Job Description

WE ARE DEXT!

Our suite of tools makes accountants more productive, profitable and powerful. In doing so we give them back the most precious commodity, time, which they can then use to add greater value to their clients.

Accountants and bookkeepers are the backbones of every successful business. For more than a decade we’ve empowered our partners with innovative technology solutions to make businesses better. Dext allows them to meet the challenges they face today, tomorrow and in the future.


Architecture amp; Stack
Our systems are mostly done using Ruby on Rails. We use Python for machine learning. We have a large web app, a few smaller ones, a few mobile apps (Android and iOS), a growing fleet of services (in the sense of Service-Oriented Architecture) talking via HTTP.


Team, Challenges amp; You
The development team is mostly in Bulgaria. Because we’re a remote company we have people in Sofia, Plovdiv, Burgas, Varna, Ruse. Everyone can choose where to work from.

We have reasonable processes, organised Kanban boards, stand-ups that don’t last more than 10 minutes and product owners writing detailed (sometimes a bit too detailed) specifications. We value highly the quality of the code and good practices. We’ve suffered enough without them. Our management is well aware of that. We’ve even had the need to explain that we don’t need so much time for paying back technical debt. Some of us even talk about those things (code reviews, automated testing, refactoring).


About the role
We are looking for a Team Lead to join our engineering team and help us build functional software and web-based applications. Responsibilities include creating back-end solutions, building efficient gems and integrating front-end components. If you’re interested in both getting your hands dirty with writing code from scratch and reviewing other people’s work, we’d like to meet you. As a team leader, you will be the contact point for all team members, so your communication skills should be excellent. You should also be able to act proactively to ensure smooth team operations and effective collaboration. Ultimately, you should lead by setting a good example and engage the team to achieve goals.


Responsibilities

  • Write effective and scalable code;
  • Test applications for performance, responsiveness and security;
  • Review and contribute to junior developers’ code;
  • Improve and maintain applications after deployment;
  • Create an inspiring team environment with an open communication culture;
  • Set clear team goals;
  • Delegate tasks and set deadlines;
  • Oversee day-to-day operation;
  • Monitor team performance and report on metrics;
  • Listen to team members’ feedback and resolve any issues or conflicts;
  • Recognize high performance and reward accomplishments;
  • Encourage creativity and risk-taking;
  • Suggest and organize team building activities.


Requirements

  • Work experience as a Team Lead or similar tech lead role;
  • Experience with Ruby on Rails, GraphQL, React and Typescript is preferred.
  • Write clean, maintainable and efficient code;
  • Design robust, scalable and secure features;
  • Contribute in all phases of the development lifecycle;
  • Follow best practices (test-driven development, continuous integration, SCRUM, refactoring and code standards);
  • Drive continuous adoption and integration of relevant new technologies into the design;
  • Organizational and time-management skills;
  • Decision-making skills;
  • Team spirit;
  • BSc in Engineering, Computer Science or relevant field.


Benefits
Remote work is now the norm.

The difference is that we've been fully remote for many years now, and know how to properly work remotely. Additional benefits for our Bulgaria-based team include an employer-paid additional medical insurance, life and risk insurance, and 25-days of paid annual leave.


When there's no pandemic, the team gets together for monthly team drinks and an off-site somewhere beautiful twice a year. We hope to resume these activities as soon as the situation permits.

We strive for quality and a stress-free work environment.

We want our colleagues to learn and grow.

We’ll be happy to have a like-minded person join us!
