through a wide range of channels in every corner of the planet. You will be working with all of the key stakeholders to assess the requirements of each connection from API endpoints to data structure and then design and implement the solution to ensure a seamless customer experience

Feel free to close this job description if you don’t have a positive attitude towards unit testing.

Responsibilities and Duties

• You have experience with writing tests
• You have experience with PostgreSQL
• Critical thinker and problem-solving skills
• Advantage: experience with docker

Benefits

• We are fairly informal about working hours. We want to make sure you like your job and wanna go an extra mile for us.

• Unlimited paid holiday days.
• Start-up working environment.
• WFH or work remotely.
• Team buildings and company remote office. Sounds boring? The whole team met in Spain, South Africa, Italy, Portugal, and France. We also enjoy a spontaneous beer after work or any sports activity.
• Office in Brno and Lisbon. We have two office locations: the core team is located in Brno and we have one newly opened office in Lisbon. How does working for a month from Lisbon sound? :)
• Young and passionate team.
• Refreshments and delicious coffee in the office area.
• Hardware/ remote setup package.
• Competitive salary and regular salary revaluation.
• Bonuses based on company performance.
