Job Description
We are looking for experienced Senior Backend Engineers who bring unique skills to our team and help us shape the future of the time tracking industry.
The salary for this position is €80,000 annually.
You can work from anywhere in the world as long as your main location is between UTC-4 and UTC+8:00.
About the team
We are a global team of 100+ awesome people working from over 40 countries around the globe.

Every few months we travel to meet up somewhere in the world and spend some quality time together. We place a huge amount of trust in our people, and we measure the outcomes rather than the work itself. Our values fuel our results.
