Description

You embody an engineer’s mindset and are always curious about the mechanics behind the scenes • You are enthusiastic about learning by doing and are committed to putting in the effort to continuously improve your skills • You speak and write acceptable English – not perfect English, just acceptable – since you will be working with people from all around the world • You value teamwork and prioritize collaboration, focusing on collective goals and harmony in the workplace • You are self-motivated and self-disciplined and thus work well in a flat hierarchy with lots of freedom • You love to have creative freedom, make independent judgments, and live up to the responsibility that comes with that freedom • You are driven by the desire to make a positive impact in the world and to meaningfully improve the lives of others • You get bonus points… if you have expertise in TDD, DDD, Event Sourcing, and CQRS • if you hold a Master’s Degree in Computer Science • If you possess strong skills in database management, including scaling and optimization • if you have experience with Vue 3 and/or Angular • if you have experience building mobile apps • if you have experience with technologies such as Stripe, Swoole, Customer Data Platforms, or Analytics tools • if you have contributed to open-source projects (you will join a team of Laravel/framework contributors)

Benefits

• A founder and CEO who is also a developer, understanding your challenges and triumphs • A zero-effort development environment based on Docker, streamlining your workflow • The opportunity to refine and develop battle-tested guidelines for JS and CSS • Access to a comprehensive library of books and courses, ensuring your skills and knowledge remain at the forefront • A full-time position, within a fully remote organization. Daily video-based contact with your colleagues from elsewhere on the planet, and you’ll get to meet them on team trips 1–2 times per year. • Forget fluffy titles, political agendas and corporate drama. Your colleagues value your character, work ethic, and what you actually achieve. Junior or senior, if you embody old-school virtues of always striving to become the best version of yourself, you'll thrive at the IxDF. • Work with a highly scalable impact-driven model where we’ve consistently created more than 50% growth year-on-year since 2013. Bootstrapped with zero investment capital but built purely on consistency over time and the conviction that affordable design education can improve the quality of life of humankind. • Work in a company where the distance between idea and execution is minimal. We’re a highly agile organization with zero bureaucracy or corporate politics – but with a high level of orderliness and efficiency. • Have the chance to feel the impact of helping an ever-growing design education brand empower and enrich the lives of millions of people. • Work in a company culture where idealism meets high performance and excellence. To help us improve the world (and yourself in the process), you’ll need grit, work ethic, long-term thinking, and self-discipline. • Work with people who have a hands-on attitude and a bias towards action as opposed to fluff-filled, unrealistic strategies. You’ll need crisp execution skills yourself and the ability to impress your colleagues with concrete results, just like they’ll impress you.
