We're on the lookout for a back-end developer with experience and proficiency in NodeJS/TypeScript to join our team at Vizzuality. We're open to both mid-level and senior developers , and we can offer a salary range of €30,000 - €49,000, depending on your experience.  We are also open to exploring full-time and part-time contract options (with a minimum of 80% time dedication) depending on your needs. Currently, people work remotely or in our office in Madrid . We are a world-leading technology, design, and science agency. We design and develop data-driven tools and applications for international organizations that focus on Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Inequality. Solving such large and complex problems will bring you into contact with new technology and some of the world's most interesting organizations and academics in machine learning, remote sensing, and planetary data. You'll be working on projects like these: A day in the life of a Back-End Engineer at Vizzuality  We're looking for a developer who will work with a world-class, super-talented team of engineers, designers, scientists, and project managers. You will design and develop cross-functional, multi-platform application systems to ingest, process, analyze, and serve large amounts of data in the cloud, often in real-time, and ensure their craftsmanship, availability, resilience, and scalability. Our core stacks are NodeJS/TypeScript (with Express/Koa/NestJS as the main frameworks, depending on the project). You will work on NodeJS/TypeScript projects and experiment with new technologies. You will take the lead and meet with clients at different stages of the development process to help define requirements and propose solutions and alternatives. You will spend a significant amount of your time liaising with data scientists, front-end engineers, project managers, and designers to find novel and creative technical solutions that solve specific client/project needs and integrate disparate technologies such as remote sensing, machine learning, image processing or statistical computing into public APIs. Lastly, as an Engineer at Vizzuality, you will ensure software quality, robustness, and compliance with standards by reviewing code, documenting, and creating automated tests. You’ll pair with your peers on the backend team so you get used to the way things are done at Vizzuality. You’ll read documentation, write new features, and participate in team meetings (weekly, with the possibility of daily stand-ups on some projects).  You’ll get to know people from the other functional teams (science, design, front-end, business development) and development teams.  You'll join a more extended project at the end of your first month. You'll develop ownership of the project you've been assigned to.  You'll write features, documentation, tests, and fixes. You will join the back-end work within your project team and with support from the back-end functional group.  You'll also have opportunities to develop your skills in data-rich application engineering, cloud computing, and data processing.  Finally, you'll participate in defining the architectures and functional features for new project phases or projects. You will have written several innovative features for ground-breaking projects with significant real-world impact (we mean this). You'll take ownership of substantive features within larger backend projects.
