Your key responsibility will be to enforce our code best practices for each product your dev team builds for our customers. You will guarantee we efficiently implement new features and cleverly manage the technical debt. A significant amount of your work will be to help on a daily basis your dev team members to navigate the technical challenges they might face and to help them grow their technical skills.

Work hand in hand with the CTO
Take technical leadership to support a team of 6 developers
Code review / code peering responsibilities on all agency projects

This list is indicative. If you think that the mission is for you, don’t hesitate to reach out anyway to explain us why!
The technical team
The team aims to stay agile despite its growth. We make sure that everybody can work on projects that get their interest, even if it requires training to jump on new technologies.
We have well-defined process and methodology, based on Extreme Programming, to ensure that requirements are realistic and that deadlines can reasonably be met.
Our company goal is also to embrace diversity and to make sure that we can all work together. The team is international and we would welcome foreigners as well as Spanish candidates. As such, the working language in the office is English.
And finally, we encourage everybody to participate in open-source projects like BERNARD, our own framework to create chatbot services. This of course includes coding but also stepping on the stage to talk about what we do and what we believe.
