This allows me to learn to improve both myself and the product constantly.” - Philip Beel, Engineering Manager. • You are fully proficient in English. Written and spoken, as we are a bunch from around the world, but we work in English. • You optimise for distributed and asynchronous work, favouring documenting and taking notes over having ad-hoc face-to-face meetings that leave no trace and exclude the people who were not around at the right time. • You have a strong sense of ownership, you care about what you build, and you are building the right thing that serves your customers. • You focus on people; you are able to hire the right people, distribute and organise, are able to develop your team through constant feedback, keep them healthy and focus on retention • You like to optimise processes to speed up product development without sacrificing quality. • You’re a builder at heart. You enjoy the opportunity to have extensive exposure, making things work for a company in the long term, and having an entrepreneurial attitude towards anything that comes your way. • You are either eager to learn or comfortable scaling and operating large-scale microservices in high-load and growth environments. • You are knowledgeable in several languages. Most of our current codebase is in Go and Typescript • You enjoy removing unused features more than shipping new things that no one cares about. You run away from the success theatre. • You ship small things fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning on each step. • You like to use data over opinions to make decisions. And are okay with finding the data yourself when it’s missing. • You are comfortable with change, whether it involves adjusting priorities, setting new goals, or meeting deadlines. You see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. You are also comfortable with challenging the status quo and pushing for change. • You’re looking to make a serious impact and are excited about working in a high-growth startup. • As part of the recruitment process at Fonoa, we process your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Notice for Job Applicants. This notice explains how and why your data is collected and used, and how you can contact us if you have any concerns.
