Frontend Engineer

Let’s start with an easy question: Do you get the thrills when talking about programming? Yes? Okay, so far so good.

Let’s jump to the next one: Would you like to be part of one of the best fintech companies coming out of Copenhagen, Denmark with ambitions to expand to new markets? Oh yes, tech stack – would you like to work with React, Node, Express, Adonis, SQL/PostgreSQL, Docker/Docker Compose and CI/CD tools?

If you can answer YES to this as well then we are off to a pretty good start. Let’s continue.

We are Risika. Data lovers, Culture geeks, Visionaries, Doers, Leaders, Gamers, Learners, Explores, Moms, Dads, Dog lovers, Strategists, Foodies but most importantly we are People-People and we genuinely believe that our people are the most important part of our company. Still with us? Great, then please keep reading.

We are looking for a Frontend Engineer based out of Plovdiv in Bulgaria (remote is also an option) that of course has the right experience and skills to take us to the next level but buying into the above and having a “we” approach to your job is an absolute must. Perfect, you are on board with that as well. Let’s dive a bit deeper into the role.

We would like you to:

• Feel comfortable with taking ideas to action in the least possible time
• Have a broad background in tech products and it would be amazing if you have experience with fintech but it’s not a must
• Develop, maintain and test our React dashboard with the latest technologies and development techniques
• Have a flexible mindset in terms of agile methods like Scrum and Extreme Programming
• Work in close collaboration with our Backend and Data Science teams
• Be a people-centric Frontend Engineer that takes pride in constructive feedback, development of peers, pushing status quo and living up to our virtues
• Be comfortable with being on a startup journey where things can be a bit chaotic at times

What we would like you to have:

• Experience with React and it would be amazing if you have experience with some of these technologies as well: Node, Express, Adonis, SQL/PostgreSQL, Docker/Docker Compose or CI/CD tools
• A driven approach to your work and being okay with taking responsibility
• The ability to think outside the box and identify opportunities
• An open minded approach to coaching and willingness to always learn new things
• Strong interpersonal skills and excels at relationship building and collaboration
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English and other languages are just a huge plus

You’ll probably have some other topics and ideas that we need to solve and that’s why the above bullets are what we imagine the main focus would be but we expect that you lay down the cards and help us understand what we need to focus on achieving our goals.

What you can expect from us:

• Of course we offer all the lovely benefits like an awesome location in the heart of Plovdiv, flexible working hours, multi sport card, the option to work remote, health insurance, lunch and all of that good stuff. But the most important part is that we offer you the opportunity to join a one of a kind startup journey where you can create real impact (not just the buzz word kind of impact but real impact where you take full responsibility of your area of expertise) and work together with the friendliest and brightest minds in the industry.
