(Senior) Software Developer

Hion

We at Hion are looking to create a measurable positive impact on the world around us – not just by optimizing the digital experiences for our customers, but by taking the extra mile to create more sustainable solutions and enable success for both our customers and Hionians. We are a software company that gives a damn – about our customers, our Hionians, and the world around us.

With almost 40 experts onboard, we specialize in designing, building, and continuously developing the digital customer experience touchpoints for our clients: websites, mobile applications, and eCommerce solutions. Our design-led approach combined with the technical architecture we create provides the foundation for the outstanding digital experiences we aim to deliver.

What does the role entail?

As a Software Developer, you enjoy solving challenges and working in an agile environment. Our projects offer a healthy balance of both worlds. You’ll get to build brand new digital services from scratch using the latest tech stack, as well as continuously modernize, maintain, and scale existing solutions for our long-term clients. We hope that you have strong experience in JavaScript and full stack development and are eager to share your knowledge with fellow developers.

 Your daily work consists of project-based collaboration with skilled developers, project managers, and designers, while also working directly with clients to understand their needs and goals. Our project teams are typically compact and agile. Usually consisting of  a designer, 1–2 developers, a project manager or CSM. In this role, you will develop and optimize mobile applications, utilizing both front-end and back-end technologies such as TypeScript, React, React Native, Next.js, and Node.js. AI-assisted programming is part of your daily work, and you want to develop yourself and make use of different techniques in working with AI.

As a developer, you ensure the technical success of projects, understand the full project scope, and take responsibility for architecture decisions as well as supporting other developers and actively participate in quality assurance. Together with the project team, you understand the client’s objectives and communicate directly with them. While our organization is self-directed, we follow clear processes around technical implementation, quality evaluation, and code reviews. These reviews are carried out by our most skilled developers – and you could be one of them now or in the future.

💰Salary range: 4000–5000€, depending on your experience and skills.
