Hi Fizzy,

I am a Developer Relations Engineer at source{d}, we are working on improving developer recruitment. We have analyzed your open source contributions on Github and we think that you could be a good fit for the position as Frontend Engineer at Skip App (http://skipapp.com/).

Based in Berlin, Skip App is a social network that allows you to share photos with friends locally, immediately and very simply. The product facilitates distributing photos to friends and reimagines the core idea of taking and sending a photo, by including an effective geolocation sharing range. In addition, they plan to expand the concept to large venues and events, so subscribers can get pictures from unique moments, shared by their favorite artists and celebrities.

Skip App's stack is microservices based. On the frontend, they are using React-native for the mobile application, while the backend is running on Javascript with NodeJS and Go modules. As they are still an early stage startup, methods of deployment and preferred databases have not been defined yet, which gives you increased freedom when joining.

They are looking for a frontend engineer to join their Berlin office and work in a small team of 2 engineers. Ideally, you would have a strong background in Javascript using React-native and should have experience with responsive design. Any experience with REST APIs in Node.js or Go would be highly appreciated.

Apart from the technical challenge, you will also be working with the rest of your team and, together, will have a major impact on the company’s growth. Finally, they follow Scrum to organize their work.

The salary ranges between €40.0000 and €60.000 indexed to experience and knowledge. If needed, relocation support will be granted or a partly remote option (with visits to Berlin every 6 weeks) might be considered.

Should this be something you wish to explore, please let me know and we can set up a call to check if this is a good fit for you and Skip App.

Our technology is constantly evolving, so if you think that this position doesn’t match your profile or interests please accept my apologies and feel free to let us know. I will be more than happy to discuss other opportunities that could be a better fit for you. If you are not interested at all, just drop me a line, and I won’t contact you again.

Hi Miguel,

I am a Developer Relations Engineer at source{d}, we are working on improving developer recruitment. We have analyzed your open source contributions on Github and we think that you could be a good fit for the position as Lead Developer at Weissmaler (http://www.weissmaler.de/).

Founded in Berlin, Weissmaler is Germany’s market leader in offering painting services for both B2B and B2C. Users can easily get a quote online and, if accepted, they send a painter to the user’s home/office/etc. The products they want to develop can be divided in client-oriented - these are the website, the landing page and the lead generation portal - and internal tools, such as the operations support tool - useful to calculate pricing, manage painters, automatically order materials and communicate effectively with painters and customers.

From a technical point of view, everything is being built from scratch - they are open to introducing new technologies and change processes if it is more convenient. The stack of the company is mainly composed by JavaScript; they are using NodeJS and ExpressJS for the backend - more relevant for the internal tools - and ReactJS with Redux for the frontend - fundamental for the client-oriented products. Moreover, they are thinking about implementing a microservices architecture, any previous experience is welcome.

As a lead developer, you will be responsible for both the development and the management of the new platforms as well as the tools they are building. As a leader, you will be the most senior developer in the team, and you will have to take important decisions about the product, together with the founders. You will also have to decide which new technologies to introduce and to train the new members in the team.

At Weissmaler, the development is not driven by any methodology at the moment, but they are willing to implement agile/scrum and tools like trello or jira. Their team currenlty consists of a senior and a junior developer and their goal is to add another four developers before the end of the year.

The salary ranges between 40.000€ and 70.000€ and the option to get a significant equity package based on your performance.

Should this be something you wish to explore, please let me know and we can set up a call to evaluate in depth if this is a good fit for you and Weissmaler.

Our technology is constantly evolving, so if you think that this position doesn’t match your profile or interests please accept my apologies and feel free to let us know. I will be more than happy to discuss other opportunities that could be a better fit for you. If you are not interested at all, just drop me a line, and I won’t contact you again.
