About Robin:
Robin is the leading hybridworkplace experience platform. Since 2014, we’ve empowered people to do their best work by building tech solutions that fuel vibrant workplace experiences. Our platform redefines work and community building for hybrid companies everywhere. With industry-leading desk booking and room scheduling software alongside our powerful workplace analytics, our mission is to empower people to do great work and foster a sense of community.

Hybrid Work:
We believe in creating a workplace environment where magic happens, where the best work gets done when employees have the best of both worlds. Some days that’s conjuring up innovation from the comfort of home, and there are other days when that takes place at our Robin Croatia office, located just south of Maksimir park. As our teams value the energy of in-person collaboration and the productivity of heads-down remote work, we ask our Robinauts to come into the office at least two days a week, so we can live by our customers’ experiences and address pain points to make our product even better. Please note that no relocation or sponsorship opportunities exist for this role, and that the candidate must be based in Zagreb. 

We’re looking for an inspiring Senior Backend Engineer to join our 20+ person Croatian team in Zagreb focused on building the software that powers the next generation of the workplace.

In this role, you will:

    • Work closely with your teammates to find and develop simple and elegant solutions to hard  problems
    • Improve the codebase and product by identifying best practices and new technologies, and planning how to smoothly integrate them
    • Pair up, mentor, share your experience, and learn from your fellow engineers
    • Lead the backend engineering team to identify and build microservices where needed, test and tune performance, reduce complexity, and work directly with other team members so that they may build the next great feature on our platform

You are qualified if you have:

    • 5+ years of experience in NodeJS, PHP, Java, Go, or other common server-side languages
    • Knowledge of DevOps, service-oriented architecture, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
    • Strong understanding of DDD concepts and SOLID principles, ability to design and build packages in a modular, scalable way
    • Experience with unit and integration testing frameworks
    • Strong understanding of building and working with REST APIs
    • Experience with relational databases and performance tuning
    • Integration with CI/CD pipeline and deployment of applications
    • Experience working with an Agile development team

Nice to have:

    • Knowledge of GraphQL
    • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
